Prison board approves bills, reviews elevator, windows and insurance claim
Summary
The Lawrence County Prison Board approved payments of routine vendor bills and discussed facility repairs: windows have been fixed, elevator parts are being shipped with an expected short completion window, and staff will coordinate insurance follow-up for damage to the 'salad bowl' feature.
The Lawrence County Prison Board voted to approve the payment of bills at its May 20 meeting after a short discussion of routine vendors and recent repair work.
Warden (staff) referenced work by Bennick/Bennick Brothers on preventive maintenance and a field project. The board approved the bills by roll-call vote; the clerk recorded affirmative votes from Commissioner Senaga, Sheriff Orchinski, Controller Preston, Commissioner Kennedy, Judge Cox and Commissioner Lambert.
Board members reviewed several facility repair updates. The chair said the windows were repaired. On the elevator, the chair and warden said parts were ordered and the vendor expected completion within a few days after arrival; the vendor contract included a two-month performance period with a stated $1,000-per-day penalty if work extended beyond that window, the warden said.
Regarding damage to the facility 'salad bowl,' the warden said parts had been ordered and staff would take photographs and present them to the insurer, which requested photographic documentation before confirming coverage. The chair said he would follow up with adjusters and asked that staff keep the board informed.
The board approved the bills and moved on to other agenda items and scheduled follow-up on repairs.
