Housing Program Manager Barnes answered it may be prudent to replace the siding when the
windows are being replaced for a better window installation. To reduce costs the windows in the
brick portion of the building could be left saving the other windows for replacement parts.
Commissioner Willis questioned the accuracy of the window replacement cost.
Housing Program Manager Barnes stated the data is a few years old and could be updated.
Commissioners Willis, Soderberg, and Chairman Kulaszewicz were in favor of hiring a
contractor to obtain bids for the most expensive items. Document revisions would include
current costs and median life expectancy of replacement items. The revisions would aid the
commissioners in making an informed decision.
HRA Executive Director Juetten stated staff would revise items that were over 1 year old.
4. ADJOURNMENT
MOTION by Chairman Kulaszewicz, seconded by Commissioner Soderberg, to adjourn the
meeting at 7:52 p.m. Motion approved unanimously.
