St. James City Council approves bid for Community Building roof repair
St. James Plaindealer
At Tuesday’s St. James City Council meeting, the main topic of discussion was the bids received for the Community Building roof replacement project.
The city presented two options to bidders.
Option one was to repair the roof, sweep off the old stones on the roof, cover the existing roof with a barrier, and then cover the barrier with a rubber roof. Option two was the removal of the old roof to the decking and the replacement of damaged decking to fully replace the roof. Fully replacing the roof would add two layers of insulation and covering with rubber roofing.

In a short St. James City Council meeting on Tuesday night, the council passed a pair of resolutions and a request to begin obtaining quotes for re-roofing of the St. James Community Building.
Before attending to any other business, Gary Sturm swore-in Hannah Rushing to the vacant council seat, and the council unanimously appointed Rushing.
The council then heard from Adam Jacobs with an update on approving plans and ordering advertisements for bids for the scheduled street project.
The preliminary deadline for bids was set for March 4, but Jacobs anticipated that the deadline would be moved back due to miscommunication with the railroad.
