Work session: $37,500 PO sought for bridge rope work; commissioners plan town hall on Dallas Lodge and will monitor Little Tallapoosa River reservoir issue
Summary
Public works requested a $37,500 PO for StreamTech rope access on truss bridges and reported a $4,800 courthouse patching invoice; commissioners also discussed surplusing Dallas Lodge and agreed to hold a town hall, and directed staff to monitor Little Tallapoosa River/Union Creek Reservoir proposals and contact legislators.
Speaker 5 requested a purchase order for $37,500 to hire StreamTech for rope access on truss bridges scheduled for February. The request was noted for processing; Speaker 1 asked Lisa for the surplus items list so the county can post and dispose of vehicles and equipment no longer needed.
Separately, Speaker 3 said a vendor would perform courthouse patching with an invoice of about $4,800; commissioners discussed covering the work from discretionary funds (examples discussed: $5,000–$7,500 set‑asides) and considered PO and purchase‑order procedures to ensure proper tracking.
On surplus property, Speaker 5 reported Dallas Lodge may be a maintenance burden and proposed liquidating it subject to returning a cornerstone to the lodge; commissioners agreed to hold a town‑hall meeting in February to solicit nonprofit interest and public comment before moving ahead with surplus action.
Speaker 1 raised the Little Tallapoosa River / Union Creek Reservoir matter and urged commissioners to send representatives and contact legislators to protect local water rights; the board agreed staff should coordinate outreach and monitoring.
No formal votes were taken; several items were sent to the consent list or deferred to February for formal action.
