Cost of repairs to be higher, council told &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 KINGSTON- Council was told at Monday night's work session that repairs
being made to the recreation center's climate control system will be costlier
than expected. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Administrator Paul Keating informed council that the work will cost between
$7,500 and $10,000 more than the original contracted amount of $55,669. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

$65,850. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Council plans to award the contract to Mark Daniels Construction. The award
of the contract was placed on the agenda for February's regular meeting. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
