Town Building
The Butler Town Supervisor approached Supervisor Crane with information he wanted to share regarding the Town Hall building, the Butler and Huron buildings being the same design and constructed around the same time. The Butler Town Hall building has developed cracks in the structure. In the opinion of two professional masons independent of each other, the cracks cannot be repaired since the building material was inferior and will continue to deteriorate - limiting the life of the building to approximately 20 years.
Following discussion of the matter, the Board was confident that although the building designs are the same, they were constructed by two different contractors. The crack in the Huron Town Hall building, caused by water freezing, is repairable.
RESOLUTION #107-2012

RESOLVED, to solicit written quotes for repair of the front of the Town Hall building overhang and roof.
