During the Sumner County general-operations meeting, staff provided updates on several construction and facilities projects.

Speaker 1 said Oak Grove Fire Department has outstanding punch-list and warranty items; staff and architect plan a walkthrough tomorrow and the fire chief will walk through with the contractor on Thursday to confirm corrections before final sign-off. Speaker 1 said the county is completing a construction contract and expects it to be finalized by the end of the week.

The archives HVAC installation was reported as complete. On the Millersville EMS station, Kenny Meyer reported the project is at a standstill awaiting state approval; once approvals are in place, construction should move quickly. For the Cotton Town flood mitigation project, Meyer said the county is obtaining an appraisal on a property the county is considering purchasing to advance mitigation work. A separate potential property purchase (a church) was discussed; staff said the county is not currently purchasing the church and is only pursuing the house referenced in the budget request.

Commissioners asked for clearer deliverables, timelines and milestone (Gantt) charts for capital projects; one commissioner moved to require reports listing completed deliverables and next steps for each project. The meeting did not record final approvals or budget transfers for these projects in the provided transcript.
