County staff gave several facility updates during the regular session: a walkthrough for the jail project is scheduled, a pre-construction meeting was held with Martin Enterprise for paving at the Community Service Building, and the repurposed flagpole from the sheriff’s office was installed at the health district.

Jamie, identified in the meeting as the staff presenter for project updates, said a walkthrough for the jail project is scheduled for Wednesday and that additional contractors may join the bid process. Jamie also reported that Martin Enterprise—identified as the contractor awarded the paving contract—attended a pre-construction meeting at the Community Service Building to finalize scheduling.

Staff reported that the county repurposed the old sheriff’s office flagpole and had it reinstalled at the health district offices. The county listed a mortuary item on GovDeals and said postings would be staggered to avoid overwhelming staff with pickups; staff also said they had reached out to local funeral homes about interest.

Remodeling of the former health department space for the Job and Family Services (JFS) office is in the demolition stage. According to the staff update, crews have removed floor treatments and begun demo work; staff estimated about eight weeks for the project overall, with roughly one week of demolition completed and “at least two more weeks” of work on specific items.

An airport authority board member replacement was also mentioned; staff said a board member had stepped down and a replacement will be brought before the commissioners later in the day.

No formal motions tied to these facility updates were recorded in the transcript; the items were provided as staff updates to the board.
