The court received a facilities and maintenance update Sept. 5 noting 121 work orders in the last two weeks and continuing roof issues at county buildings. Staff said the roof manufacturer warranty language was poor and limited — described to the court as warrantied for 55‑mph wind and lacking broad impact coverage — and that the county will pursue additional review with design and construction oversight firms and the Texas Association of Counties (TAC).

Facilities staff listed recent repairs and ordered replacements including blower motors, laundry machines (funded via DCIF per staff notes), and repairs to the gun‑range HVAC unit. The presenting staff member said hail damage on one roof so far totaled about $16,000, below the county’s deductible, but that the warranty language raised concern for future storms and long‑term roof reliability on million‑dollar roof systems.

Staff said they will submit the warranty and damage documentation to TAC for inspection next week and request the firms that designed and oversaw the project explain what remedial options exist under the original contract and what additional warranty or bonding remedies might be available. The court discussed insurance implications and noted the county may pursue non‑renewal of the problematic insurance lines for that building and explore replacement or bonding strategies.

No formal action was taken at the meeting. Staff will report back with TAC’s findings and recommendations for negotiation or corrective action with contractors, and will bring proposed procurement or remedial steps to a future court agenda if necessary.

Ending: Court requested staff to continue follow‑up with TAC and the design/oversight firms and to prepare recommendations should the county need to seek replacement roofing or additional bonds.
