Mold Still A Problem At
City Hall
Due to mold inside
Dunn City Hall, the magistrate, dispatchers and other police personnel
have been temporarily moved upstairs. The city council will vote tonight
on a contract with a local firm to help alleviate the ongoing problem. The
problem lies in the ceiling tiles in the hallway near the magistrate’s
office downstairs. Mold spores also exist in the mayor’s office bathroom
upstairs. The matter became an increase concern in January when
dispatchers and officers downstairs complained to Police Chief Tim Benware.
