Chiles/Creighton-Smith
David Dryer, 3145 W. 4th Street, questioned the cost of the item.
Aric Schroeder, City Planner, explained that asbestos was uncovered at the site and they are
working with the DNR on removing the additional asbestos. The cost is hourly based but he
estimates that the cost would likely be about twenty -thousand dollars.
Mayor Hart commented on the need to process the removal of asbestos differently.
Mr. Simon questioned what percentage of projects like this come back later with additional
asbestos being uncovered.
Aric Schroeder explained that it is fairly common due to hidden elements and despite the
investigative efforts, sometimes this can happen.
Mayor Hart commented that the amount of missed asbestos on this project was unexpected.
The air monitoring is important to make sure this price doesn't go exponentially high.
Mr. Boesen questioned if this is paid for with Community Development Block Grant funding.
Page 12 of 13
Mayor Hart commented that the majority is, but if there continues to be increases and the
project turns to all RACM, we will have to come up with other ways to cover it.
Aric Schroeder explained that the testing done to date, the demolition contract and change
order approved earlier, is all anticipated to come through the HUD funds through Community
