Warren County facilities committee reports candidate found; county attorney office window alteration approved

The Warren County facilities committee reported to the Board of Supervisors that it has identified a preferred candidate for the county facilities manager position and will present more details later; the board took that as an informational update. Separately, the board approved a request to reuse an existing transaction window from a removed wall and alter the county attorney’s office counter to improve security and customer service.

In the facilities manager update, a committee representative said the county had reviewed applicants and found “a great candidate” with experience the committee sought; the board did not take a hiring vote at the meeting but said it will bring appointment details forward when available. On the office alteration, a county employee described reusing a previously installed window and a transaction table; the cost estimate provided at the meeting was “less than $100.” The facilities committee had previously approved the change and the board approved the request by roll call.

Why it matters: Filling the facilities manager role affects capital planning, building maintenance, and long-term facility strategy for county-owned buildings. The approved window alteration is a small facilities change to improve security and transaction flow at the county attorney’s office; the board approved the modification and noted the modest cost.

Next steps: The county will return to the board with hiring details when available. Facilities staff will implement the office alteration work and report completion.
