COUNCIL BUSINESS 7.01: Roof Replacement for Old Town Hall Public Works Superintendent Riemer reviewed the staff report and stated that staff feels that the roof should be replaced at a minimum to protect the rest of the structure from water damage, until a full restoration plan can be formalized and budgeted for in the future. Councilmember Kuzma stated that he does not want to see the building demolished and would like to see it repaired as it is an important part of Ramsey's history. He asked the funding source. Public Works Superintendent Riemer replied that the facilities fund would be used. Councilmember Musgrove asked the process that would be used to assess the boards and whether that cost would come before the Council or would be added to the final cost. Public Works Superintendent Riemer explained that he could not leave the roof open long enough to wait for a Council meeting to consider approval of the boards. He noted that the estimated cost for boards is $5 per linear foot. City Council / October 8, 2019 Page 10 of 15
