Courthouse workplace-safety review prompted by mold analysis; county approves $2,542 AC unit
Summary
Presenters Ted Godemann and Steve Frederick brought a mold analysis and urged the County Safety Committee to review Nebraska Department of Labor guidance; the board approved a $2,542 quote to replace an assessor's office heating/cooling unit and will contact contractors for a courthouse review.
Ted Godemann and Steve Frederick asked the Richardson County Board of Commissioners to review workplace-safety resources provided by the Nebraska Department of Labor and presented a mold analysis report that had been conducted by a courthouse employee.
The presenters recommended the County Safety Committee consider the state guidance. Meeting minutes show the board said it would contact contractors to possibly have a courthouse review performed. Separately, Jones Air Conditioning submitted a quote of $2,542.00 to replace a heating/cooling unit in the County Assessor’s Office; Commissioner Campbell moved to approve the purchase, the motion was seconded by Commissioner Karas and approved on a unanimous roll-call vote.
The board also authorized a memo to all county departments asking that purchases be delayed through April 2026 to assist with cash flow. No contractor or remediation plan for mold was approved at the meeting; the board indicated further review would follow.
