As we did repairs we thought we’d renovate other areas: replace carpet on walls with bead board, replace all of the ceilings instead of only those damaged, remove metal partitions in bathrooms. Mollie Gilbride moved to approve; seconded by Dennis Loughry. Discussion: Mayor Kline: Of the $247(k) how much was insurance? Rorar: $199,000. Gilbride: Yes, the $48,000 we spent was above the insurance. Loughry: What was the renovation total amount? Gilbride: $247,783.65. Loughry: So, we can renovate a Community Center for $250,000 and it’s $400,000 to build a restroom in a park. Gilbride: Well, we’re not putting up walls, running electric, plumbing, etc. Loughry: I just think it’s ironic.
