SAU - Warrant Article 3
One 'Grok - One Thumbs up
My only question on this article was if one roof could have been done this year and another one next year. Turns out, it would have cost more overall if it was a "one and one" situation. Expensive, but overall much more expensive if all the equipment et al had to be brought in a second time. BudComm members did get up on the roof and look at it.
ARTICLE III School Buildings Roof Replacement
To see if the school district will vote to raise and appropriate the sum of Four HundredSeventy Five Thousand Dollars, ($475,000), for the replacement of the school building roofs to the Gilford High School and the Gilford Elementary School and authorize the withdrawal of Fifty Thousand Dollars, ($50,000), from the capitol reserve fund created for that purpose. The balance of Four Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars, ($425,000) is to come from general taxation. (Majority vote is required).
School Board: Recommended Budget Committee: Recommended
Principle: You have to maintain what you have; it gets more expensive if you don't and the life span of the roofs is gone.
Our recommendation to our fellow citizens is to vote "Yes" on this article (just wish it didn't cost this much).
Comments
Understandably maintenance is key, but why does it cost so much more to repair/replace a municipal owned building than a privately held one?
