Supervisors approve emergency repairs after ANF building flooding; county to delegate emergency repair authority to administrator
Summary
Board adopted a resolution finding an emergency to repair damage from a plumbing failure and delegated authority to the county administrator to order repairs without giving notice for bids.
The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to adopt a resolution declaring an emergency and authorizing the county administrator to order necessary repairs without formal bidding after a sprinkler/plumbing failure caused significant flooding at the ANF building.
Lede: County staff told the board a sprinkler head failure flooded floors of the ANF building and the parking garage; a restoration firm was engaged immediately and the board approved an emergency resolution to allow repair work to proceed without the usual competitive bidding timelines.
Nut graf: The resolution (No. 28‑25) was adopted under California Public Contract Code section 22050 and county ordinance provisions cited in the agenda item; the board delegated signing and repair authority to the county administrator so restoration work could move forward quickly.
