Building & Grounds reports dispatch upgrades, contract change and contained jail waterline break

Feb 3, 2026

Facilities staff reported dispatch-area improvements, a vendor switch for towel and soap dispensers to Kimberly-Clark, installation costs within budget (about $4,000), and a flush-valve fracture in the jail that released roughly 1,000 gallons but caused no damage; staff will train jail personnel on water-meter shutoffs.

The full story

Facilities staff (S2) told the Marquette County Property Committee on Jan. 6, 2026 that Building & Grounds has completed work in the dispatch area and replaced roughly 125 fixtures, and that the county switched towel and soap-dispensing contracts to Kimberly-Clark to realize savings. S2 said one fabric purchase for a counter project came in at "a little over a $4,000 in material," which the speaker said fit within the existing budget.
