Board members discussed delays and concrete defects on the county jail construction project after a member asked for a status update.

A board member said contractors have paused work for three to four months to assess and plan repairs for multiple areas of defective concrete. The contractor has proposed replacing the bad sections — described in the meeting as "50 or 60" places that require work — but weather and logistics have pushed the timeline.

"I think, June or July completion. Obviously, that ain't gonna happen," the board member said, reporting the contractor's assessment. County officials told the board they expect work to resume when weather allows and that completion could be pushed into the fall or, if all goes well, by the end of the year.

No new completion date or binding revised schedule was presented at the meeting, and board members indicated they will request further updates from the contractor and monitor the repair plan and timeline.
