The GEPL Public Meetings document discusses the history and current conditions of a building, as well as proposed solutions. It summarizes that the building has experienced issues since construction in the 1990s due to flaws in its initial design and construction. A capital repair study identified needed mechanical, electrical, and architectural repairs. The document proposes a bond issue to address existing problems and a tax increase for ongoing maintenance to fund repairs.
