Council approves abatement plan for old Main Street church pending SHPO grant approval
Summary
The council authorized proceeding with abatement work on the old church on Main Street to address lead, asbestos and mold if the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) approves the grant; two bids were received and the project funding is from SHPO.
Ella Trujillo said two bids were received to abate lead, asbestos and mold in the old church on Main Street; a third bidder did not respond. Trujillo said the project is funded entirely through a State Historic Preservation Office grant, but SHPO has not yet completed its approval because of staffing delays, so the city cannot execute a contract until SHPO signs off.
Trujillo explained one bid included mold abatement that could increase cost after drywall removal; the historical society will provide a full update at the next council meeting. Council moved to approve the abatement and to expend grant funds once SHPO approval is received.
