The Trousdale County Public Works meeting on January 30, 2025, highlighted ongoing challenges with the courthouse's cooling system. Officials reported that the system has been malfunctioning, causing frequent fuse blowouts and overheating issues. The compressor, which was recently installed, has been problematic, with delays in receiving necessary parts, including cooling fans and motors.

The situation has created discomfort for courthouse staff, who have resorted to keeping courtroom doors open to manage temperatures. However, this solution is not entirely effective, as unoccupied courtrooms can lead to inadequate cooling. The officials expressed frustration over the delays, noting that parts are currently on backorder, with some items expected to take up to 65 days to arrive.

The discussion also touched on warranty concerns, with questions raised about whether any of the malfunctioning components are covered. The meeting underscored the urgency of resolving these issues to ensure a comfortable working environment for courthouse employees. Further updates on the situation are anticipated as parts arrive and repairs are made.
