Monday evening, members of the Plymouth Board of Public Works and Safety received a brief update on the status of The Point at 309 Gibson Street.
On Friday, July 12th the Plymouth Building Inspector shut off the electricity due to safety issues at the college dorm style housing facility. Following an inspection that determined major issues with the electrical system and long-time leaks of the roof, for the safety of the 16 to 20 people living at the facility the power was off although the building still had running water and restroom facilities.
Most of the residents are currently housed at a motel in town thanks to the generosity of many of the county’s non-profits who stepped up to help, including United Way. They have housing until August 1st.
At Monday’s meeting, Building Inspector Dennis Manuwal said he stopped at The Point before the meeting and the owner has hired a contractor to work on sealing up the roof. He said they are addressing the bad side of the facility, taking out the wet ceiling tiles and insulation and will replace it with new ones.
Councilman Duane Culp asked about the McCord property on Harrison Street. He was told they are waiting for a permit with anticipation to demolish the building and continued clean up of the property.
Plymouth Police Chief John Weir set up an active shooter training with the FBI. About 24 officers from the City of Plymouth, County Sheriff’s Department and area departments are participating. Monday was primarily training, and Tuesday was simulation training with rubber bullets. The chief said if there were a situation in Culver that several officers from Plymouth and other area departments would go down to assist so all of them are working and training together.
