CONSENT ITEM #21
TO: Mayor and City Council
AGENDA ITEM: Roof Repairs at Public Works Facility
SUBMITTED BY: Rob Weldon, Public Works Director
REVIEWED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
Cathy Bendel, Finance Director
Lake Elmo Finance Committee
BACKGROUND:
Since being constructed 10 years ago the Public Works Facility is starting to see signs of age and wear
that are beginning to cause both exterior and interior damage to the building. Over the past three years
small leaks in the roof over the office area of the public works facility have worsened to a point that
ceiling tiles are becoming stained, water accumulates on the floor and mold is appearing on walls.
The Lake Elmo Finance Committee reviewed this recommendation and unanimously approved
recommending this to the City Council.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL:
Should repairs be made to the roof at the Public Works Facility?
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS:
If approved, repairs will be made to the known and documented areas where leaks are occurring. The
contractor will also inspect all other areas of the roof, re-sealing areas of deteriorating caulk and checking
for loose and missing roof fasteners.
Also, as part of the repairs, the addition of rain and snow diverters will be installed in the area severe with
the most severe leakage and damage. These diverters will help prevent similar problems from occurring
in the future.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Cost of the repairs shall not exceed $1,600.00
OPTIONS:
• Approve Roof Repairs to Public Works Facility
• Deny Roof Repairs to Public Works Facility
• Table Roof Repairs to Public Works Facility
