Special Board Meeting
APPROVED
Call to order: by President, Rick Osowski
Roll Call: Joy Garski, Rick Osowski, Betty Williams, Arnie Kaminski and Steve Rutta
(Absent: Cindy Gemza and Jessica Moore)
Also Present: Lee Portmann (Commercial Roofing)
Village Hall Roof Repair:
Lee explained the 45 ml ballasted roof with stones versus the 60 ml adhered type. He recommends the adhered because future repairs or replacement are more cost effective
The bid proposal for the 45 ml ballasted roof is $42,059.00
The bid proposal for the 60 ml adhered roof is $48,026.00
The bid proposal does not include decking replacement but Lee states if there is unforeseen deterioration requiring a major amount of replacement decking, a cost will be negotiated at that time.
Due to leaking issues, the existing insulation and its RV factor are completely destroyed.
The adhered roof could be installed within the next couple of weeks and the ballasted roof, not until the first or second week of November. Use of the Village Hall for the Election on November 4th was mentioned.
Discussion on concerns about future use of the building
began and Lee departed at
Since the fate of the library is at stake, board members expressed their concern for spending an extra $6,000.00 for the adhered roof. Use of the Village Hall for Board meetings and Elections was mentioned as well as the suggestion to move the Village office to that location.
During the estimate process, both contractors submitting bids suggested the adhered roofing system.
Motion: Rutta/Williams to approve the bid proposal from Commercial Roofing for an adhered roof in the amount of $48,026.00 to replace the roof on the Village Hall.
Kaminski opposed: All others in favor. Motion
Carried.
