Building & Grounds update: Clerk of Courts relocation, cameras, Cook Tower lead/asbestos testing
Summary
Building & Grounds Manager Jason Patchet updated the board on the Clerk of Courts relocation (move scheduled March 16), proposals for additional security cameras at the former Public Defender’s office and the Veterans Garage, a repaired Justice Center drain leak, discussions about HVAC responsibility at Cook Tower, and lead/asbestos testing with remediation plans at Cook Tower.
Jason Patchet delivered the Building & Grounds weekly update after the board recessed. He told commissioners the relocation of the Clerk of Courts is scheduled for March 16 and that a proposal for additional cameras at the prior Public Defender’s office was received for $4,790.55; commissioners agreed to use funds from the Vandemark Building Fund to pay for the work.
Patchet also reported a proposal for cameras and other security devices at the Veterans Garage priced at $6,998.75; he said the current purchase-order balance of $9,149.78 would cover those devices and additional interior materials. He said he would obtain quotes for Veterans Garage signage.
Patchet reported a repaired leak in a Justice Center drain pipe. The commissioners and Patchet discussed HVAC responsibilities for Cook Tower; Patchet said he would follow up with owner Tony Collins and Bricker Graydon counsel Mark Evans to determine whether the county will be responsible for VAV boxes and ductwork from the main air handlers under the lease.
Patchet said lead and asbestos testing at Cook Tower detected contamination; the board discussed abatement and remediation plans and an air-quality test that will be completed after renovations to ensure employee safety.
Patchet also provided a Government Center project update, noting an electrical change for HVAC controls of $559.99 that would leave a balance of $383.69 in the electrical allowances; commissioners agreed to proceed with the change. They also reviewed parking plans and fencing and expressed agreement to support the Agricultural Society's state capital-funding application for an agriculture building.
Chris Widener joined the meeting during the update. The minutes do not provide verbatim quotes or detailed schedules for remediation, lease revisions or camera installations; they record actions and dollar figures that will be fleshed out in procurement and follow-up work.
