Woods County staff reports facilities nearly complete; open pasture rooms item carried to next week

County staff reported that maintenance work on county facilities is about 95% complete, with suspended ceilings and air-conditioning ducts in place but HVAC units and return plenums still to be set. Parking work was described as “sorted,” and countertops and window sills were expected to be completed this week; staff said they hoped to complete remaining work over the Thanksgiving weekend.

A county official summarized the status: “Maintenance about 95% complete.” The update noted remaining deliveries and installation tasks but did not set a new completion date beyond the hope of finishing over the holiday.

On the agenda item described as "open pasture rooms," a speaker reported contact from Greg Baker and said the county had not yet received materials; the board took no action and placed the item back on the agenda for the next meeting.

Under new business, a commissioner said they would re-advertise a county-owned scraper that had missed a prior advertising window after repairs. A later brief exchange questioned whether purchases such as fire trucks and related grants should be treated as ordinary business for the meeting’s purposes; no formal decision on that procedural question was recorded.

No votes or fiscal approvals were recorded for the facilities update, the pasture-rooms item, or the equipment resale notice during the meeting.
