Building & Grounds committee sends annex roof final payment to full board, debates tree trimming and jail plumbing repairs
Summary
After the insurance discussion the committee met as Building & Grounds: members moved the annex roof final payment ($43,550) to the full board, discussed a $5,950 tree‑trimming quote to be paid from liability pending counsel opinion, and reviewed jail plumbing repair estimates (~$10,620) with a plan to budget non‑emergent work next fiscal year.
The Pike County Building & Grounds Committee on Monday forwarded several maintenance and payment items to the full county board, including a final payment for an annex roof and proposals for tree trimming and jail plumbing repairs.
Committee members reviewed unpaid bills and an application for final payment on the annex roof project, which a member said has a remaining balance of about $43,550. A motion to send the final payment to the full board for approval and to charge it to the liability fund was seconded and moved to the full board.
Members also discussed limbs dropping in the courthouse square as a liability risk and reviewed a tree‑trimming quote of $5,950. The committee moved to send the tree work to the full board for approval to pay from the liability fund, pending the state's attorney’s opinion.
The committee heard estimates for jail plumbing repairs. A smaller immediate repair (pod flush assemblies) was listed around $4,791; a larger code‑compliance plumbing job was estimated at $10,620. Committee members said they prefer budgeting non‑emergent work into the next fiscal year while reserving emergency authority if repairs threaten inmate housing or federal inmate revenue.
Finally, members agreed to release an open bid packet to obtain multiple roof repair quotes across county buildings and to return bid responses for the next meeting. The committee approved sending unpaid bills totaling $20,415.77 (with $1,975 in paid bills included for a total of $20,612.82) to the full board and then adjourned at about 6:29 p.m.
Tom (committee chair) and other committee members made and seconded motions on these items; recorded roll‑call vote counts were not specified in the committee transcript and will appear in full‑board minutes when the actions are taken up for approval.
