Weyburn City Council will meet tonight at 6 p.m. in Council Chambers at City Hall, with a fairly packed agenda to cover.
Mayor Jeff Richards will proclaim May 12th to 17th, 2025 as Economic Development Week in Weyburn. This is following the Province of Saskatchewan declaring May 12th to 17th as Economic Development Week in Saskatchewan and May 12th as Indigenous Economic Development Day.
Richard Henning, Director of Leisure Services will make a recommendation to award a tender for a roof replacement for Weyburn Police Station and fall protection.
The Weyburn Police Station roof was assessed in July 2024 as part of a city-wide roof assessment program. When the roof was assessed, it was considered no longer serviceable and beyond serviceable life. It is common to have water leaking to the inside of the building when snow melts or during moderate rain events. There was a capital budget allowance of $725,000 for this project. The total budget was to cover fixed Professional Fees and Construction costs.
