Title
Discussion of issues relating to options for the repair/placement of the arches/columns at the entrance to the Court and Theatre Building.
Body
Summary:
Damage to one of the columns occurred during a charity event that was taking place at the Court and Theatre Building. Parks and Recreation staff was asked to make repairs to the damaged tile located on the column. During the repairs, the contactor making the repair brought to the attention of staff that the interior of the column showed signs of significant deterioration. It was recommended that staff look into this matter further. After several weeks of discussion and investigation, City staff contracted with Carnes Engineering, Inc. to conduct and initial structural assessment of the Court and Theatre Building columns located on the East side of the building. After the initial structural assessment, City staff requested that Carnes provide the City with several repair recommendations. It was determined that excessive moisture and the construction design led to the deterioration of the structural integrity of the columns.
Attachments include photos from the initial assessment from City staff when the damage was first discovered.
Discussion is to determine next steps in repairs related to the Court and Theatre Building columns.
