The Coffee County Capital Outlay Committee convened on October 2, 2025, to discuss various projects and funding strategies. The meeting focused primarily on a roofing project involving Tremco, a company previously contracted for similar work.

The committee reviewed a proposal to manage the roofing project by acting as its own general contractor. This approach is expected to save the county approximately $200,000. The plan involves selecting three or four contractors through Tremco, allowing the county to choose the best bid. The committee confirmed that funding for the project is already allocated within the capital projects budget.

A motion was made to proceed with the roofing project using the cooperative purchasing method, which was seconded and unanimously approved. The committee expressed a preference for this cost-saving strategy over traditional bidding processes.

In addition to the roofing project, the committee discussed several completed tasks, including the installation of a partition wall at the trustee's office and carpet replacement in the library. They also addressed mold remediation at the ambulance station on Avoca Road, which has been successfully completed, ensuring air quality standards were met.

The meeting concluded with a positive update on the senior citizen center parking lot, which has been well-received by users. The committee set the date for their next meeting on November 6, 2025, to continue discussions on ongoing and future projects.
