STAFF REPORT
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Board of City Co missioners
FROM: Bob Smith, Public Works Director
DATE: October 8, 1998
RE: Withers-Maguire House
ISSUE:
Should the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners authorize an
expenditure of$2,810.00 from General Fund Contingency to have Orkin Pest
Control tent the Withers-Maguire house in order to fumigate the drywood
termites?
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
During the course of performing some minor repairs, we discovered suspicious
wings in the cobwebs in the attic. Orkin was contacted to conduct a termite
inspection and they discovered an infestation of drywood termites. Their
estimate for eradicating the termites is $2,810 and this expense was not
anticipated in the preparation of the Facilities Maintenance budget for this year.
We have contacted the Historical Society and the week of October 26th is
available for us to have this work done.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is, therefore, requested that the Honorable Mayor and Board of City
Commissioners authorize the payment of$2,810.00 to Orkin for the fumigation of
drywood termites at the Withers-Maguire house. The funds are available in
general fund contingency 001-516-00-4900.
