Alderman Siegel
If someone could find out if we’re following up on that and what’s actually gone on there. Something was
clearly done wrong from the jump. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen again and figure out if this is even a
bigger problem.
Mr. Kooken
| can report back on when the repairs were originally done and what the follow up has been.
Alderman Cookson
| believe that | read that the temperature needed to be above 40 degrees in order for the work to be done. |
don't believe the forecast for 40 degrees is going to be met until later this month.
Mr. Kooken
It’s hard to tell when they are going to be able to do that. The reason we went ahead is as soon as we get
those days, they will be able to get in there and get that done. If we went through the regular bid process, we’d
be four or five weeks out.
Alderman Cookson
I’m nto suggesting that’s what we do. What precautions have been made between now and the time that the
work gets done and we actually reach a temperature of 40 degrees to minimize the amount of additional
damage that is going to be caused by the leak?
Mr. Kooken
The supplier we chose has been up there and got it tarped and protected. As long as we don’t get some big
deluge, we should be okay until they can get up there and get the repairs done.
Alderman O’Brien
At my house, | just got the roof done and they gave me a guarantee. Do we have a general file for schools or
different stuff like that? Do we have a separate file for that in case we have a situation like this so if it is under
the guarantee we can go back after the original installer?
Mr. Kooken
| do know the warranty is no longer in effect. Going forward, we would.
