Summary

Staff told commissioners two round tables in the pavilion are broken, and discussed purchasing rectangular tables for easier handling, capacity estimates (25 tables ≈ 200 people), and the need to coordinate repairs with facilities and the fire marshal; no formal procurement was authorized at the work session.

County staff and commissioners reviewed recent pavilion events, inventory and maintenance needs at the Columbia County pavilion and Youth Building, and discussed options for repair or replacement.

A staff member reported two broken round tables in the pavilion and said several rectangular tables currently stored in the Youth Building are used for events. "There were 2 broken round ones in the pavilion," the staff member said, noting some tables might be repairable while others could need replacement.

Staff and commissioners discussed buying lighter rectangular plastic tables for easier handling and transport; they also noted current seating capacity estimates (25 tables can seat roughly 200 people) but said they would confirm official occupancy with the fire marshal. Commissioners asked staff to clear an inventory of tables and chairs, estimate replacement costs, and coordinate repairs with facilities and the fire marshal.

No formal procurement or budget approval occurred in the work session; staff was asked to return with repair estimates and inventory counts for a subsequent meeting.
