Carroll County reports completion of LED upgrades, solar panels due in December; Phase 2 Courthouse tower review requested

Speaker 4 (project representative) told the board that Phase 1 of the county's energy-services contract is effectively complete for LED upgrades. "All work is complete," Speaker 4 said, noting additional cell fixtures for the detention center were completed on 11/5. The speaker said solar racks and roof panels are expected to arrive this month and "we'll install the panels in December." He credited a staff member named Chris for support.

On utilities and remaining work, Speaker 4 said the pool building is awaiting a transformer upsizing; the team is coordinating to schedule that work and expected it to happen within ‘‘the next, hopefully, 2 weeks.'' Water-conservation controller work at the detention center is roughly half finished: "the controllers are in the cells and are around 50% complete." Building-envelope work (insulation, door seals) began and was expected to finish in about three weeks but could be delayed by the Thanksgiving holiday.

Speaker 4 also asked the board to schedule a follow-up session on Phase 2 of the Courthouse Innovation/Clock Tower project to review scope and pricing. "We'd like to request a new session in a week" to walk the board through what the tower work will entail, he said; the presiding officer asked staff to check the calendar and arrange timing by text.

No budget figures, contract numbers, or formal vote actions on the project appear in the transcript excerpt. The report contains progress status and scheduling requests; any fiscal approvals or procurement steps would need confirmation from the county's procurement or finance records.
