LEOMINSTER -- The City Council took the first step Monday night to help pay for the replacement of the leaking roof on Northwest Elementary School.
The council took the first of two votes needed to authorize the city to borrow $3,249,170 for the replacement. However, the city is not on the hook for the entire $3.2 million, according to City Treasurer David Laplante.
The Massachusetts School Building Authority, which determines the need for school facilities' improvements throughout the state, will reimburse the city 72 percent of the total cost of the project.
The city will be responsible for $909,767 of the cost of the roof's replacement, said Laplante.
Water leaking from the roof above the gymnasium prompted the request to the state for assistance to have it replaced.
"There is a tremendous amount of leaking," said Superintendent Jim Jolicoeur.
He said the infrastructure of the roof is failing as are the roofing tiles above the gym and the leaking water has the potential to damage the gym's wooden parquet floor.
When the City Council took the first vote Monday on authorizing the loan, the item was not on the agenda.
Jolicoeur explained the reason the vote was not included on the agenda was because the projected costs of the roof's replacement wasn't learned until after the council's agenda was set last Thursday.
All of the necessary approvals and authorizations from the school committee and City Council must in the hands of the MSBA's Board of Directors for approval by the last week of January, said Jolicoeur.

DETROIT -
Take a look at this cellphone video sent in by a Local 4 viewer.
By the time the camera started rolling Wednesday morning, the window washer finally could relax. Detroit firefighters weren't going to let him fall.
The man was cleaning windows at a building in the 900 block of Henry Street in Detroit when something went wrong with his gear. He was left hanging several feet up the air. When firefighters arrived they quickly raised the ladder. Some of them went inside to help with the rescue, manning the windows.
As they worked to get him down the bucket of water turned over. Minutes later, the window washer was back on the ground and the workers in the office building -- and the one across the street -- went back to work after taking a break to watch this rescue unfold.
The window washer wasn't injured. He didn't want to talk on camera.

WACO, Texas (PRWEB) December 11, 2014
December 21 marks the official start of winter and heavy storms have already blanketed much of the U.S. Before more storms hit and even colder days arrive, Aire Serv has tips to keep houses warm and the utility bill affordable. Heating costs rise during the winter months but these tips can help reduce the amount of money spent on heating the home.
Adjust the Temperature To decrease the cost of heating a home, lower the thermostat setting when not in the home. The typical thermostat setting during the winter months is 78 degrees. Lower the temperature to 72 degrees when at work or leaving the home for more that a few hours.
Maintain the Heating System One way to reduce the amount of energy spent during the winter months is to make sure the heating system isnt costing more money than it should to run. Have a certified HVAC technician check over the heating system before the cold weather sets in. A proper furnace tune-up will make sure the system is ready to go for winter.
Keep Vents and Registers Open Blocked or closed vents and registers make furnaces work harder than they should. Blocked vents do not allow for proper airflow. The furnace will continue to run but the rooms will not heat up. Always unblock and open all vents and registers before running the furnace.
Check the Thermostat Before starting the furnace, check to make sure the thermostat is in proper working order. To reduce the electric bill, install a programmable thermostat to control the temperature of the home from a mobile device.
Turn Down the Water Heater Temperature According to energy.gov, water heaters can account for up to 25 percent of the energy consumed in the home. By turning the temperature of the water heater down to 120 degrees, homeowners can reduce the amount of energy it takes to run the water heater.

MULTI-million pound plans to demolish and rebuild Castlepoints flawed car park have been given the green light, with work due to begin in spring.
Planners at Bournemouth council have granted consent for the shopping centre car parks rebuild, which will allow the park to remain open throughout the major work.
And Castlepoints owners and Kier, the original contractor, have issued reassurance that measures will be put in place to limit disruption and inconvenience to both customers and retailers.
Preparations will now get underway on the phased plan with the work expected to properly start in spring 2015.
Mark Watt, spokesperson for the owners, The Castlepoint Partnership, said: This is the result we had hoped for. The councils decision endorses our plan to deliver a long-term solution for Castlepoint, which will help it to retain and strengthen its position as a major destination in the retail hierarchy of the region.
Sean Jeffery, managing director, Kier Infrastructure UK, said: This is very welcome news. Together with the Castlepoint Partnership, we have worked hard to reach this stage.
There remain a few key steps to put in place, but this consent brings us closer to being able to start work on-site.
The car park demolition and rebuild will be done in five phases, starting at Sainsburys and working along the two malls.
Void spaces underneath some shop units will be opened up, creating extra car parking spaces.
A minimum of 2,500 car parking spaces will be available at all times, which is enough to cater for all but the very busiest spells.

Castlepoint car park to be demolished and rebuilt as multi-million plans get go-ahead
The design phase of a multi-year effort to revitalize the Chartiers Avenue business district in McKees Rocks is almost complete and poised to move onto the construction phase.
Residents, business owners and local elected officials had the opportunity Dec. 2 to view the plan, ask questions and make suggestions about the design work being done by Lami Grubb Architects of Pittsburgh.
The firm has been working on plans to reconfigure Chartiers into a destination site featuring new restaurants, office space, housing and entertainment venues.
A grant from the Allegheny County Economic Development Community Infrastructure and Tourism Fund is paying for the design work.
This is the next big piece of the puzzle to revitalizing lower Chartiers Avenue, said Taris Vrcek, executive director of the McKees Rocks Community Development Corporation.
The community development corporation launched the effort several years ago with a series to meetings attended by residents and borough officials to explore ways to improve the business district.
The borough has been a fantastic partner, Mr. Vrcek said.
Jonathan Glance, the lead designer on the project with Lami Grubb Architects, said a huge difference has already been made with the recent conversion of Chartiers into a two-way traffic pattern.
The one-way traffic pattern created a super highway with cars driving too fast through town, Mr. Glance said.
Also planned are new street lights, bump outs, street trees and other amenities like benches and new trash cans.
