Council seeks quotes for garage roofing, will explore insurance coverage
Summary
Members agreed to solicit bids for missing shingles and consider insurance claims; they also discussed collecting quotes for gutters and getting a fuller roof bid rather than piecemeal repairs.
The council agreed to get contractor quotes to repair missing shingles on the park garage and to check whether insurance will cover roofing repairs. Members said the town should avoid piecemeal fixes and instead seek a single comprehensive bid to prevent higher costs later.
One participant described prior experience getting a large roof quoted at about $15,000 and urged getting references. Members recommended including gutters as an add-on so the town can decide later whether to pay for them separately or perform work in-house. They noted that gutters are typically excluded from insurance coverage and discussed the town's deductible level.
Separately, members raised concerns about moisture seeping through cinder-block walls inside the garage and recommended assessing whether mold remediation or structural repair will be required while the roof work is done. The group agreed to collect bids and bring cost estimates back to the council for a potential additional appropriation if needed.
