City Council Study Session — 06/21/04 <br />DRAFT Minutes - Page 27 <br />problem and identified courses of action for mold abatement. <br />Mr. Schwartz summarized the report by noting that the floor and <br />roof drain systems had failed; better ventilation <br />recommendations; cleaning and sanitizing carpets; and <br />investigating for mold spores in the building; at an estimated <br />repair cost of $44,417.99.

Mr. Beets noted that additional follow up <br />
