The Coffee County Capital Outlay Committee convened on October 2, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including infrastructure improvements and HVAC system repairs at the county jail.

The meeting began with discussions regarding the removal of a small canopy that was deemed inadequate for its intended purpose. A motion was made by committee member Miss Reed to remove the canopy, which was seconded by Frank Watkins. The motion passed unanimously, allowing the committee to proceed with the removal and seek credit for the action.

Following this, the committee addressed the installation of a larger awning. A motion was proposed to handle the project through county purchasing rather than through the contractor Romax. This motion was also seconded and approved, with plans to coordinate with Gannon for the necessary drawings and specifications.

The committee then reviewed bids for the awning project, ultimately selecting Gary Gannon as the low bidder. The motion to proceed with Gannon's bid was made and approved, ensuring that the project would move forward efficiently.

The final significant topic discussed was the HVAC systems at the county jail. Rick reported on the status of repairs, noting that six units were currently being repaired with parts ordered. The focus was on addressing heating issues in anticipation of colder weather, with assurances that all heating problems would be resolved within three weeks.

In conclusion, the meeting effectively addressed the removal of the canopy, the procurement of a new awning, and the ongoing HVAC repairs at the jail, with all motions passing smoothly and plans set for follow-up actions.
