Procedure and next steps

For items tabled (roofing change order, exterior waterproofing, utility relocation agreement, generator procurement), commissioners instructed staff to return with detailed, priced proposals, warranty or contract documentation, and schedules for vendor inspections or warranty work before authorizing additional expenditures. For items rejected (planning-and-zoning remodel bids), staff and the requester were told to revise scope documents and return with clarified drawings and specifications before re-solicitation.

Presenter Ryan Nelson (Wagoner County Sheriff’s Office) reported that the Oklahoma Department of Health conducted an unannounced inspection in late January and that the jail passed with zero infractions for the first time under the current standards. Nelson said 82 inmates were in the facility on the day of inspection; some inmates were contracted to other counties that day, which reduces the on-site count.

Nelson and sheriff’s staff highlighted training and retention efforts. They reported about 2,925 total training hours across the facility in 2024, an average of roughly 108 hours per officer for the year, and said new hires receive about 80 hours of initial training in the first two weeks — above the state minimum. The sheriff’s office also reported higher retention compared with 2020: the jail now counts 14 employees with three years’ service and more than 11 employees with at least one year on the job.

Officials briefed commissioners on off-site housing costs and booking trends. Staff said gross expenditures for off-site inmate housing in 2024 were about $169,820 before reimbursements; the county contracts with other facilities when the local jail lacks capacity and those off-site placements also create transportation and staffing costs, staff said. Officials noted the jail’s average daily and monthly counts and said most inmates are felony charges.

Sheriff’s office representatives also noted recognition from the Oklahoma Sheriffs’ Association: detention officer Kayla (Kayla Rogers in the transcript) received the association’s detention officer of the year award; Major Russell was nominated for jail administrator of the year. Commissioners inspected the jail after the presentation.

No formal action or policy changes were taken at the meeting; commissioners complimented staff and scheduled a facility inspection.","Sheriff's staff reported a state health inspection with zero infractions, increased training hours and improved staff retention; commissioners received data on off-site inmate housing costs and facility metrics.",{"_33":85,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":86,"_41":87,"_43":88,"_45":89,"_47":90,"_49":50,"_51":91,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":92,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":93,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6396048,"Wagoner County commissioners table change order for courthouse roof repairs after contractor work, warranty questions",1045,1249000,2294000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2097653-5e9f1bf5fb1be4eb78b9700c97cf81df&start=1249&end=2294","/articles/6396048/Wagoner-County/Oklahoma/Wagoner-County-commissioners-table-change-order-for-courthouse-roof-repairs-after-contractor-work-warranty-questions","Wagoner County commissioners on Jan. 6 discussed ongoing roof repairs and exterior waterproofing at the county courthouse, questioned a contractor change-order request and agreed to table action until the county can get clearer proposals and schedules.

The discussion followed reports that recent contractor work left a visible white strip along a shingled ridge where modified bitumen had been applied over ridge shingles, and that leaks continue in the booking office area. A registered architect and roof consultant who inspected the building said the installations appear watertight in many places but noted unfinished work and details that likely caused current leaks, including an unsealed, surface-applied metal counter flashing with weep holes and cracking at a wall joint.

The consultant told commissioners that the contractor’s installation left a nonstandard counter-flashing detail that appears never to have been properly sealed, and that the visible white material over ridge shingles is a cosmetic mismatch. He recommended either sealing the top of the surface-applied flashing where feasible or, for a longer-term repair, cutting a reglet (a standard recessed flashing detail) into the mortar joints above and installing new metal counter flashing to provide a durable waterproof overlap.

Maintenance manager Platter said Carlisle (the original roof warranty contractor) and the roofing contractor were contacted after a leak report at the sheriff’s office and that the county has filed claims under the manufacturer’s warranties. He said a contractor inspection was delayed over the holidays and that the county has not yet received a schedule for warranty repairs. For a separate leak over the booking office, Platter said the manufacturer-supplied warranty identifies the manufacturer as Elevate and the county is awaiting its response; the roofing contractor has argued the leaks could be from windows.

Commissioners and the consultant discussed a change-order request from the roofing contractor for additional sealant work after wall washing revealed water infiltration. Commissioners repeatedly raised the concern that a surface-applied sealant could fail again on the coarse brick surface and that a cut-in reglet with new counter flashing is a more durable — but more expensive — repair.

After discussion, Commissioner James (recorded on the motion) moved to table the change-order request to allow staff to get a priced alternative that includes cutting-in a reglet and any necessary metal counter flashing. The motion was seconded and carried on a roll call vote, with commissioners recorded as voting aye.

The board also discussed related warranty and waterproofing matters separately and later voted to table the broader exterior waterproofing item as well so staff can provide additional documentation and pricing.

Commissioners asked staff to obtain more detailed, priced options from the contractor (including the cut-reglet alternative), to secure a schedule from Carlisle and Elevate for warranty inspections and repairs, and to document which portions of the work remain under warranty and which are change-order scope.","Commissioners discussed leaks and unfinished work on the courthouse roof and exterior waterproofing, heard technical recommendations from a roof consultant and maintenance staff, and voted to table a contractor change-order request pending more information.","actionData","errors"]
