County to seek cost estimates after bulletproof windows fail in judge’s chambers
Summary
Photos showed failed bulletproof material in the judge’s chambers; the board reached consensus to have staff obtain estimates to brick up lower window areas while leaving a top pane for natural light, a solution the judge accepted as an alternative to prohibitively expensive full replacement.
The board reviewed photographs showing broken windows in the judge’s chambers and was told that the material intended to be bulletproof has failed.
The transcript records that full replacement with proper bulletproof glass would be prohibitively expensive. The judge agreed to alternative options if natural light remained available. After discussing several options, the board reached consensus to have staff obtain cost estimates to brick up the lower portions of the windows and leave a top pane similar to the doors at the back of the building that access the courts and the Sheriff’s office.
The board did not approve a specific repair contract at the meeting; staff were directed to collect estimates for board consideration.
