Spencer County magistrates discuss facility repairs, animal-shelter infestation and senior center drainage repairs
Summary
Magistrates reported a frozen A/C at the Multi-Purpose Community Action Center, a mouse infestation at the animal shelter following demolition of an old EMS house, and reviewed a $3,250 quote for drainage work at the Senior Citizens building; no final action taken on some maintenance items.
During committee reports and old-business discussion, magistrates described facilities issues requiring attention.
Buildings & Grounds reported a frozen air-conditioning unit at the Multi-Purpose Community Action Center; the judge temporarily shut off power. Animal shelter staff reported a mouse infestation attributed to demolition activities at the old EMS house; magistrates discussed shelving and metal storage bins as part of mitigation. The clerk clarified that she had not supervised work on the election equipment storage area and asked for adequate notice before work was done.
The court reviewed an RBK Enterprises quote for drainage behind the Community Action Center totaling $3,250 to excavate/install a drainage ditch and place rock to prevent erosion and foundation damage. The judge noted Road Department capacity would be limited while FEMA projects begin; no motion was recorded to immediately accept RBK's quote, though members discussed a 30-day completion expectation if contracted. Other routine maintenance items (fence-row cleanup at county farm, trailer removal) were discussed with no formal action recorded.
Magistrates asked county staff to help clarify responsibilities and timelines for repairs; several items will require follow-up, bids or scheduling.
