Motion carried. <br /> 10 D) DISCUSSION ON STORM WINDOWS FOR COURTHOUSE — Mr. Humphrey had a <br /> sample of a storm window and this window mirrors the interior window so when you look at it <br /> they look like the interior windows. The state historical society suggested a company that can <br /> actually make the arch on the top like the original windows. It the storm window was one piece <br /> of glass the glass would have to be 1 inch thick and this style will attach to the look not on the <br /> stone. He also stated that they looked at the windows at the Museum of Nebraska Arts in <br /> Kearney and they also mirror the inside windows. They need to decide what type of material <br /> they want to use, aluminum or wood. <br /> Quandt questioned if they could get proposals on both. Mr. Humphrey said they could bid one <br /> as an alternate and cover bot options. <br /> Lancaster stated she did not favor the aluminum but they would not have to be the silver color, <br /> but it has to be something permanent. Wood would require a lot of maintenance and they need <br /> to cut down on maintenance. <br /> Bredthauer questioned what the R value would be and Loran stated it would be the same <br /> because there is a seal on both but the aluminum would have less maintenance. <br /> Schuppan noted that no one puts on wood storm windows they are obsolete and wood requires <br /> more maintenance. <br /> Arnold expressed concern that the wood looks classier instead of aluminum. Mr. Humphrey <br /> stated he is not sure how many companies make the custom storm windows. He also noted <br /> that this company will not install the windows you need to have a general contractor to do the <br /> installation. <br /> Lancaster noted that it is important to make sure they are permanent and the maintenance is an <br /> issue. It is not unusual to have a contractor do the installation. <br /> 6 <br />
