The Town of Bay Bulls in the April meeting approved some repairs for the town hall that members of council say need to be seen to sooner rather than later.
“There have been a series of items around the building that have been identified that need to be addressed,” explained Deputy Mayor Jason O’Brien.
Council unanimously approved $19,000 plus HST, worth of repairs.
“It’s work that has got to be done,” said councillor Keith O’Driscoll. “If anyone’s been down to the council building lately, they would notice some rot around the windows and around the doors. Unfortunately, the building is getting to the age where we’re going to have to start spending money on it.”
Councillor Jason Sullivan agreed with the assessment, saying that if council waited any longer the situation would likely only get worse.
The Town also awarded English’s Paving a contract worth $23,925 plus HST, to patch paving at six areas throughout town.
Sections of Sheldon Drive, Southside Road, Quay’s Road, Jane Walsh’s Lane, Bill Joy’s Lane and Marsh Road will receive patching.
