Chris, the county maintenance supervisor, told the Iroquois County Management Services Committee on Jan. 5 that a recently installed HVAC unit serving three zones at the health department failed and required a new zone panel to restore heating and cooling service. "Long story short here, a few weeks ago, they were having issues ... it just wasn't even remotely doing what it was supposed to do," he said, and later added, "They're all good to go again."

Chris said Webber's tested the unit, identified a faulty panel and installed a replacement. He also reported that Hasty Locksmith changed locks at the health department and that all locks at the animal control facility were replaced in December for unspecified reasons.

At the courthouse, Chris said he reattached decorative wooden panels behind Judge Martucci's chair and that Valley Security — a vendor that services penal institutions — spent a day fixing sliding jail doors that were sticking. "They came down in December ... and took care of all the issues they were having," he said.

Chris told the committee the jail still uses two washers and two dryers nearing nine years of service; a new washer and dryer acquired with a Granger grant about 18 months ago are in storage and may be put into service when a unit fails. He reported the county handled six snow events in the past month and used 44 bags of salt — "that's 19 short of a pallet" — and keeps magnesium chloride–based ice melt for courthouse steps.

Committee members asked a few follow‑up questions, including about unidentified trucks and temporary structures seen in county fields; the exchange ended with no definitive explanation for those field structures. The maintenance report closed with Chris offering to answer further questions.
