The North Judson Town Council took action Monday night to take care of some needed repairs at Town Hall.
Town Superintendent Joe Leszek told members that a few different companies were contacted about the building’s brick issues but only Schambers Masonry responded.
Leszek said that Dave Schambers came and assessed the situation and provided a cost estimate for how much it would take to repair the problems that were identified.
He explained, “He gave a quote to grind out the top four courses of brick and tuckpoint the south wall, totaling approximately 910 brick, chisel out and replace all the worst ones, there’s approximately 65 of those, fill holes joints along the back building where the old brick met the new brick for $3,275.”
Council President John Rowe asked if that work would resolve the leaking issue. Leszek noted that there’s a chance some roof repairs may also be necessary to address that. He provided the council with his recommendation for the time being.
Leszek stated, “My opinion is we definitely take care of the one problem that we know about, go through the winter, see if there are any more issues with that. If there is, then there should be some maintenance dollars for the Town Hall to budget for next year to maybe do some roof repairs.
Clerk-Treasurer Andrew Rowe noted that funds are budgeted to account for needed repairs.
There was a consensus amongst the members that the brick problems should be resolved as soon as possible. The council voted unanimously to approve the quote from Schambers Masonry.
