Chambers County requests $69,335 to extend courthouse window waterproofing
Summary
County staff requested $69,335 to perform remedial waterproofing and caulking around exterior courthouse windows after testing repairs on a limited area held up in water tests; funding action was requested but no recorded vote appears in the transcript.
County maintenance staff asked commissioners for funding of $69,335 to extend remedial waterproofing work around exterior courthouse windows after repairs on the third floor north end held up in water tests.
Staff described prior work in which contractors removed old caulk, cleaned weeps and resealed the windows, then performed water testing on a limited area that held. The requested amount would fund the same corrective work around the remainder of the building.
Why this matters: the courthouse had reported leak issues affecting offices on the third floor — staff mentioned repairs near Tanya Hunt’s office and the judge’s office — and the county seeks to complete the building‑wide remediation to prevent further water intrusion.
The presenter asked the court for funding and moved for approval; the transcript records the funding request and ensuing brief discussion but does not include a recorded motion result in open session for this item. Staff said the work would be performed to the rest of the building following the same remedial steps that proved successful in testing.
