Progress continues on improvements to the Silver Lake Auditorium.
Next on the “to-do” list is window replacement. Monday night, the Silver Lake City Council reviewed a proposal for purchase of 22 windows for the auditorium. The cost of the windows will be $4,338.75.
The city staff estimates it will cost around $50, on the very high end, to install and finish each window. It is hoped to have volunteers help to reduce the cost of installation.
