Old Business

1. Update on Water mitigation project-Herb updated the status of the water mitigation project. Cutting the cement pad under the front steps proved to be more difficultthan anticipated because of the thickness of the slab and the rebar it contained. Dave Colton was forced to bring in heavier equipment to break up the slab and Klein Masonry also was brought in to jack hammer the pad. Exposing the foundation uncovered serious unforeseen issues with the front cement blocks which have severely deteriorated. Herb me with Mason Dave MacKensie to discuss the scope of repairing the damage. 

New Business

1. Next Steps- The Committee agreed that the floor joists would have to be shored up under the front vestibule before the mason could remove and replace the damaged block. Ray moved to hire Carl at $45 an hour to complete this project. Carl estimated it would take three hours to complete. Mike seconded. All in Favor. Mike moved to hire MacKensie to remove and replace the damaged cement blocks and address other areas of concern in the foundation. Carl seconded. All in favor. The committee also agreed not to replace the front step cement pad, but to ask Dave and George to spread additional stone as a base for the steps and direct Charlie Bowen to asphalt in front of the entire building.

 
 
There being no further business of the committee, Carl moved to adjourn the meeting at 5:48pm. Mike seconded. All in favor.
