Commissioners hear updates on jail walkthrough, Community Service Building remodel and surplus sales
Summary
County staff reported a scheduled walkthrough of the jail project, progress on the Community Service Building remodel including demo and upcoming blacktop work, and that a mortuary item was listed on GovDeals with local outreach to funeral homes.
Jamie, identified by first name in the meeting record, briefed commissioners on several facilities and procurement matters. Jamie said a walkthrough for the jail project is scheduled for Wednesday to allow additional contractors to inspect the site and potentially join the bid process. "It's gonna be all the clock on Wednesday," Jamie said, adding staff hope more contractors will attend the second walkthrough.
Jamie also described recent work on the Community Service Building (the former health department) and said the upstairs remodeling is currently in demolition; floor treatments are being removed and some walls will be reconstructed. Jamie estimated the project timeline at roughly eight weeks with about one week of demolition completed.
The meeting record shows staff repurposed an old flagpole from the sheriff's office and relocated it to the health district offices to display the American and interstate flags. Jamie reported a mortuary item authorized for county sale is listed on GovDeals; staff are staggering listings to avoid overwhelming pickups and have reached out to local funeral homes to gauge interest before finalizing sales.
Jamie said there was a pre-construction meeting with Martin Enterprise, the contractor awarded paving work for the Community Service Building, and that staff expect to learn a start date after today's meeting. The session closed after routine business and a motion to adjourn.
