The Collin County government meeting on September 22, 2025, focused on the urgent need for disaster recovery and water extraction services following significant flooding in the county building. Mr. Schauffner addressed the commissioners, detailing the damage caused by recent heavy rains, which affected multiple floors of the facility.

To address the flooding, the county is awarding a contract to Carpetek for water extraction and remediation services, with a budget not to exceed $150,000. This decision comes as the current vendor has already reached $48,000 in expenses, necessitating an increase beyond the typical $50,000 cap for such services. Carpetek is expected to begin work immediately, with plans to deploy water extraction equipment and fans to mitigate further damage.

Mr. Schauffner emphasized the importance of this action, citing the need to maintain the building's functionality for public use. The flooding raised concerns about water penetration levels, making it essential to act swiftly to ensure the safety and accessibility of the facility.

Funding for the project will be assessed through insurance claims, with options including the risk fund and building maintenance budget, depending on the outcome of the evaluation. The meeting concluded with Mr. Schauffner inviting questions from the commissioners and requesting a moment for personal remarks after the vote.
