C. Fruitdale School Update
Sally Payne reported that she received an e -mail from Patrick Eidman at
Colorado Preservation, Inc. He is still working on the structural
assessment grant. It is necessary to put together an MOU (Memorandum
of Understanding) to authorize CPI to administer a grant on behalf of the
Authority. He asked how involved the Authority would like to be in
selecting an architect. CPI could handle this process if the Authority
wishes. There was consensus to have CPI move forward with
architect selection.
The City's Parks Department will take care of cleaning up the outside of
the property. Weston Solutions has agreed to clean the inside of the
building some time during July or August. After the heavy rains in May,

plaster has been falling down inside the building. Sally Payne has met
with two roofers who recommended replacement rather than repair since
the roof is 30 years old. The ballpark estimate is $80,000. She has
contacted Patrick Eidman to see if there is any possibility of obtaining a
grant for roof replacement. Ms. Payne will also check to see if there is the
possibility of a grant to reimburse the Housing Authority if the Authority
pays for the replacement. There was some discussion regarding
replacement versus patching. There was consensus to patch the roof in the
meantime.
There was discussion about forming a subcommittee of interested people
(Friends of Fruitdale) once a use for the building has been established.
There should be one member of the Authority on the subcommittee. Sally
Payne was given direction to arrange a joint meeting on August 9 at 4:00
p.m.with the Housing Authority and Patrick Eidman to allow for more
specific discussions.
