Supervisor Grady reports county infrastructure, Brookside and generator updates
Summary
Supervisor Grady updated the Kenosha County Board on several county infrastructure projects, including shingle roof replacement at Brookside, phased work at the correctional center, pending backup generators, planned power shutdowns affecting Bradford High School during summer, underground fuel-tank rebids, and parks communications fiber work.
Supervisor Grady gave a report summarizing recent and upcoming county infrastructure and operations work, including completion of a roof replacement at Brookside, progress on a four-phase correctional center project, and planned backup-generator installations.
Grady said a shingle roof replacement at Brookside has been completed. He described the Kenosha County Correctional Center (KCDC) project as four phases, with the third phase expected to be completed next month and the fourth phase anticipated in April–May of the year referenced in the meeting transcript.
Grady said one backup generator is ready at the Kenosha County Center (KCC), awaiting the unit’s arrival, and another, more complex generator installation at Brookside will require a temporary power-grid shutdown for the area around Washington Road and 30th Street. He said the work was scheduled on a weekend during summer break and noted Bradford High School would be without power during the outage.
Other items in Grady’s report included rebidding underground gasoline and fuel tanks for the Public Safety Building because initial bids exceeded expectations, golf simulators operating at Bridal (with ongoing leagues), highway patrol vacancies, generally positive feedback about snow response, and planned communications-fiber work at Old Settlers Park and the comfort center pending Department of Natural Resources documentation.
Grady noted the board would discuss a Silver Lake paddleboard and kayak rental item later in the meeting; that lease and vendor agreement was presented as Resolution 84 during the same session.
