Item Description Reviewed by
Follow Up on Overhead Doors at Fire Station #1
I met with Thomas Prady, owner of the Garage Door Store, on Tuesday, May 2 following questions
raised at the May 1 Council meeting regarding the purchase of the overhead garage doors for Fire Station
#1 from St. Cloud Overhead Door Company. During this meeting, Mr. Prady and I compared the color
white of the garage doors he offers versus the white of the doors that were recently installed by St. Cloud
Overhead Door Company. Both Mr. Prady and I agreed that there is a significant difference in the white
his store uses versus the white that St. Cloud Overhead Door Company uses. Mr. Prody himself
recommended that we purchase the new doors fram the company that supplied the current doors at
Station #1, St. Cloud Overhead Door Company.
