At
CARPET BIDS
Mike Coughlin presented the board with bids for the carpet project for
the Town Offices. The entire project
entails installation of new carpet, removal of old carpet, dumping fees along
with the cost of moving office furniture and labor. Mike Coughlin stated that
the costs have gone up immensely and the Capitol Plan was budgeted for
$15,000.00 for the project. The expenses for the project will be more than what
is in the Capitol Plan. Mike Coughlin stated that his maintenance budget would
not be able to cover the overage of the project. Mike Ball asked Mike Coughlin
what areas could be delayed. Mike Coughlin stated that the Town Clerk and
Treasurer’s office would be done along with the Library, Police Department and
entry hall. All of the areas needed to be done since the project was extended a
few years out and currently the carpet has gone up in price. The moving of the
office furniture quote was extremely high and Mike Coughlin would try and get
some other quotes. Mike Ball stated that he didn’t feel comfortable moving
forward with this project until the cost were within the Capitol Plan and not
go over that budgeted amount. Mike Ball
stated that the Board needed to know the total cost of the project laid out
before they would approve the expense.
It was the consensus of the Board
to have Mike Coughlin finish with the quotes for the moving of the office
furniture.
The Board asked Mike Coughlin to come back on
December 7th meeting to discuss his progress on the project.
With much discussion on the foyer project Mike
Ball stated that he sent Mike Coughlin an energy efficiency grant to be filled
out which could help with the project since the Town is making the space more
efficient. Lynda stated that committees
are to be formed for how the space will be used after the project is finished.
Mike Coughlin stated that Kyle Vinton has
completed his 90 days probation period and he would like to increase his rate
of pay up .50 cents per hour. Mike Ball stated that the Board was working on
the personal evaluations before the merit raises would be awarded so that would
have to wait until the Board gets back to him.
The Board thanked Mike Coughlin.
