Finance committee orders licensed contractor inspection of Health & Human Services roof after leak reports
Summary
Following staff reports of interior leaks and a maintenance inspection that identified multiple problem areas, the finance committee authorized a bonded, licensed contractor to inspect and price repairs or replacement for the HHS roof.
After staff reported interior leaks at the Ashland County Health and Human Services (HHS) building, the finance committee voted to have a licensed, bonded roofing contractor inspect the roof and provide repair or replacement cost estimates.
Committee members reviewed photographs and a brief on‑site assessment. One presenter said the building’s roof is roughly 20 years old and that photos show shingles lifting at several places; a county maintenance worker who climbed onto the roof told staff the damage was worse than visible from the ground. "He said it's really bad," a staff member reported.
Why it matters: Committee members said prompt action is needed to stop ongoing water infiltration that is beginning to damage interior finishes and could accelerate larger repairs if left unaddressed. Members asked that any contractor be licensed and bonded for county work.
The committee passed a motion to have staff arrange for a licensed, bonded contractor to inspect the HHS roof and submit a remediation or replacement estimate. The committee asked staff to prioritize a temporary seal or emergency repairs if the contractor recommends immediate short‑term work to stop leaks.
Ending: Staff will solicit a local licensed contractor to inspect and provide a quote; committee requested the contractor be bonded and to provide an estimated timeline for repair or replacement.
