The city Board of Directors approved a contract to replace the roof at the district court building.
For the last 10 to 15 years, the building has been plagued with leaks and dealt with two major floods inside the courtroom. The roof is no longer under warrant, so it must be replaced. The roof has deteriorated to the point that the building is deteriorating.
The city contracted with an outside source to conduct a moisture and visible mold test and none was found, said city administrator Phillip Patterson.
Directors voted unanimously to approve a contract with Roofing Systems Inc., for $146,819. The new roof will be constructed within 30 days, weather permitting.
In other business, directors approved:
• An ordinance to rezone property at 2209 and 2211 W. Central St. from R-1 (residential, medium) to R-4 (residential, multi-family). The request was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on April 14.
• A resolution that will allow the city to purchase 4.23 acres at 23328 Raines Road for future expansion of the city's Water Treatment Facility.
