Summary
Entwistle Community League is an active Community Association serving Entwistle and surrounding area and plays host to a variety of events and facility rentals each year. Over the past year, they identified a number of structural concerns with their facility including their roof and foundation. Due to the emergent nature of the potential issues, Administration secured the services of a structural engineer who completed a facility assessment. He determined that while there were no issues with the foundation, the roof was in need of some major repairs which are outlined in the attached report. In addition, the furnace is in need of replacement as it as reached the end of its functional lifespan and the kitchen sink is need of replacement as it no longer can keep up with the demands and is constantly needing to be unplugged. More details are included in the attached Administrative Report and Grant Application.
The total costs of the above noted items is approximately $110,585. Entwistle Community League is seeking $32,892 in support from the County. They will be contributing $20,000 from past fundraising, have secured $2,400 in-kind and will be applying for a Community Facility Enhancement Program Grant to cover the remaining $55,293. If approved, the change to the 2015 budget will be noted during Spring Budget adjustment.
