Hickory, dickory, that's an expensive repair job
Have you glanced at the Bluffton town hall clock tower recently? There’s some shingles missing. A repair job is on the way, but it won't be a cheap fix.
Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator, informed Bluffton council members on Monday that he has received one estimate for the repair. The estimate is $17,500.
Mehaffie says that the tower roof leaks and that’s why the clock, from time to time, doesn't keep time correctly. The shingles that are loose are not part of the town hall renovation. That roof work was part of an earlier fixup.
The repair will probably require a crane and basket. Council asked Mehaffie to see if other estimates for the job are available.
In other council business, action is anticipated soon on new regulations for bed and breakfasts in the village. A hearing on those regulations was part of the Monday meeting.
Bluffton’s only bed and breakfast, "The Lamplight B & B,” operated by Joan Bauman, closed when she retired. The new regulations open the possibility for bed and breakfast start ups in the village.
