The town needs to find funds to correct structural issues in the Fire Station roof that caused a recent ceiling collapse.
Selectman Edmund St. John IV told the board last week that the fire station roof is in worse than anticipated condition and the town will likely have to expend nearly $95,000 to make necessary repairs.
"We have to repair that portion of the roof. It does not propose an immediate threat but long term it needs to be replaced," he said. "We have to figure something out because that is a lot of equipment plus it is a safety issue. If there is a call you can't come into a smashed truck."
The town hired Wooliver to make repairs to a portion of the roof over the kitchen area but extensive rote was found when the roof was removed. Work was stopped and the site covered.
Two weeks ago, a portion of the ceiling collapsed over the women's bathroom and over the chief's office.
"They exposed a significant amount of rot," St. John said. "After they found that they stopped the work and covered it and about two weeks ago there was partial ceiling collapse."
