The Coffee County Capital Outlay Committee convened on October 2, 2025, to discuss various agenda items, including updates on ongoing projects and necessary changes to the agenda. The meeting commenced with the attendance roll call, confirming that all members were present. The committee approved the modified agenda, which included discussions on change orders for the animal shelter and the Lanham Library roof.
Following the approval of the previous meeting's minutes, the committee moved on to unfinished business. The first topic addressed was the health department facility. Committee members Scott and another representative provided updates on the project's progress. They reported that the construction is advancing well, with minimal issues. Key developments included the installation of data conduits and the framing of interior walls. The exterior sheeting is nearly complete, and the contractor is aiming to lay asphalt before winter.
Next, the committee received an update on the animal shelter project. The sewer system installation beneath the slab is nearing completion, with inspections being conducted to ensure all plumbing is correctly placed before pouring the slab. While some slow issues were noted, the committee is actively addressing them.
Overall, the meeting highlighted the positive progress of both the health department and animal shelter projects, with committee members expressing satisfaction with the current status and ongoing efforts to resolve any outstanding issues. The committee plans to continue monitoring these projects closely in upcoming meetings.
