The director reported the walkway railings were repainted in September and the parking lot stairs were to be painted within two weeks.
Quotes were being collected for an enclosed awning vestibule at the nutrition center entrance, which is fully exposed to weather; the director said it could be supported with the Council's formula grant.
Operations and Maintenance submitted a quote to the fiscal 2028 capital budget to replace disintegrating timber retaining walls with masonry, and a quote for a switchback ramp that would remove the stairs from the parking lot and put accessible spaces near the side entrance. Only six accessible spaces are on level with the building now.
