County to replace carpet and ceiling tiles after elevated mold tests at South County Courthouse
Summary
Follow-up testing by Villa Environmental found elevated mold in multiple South County Courthouse spaces; county staff said ServPro warranty checks are underway and plans call for replacing carpet and ceiling tiles and re-testing affected areas.
Interim Administrator Mike Sepic updated the Administration Committee that follow-up testing after a mold cleaning at the South County Courthouse found elevated readings in several areas and prompted plans for remediation.
Sepic said the Villa Environmental tests showed the Elections storage area was "significantly elevated," the secondary overflow judges’ room tested above acceptable levels and "the Prosecutor’s Office waiting room was the worst." He said porous materials such as carpet and ceiling tiles may be contributing and that staff are checking the ServPro warranty; the plan is to replace the carpet and ceiling tiles and then re-test the spaces.
The Committee discussed building engineering and warranty coverage; no procurement or spending motion was recorded at the meeting.
