Roof committee seeks budget boost for aging center repairs
The FCCA faces a requested roughly 25 percent budget increase to cover a roof repair at the senior center after insurance disputes. Whiteley warns of concealed damage, mold and potential encroaching risks from brown recluse spiders. Estimates range 30 000 to 50 000 dollars, with 43 000 dollars most viable. FCCA reserves total about 700 000 dollars. 28 660 dollars remains after planned growth. Commissioners voted to table the request for deliberation as they seek creative funding and budget balance strategies for FY 2018.
