Summary
Whitfield County commissioners discussed replacing a major HVAC unit, cited a prior $50,000 unit cost, and a commissioner moved to award work to Air Management; the transcript records the motion but not a final vote or contract execution.
County commissioners discussed HVAC equipment replacement during the meeting. A speaker referenced a prior replacement cost, saying, “We replaced 1 here several years ago, the big unit, and it was 50,000 for the just for the unit. Then we had to have it installed.”
Later the transcript records a motion: “I'll make a motion to go with air management. And also I go with the warm up in the meantime to get chill. Mhmm.” Another participant seconded the motion. The discussion included remarks that insurance reimbursement or SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) funds would cover costs and that the expense would not have to come from the general fund “until ... we have the insurance reimbursement or SPLOST funds to pay through.”
The transcript does not include a recorded vote tally or a signed contract. The motion names Air Management as the chosen vendor in the meeting discussion, and prior unit cost history was provided for context, but procurement records and insurance reimbursement amounts were not included in the excerpt.
Further procurement and budget details — including installation costs, contractor agreement, and timing — were not specified in the provided record and would require follow‑up with county procurement staff.
