Town to pursue courthouse fire-detection work and courtroom upgrades; RFPs and RAN mentioned

Town of Salem Town Board · September 18, 2024

Summary

Herb Perkins reported the wainscoting stripping was awarded and the town will secure a revenue anticipation note to fund a fire-detection system while issuing RFPs for courtroom sound and light; roofing and floor work also under review.

At the Sept. 18 meeting the board received a courthouse update from Herb Perkins. The bid for stripping wainscoting was awarded to Paul Kobyluch; the board plans to secure a revenue anticipation note (RAN) linked to a fire-detection system, with the minutes noting "$20,000 coming from the budget." The minutes record a figure of $80,000 in connection with the fire-detection work but the phrasing is ambiguous about whether $80,000 is the total project cost or the RAN amount.

Staff also reported that RFPs will be issued for courtroom sound and lighting (Bill Clary preparing the RFP) and that roof inspections and floor work are proceeding. Perkins said the town will pursue grant opportunities for equipment such as the Hudson Headwaters van through the Mary McClellan Foundation, and several community events at the courthouse were announced.
