Roofing Project Uncovers Surprises and Sparks Change Orders

In a recent government meeting, officials discussed necessary change orders for ongoing roofing projects, particularly highlighting unexpected issues uncovered during renovations at the Latino Association building. The discussion revealed that an estimated $5,000 would be needed to address these issues, with potential additional costs for the community development building, which is larger and may present further complications.

The board unanimously approved a motion allowing change orders up to $15,000 to be signed by the chair or the administrator, ensuring that any necessary repairs can be addressed promptly. This decision comes as the board prepares for a two-week hiatus before their next meeting, emphasizing the urgency of the roofing projects due to impending weather conditions.

Additionally, the meeting touched on the administrative building's roof, where a seal coating finish is planned instead of a full replacement, aiming to extend the roof's lifespan by at least five years. The board also discussed the state parks plan, with one member indicating intentions to extend a grant related to the project.

In personnel matters, the board approved the hiring of Drew Mosier, a retired Marine Corps veteran, for the sheriff's office, marking a positive addition to the team. The meeting concluded with the approval of the consent agenda, which included various routine items.
