Summary

Committee members were updated on a Tuesday crossover to cooling, recent chiller repairs at the governmental center, a repaired health department generator, an assessor office remodel slated for bid by May 14, and ongoing window and elevator contract work.

County facilities staff updated the Property Committee on multiple courthouse and county-building items during the April 10 meeting.

Wesley said the facility crossover from heating to cooling is scheduled for Tuesday next week. Staff also reported repairs to a governmental center chiller (leaks addressed) and that a contractor will be on site Tuesday to top off refrigerant and verify operation.

Staff said the Treasury Department staff have returned to downstairs offices while bulletproof glazing for a security project is in production and awaiting a delivery date. The assessor’s office remodel is being prepared for bid and staff expect to advertise no later than May 14 with a phased move-in planned for mid-August.

The health department generator’s radiator was repaired after a brief power outage; staff said the unit should serve for another five to 10 years. Staff described ongoing efforts to consolidate elevator service contracts to save costs, though obtaining existing contract documents has been time-consuming. Window framing is in tooling at the manufacturer and a project manager has been assigned to coordinate the specialty frames and separate glazing contractor.

Several routine grounds and close-out items were reported: brickwork punch-list items are being cleared and crews continue downtown cleanup and seeding ahead of summer. Staff also noted free apprenticeship classes for maintenance personnel in trades such as electrical and plumbing.

The meeting closed after routine motions and no additional committee action was taken on these informational items.
