( KLZA)--Falls City Council members spent a good portion of their meeting time Monday night discussing bids for repairing the roof of Prichard Auditorium.
Three bids were submitted for the project and each contractor proposed a different way to correct issues with the roof.
Bids ranged from around $30-thousand up to nearly $120-thousand. Proposals included patching leaks to covering the entire roof.
City Administrator Gary Jorn said the bids came in higher than he anticipated and noted state statutes allow the city to hire an engineer estimate the project to what the bids are, if those bids are more than $30-thousand.
Following a lengthy discussion about the various proposals, Council members voted to have an engineer look at the roof and present a report on findings and make a suggestion on what to do.
