City manager Randy Patrick said they want to bring in an engineer who “can actually make sure we’re doing the right thing on that roof,” said Patrick, so there are no further problems later on. Patrick indicated that the issue with the roof is that it is flat and needs to have an angle to it. Council voted in favor of hiring the engineer, with councillor Kent Lindgren saying it was “fairly prudent” of the city to do this work, “considering the history of the CUplex and the challenges that have been faced out there since the beginning of that”.
There isn’t much to say about it, really. On the day that I went, there was no lineup to speak of and I was in and out of there so fast that I completely forgot that I was supposed to do a “first person” story on the whole experience one where I could de-mystify the vaccine experience for you at home. Sorry, but it was pretty standard stuff. I got vaccinated, and then I went home. And frankly, I don’t want to make that big a deal of it, given the fact that so many readers out there seem to want to get into fistfights on social media over vaccines. Everyone is free to decide for themselves, this is a free country.
