Award of Bid for the Beaverdam School Roof to Swank Enterprises

Commissioner Lux-Burt wondered if there was ever going to be a purpose for this building.

CEO Connie Ternes-Daniels stated when the funds came forward to assist in building the Beaverdam Park there were discussion on taking the building down. The entire park project has been paid for with the Baucus funds and these funds are part of the project. the Federal Highway told the county the building had to stay and they helped with getting the building mothballed and cleaning out the asbestos. The roof is in bad shape and it will take a lot of money to renovate the entire building for future use.

Amy Lynn Kellogg, 2010 Ogden stated her organization is looking to use the building for education purposes and she would like to know what they would have to do to use the building. Ms. Kellogg would also be interested in looking inside the building.

CEO Connie Ternes-Daniels stated that the building would need a total renovation in order to be used. SMA did a structural analysis on the building and they said it would take several hundreds of thousands of dollars to renovate. CEO Connie Ternes-Daniels stated that the Park Director John Leo Sladich would be able to take her into the building, but it is not safe because the building has more problems than just the roof as there are structural damages too. At this time the project is looking to be approved to award the bid to fix the roof, but there is a process until the roof is completely done.

Commissioner Smith moved to award the bid for the Beaverdam School Roof to Swank Enterprises for $115,000; seconded by Commissioner Mulvey

County Attorney Krakowka stated that the new display case in the courthouse is for the Spanish American War guns, which are currently kept in the Library basement. If the courthouse would like to display the guns a resolution is needed that would state we would display them, but the artifacts still belong to the Library. The library has a lot of different types of artifacts and it would be another reason to get people into the courthouse to see them.

Mitch Grady, Library Director, does not want the library being turned into a museum. Commissioner Lux-Burt stated she would love to see the memorabilia being displayed in a case for others to see.
