Commission directs immediate $15,000 roof repair for county jail, to use capital/offshore funds; larger repairs planned
County staff reported anticipated state trust ("offshore") receipts arriving in April and noted the county currently holds roughly $250,000 in that account. Commissioners reviewed a list of proposed jail repairs including a roof leak (proposal ~ $15,000), door and hinge replacements, and other maintenance items totaling roughly $81,000 in the discussion.

After discussion about safety and timing, commissioners directed staff to move forward with a $15,000 repair to fix the front-entry roof leak immediately and to prepare the appropriate budget amendment(s) and resolutions to allocate capital-improvement/offshore funds. Commissioners also asked staff and the sheriff's office to coordinate on bids and implementation plans for the remaining repairs (doors, hinges, and other items) and recommended scheduling a joint work session and a monthly facilities report on progress.

The commission asked that staff provide the details and resolutions at the next monthly meeting to authorize the work formally and to ensure funds are appropriated correctly.

Ending: Staff to prepare two resolutions (roof repair authorization and any required budget amendment) and to coordinate with maintenance and the sheriff's office on bids for additional work.
