Board authorizes sealed bids to replace Senior Center kitchen after surprise health inspection
Summary
Interim Senior Center Director Brittney Dailey reported two violations found in a surprise health inspection; the board unanimously voted to solicit sealed bids to replace flooring, work surfaces and stainless-steel equipment and discussed using the Inheritance fund to pay costs, with a required kitchen shutdown during remodeling.
Interim Senior Center Director Brittney Dailey told the Butler County Board of Supervisors that a surprise health inspection on the Senior Center found two violations, both corrected immediately. The inspection flagged priority issues with floor tiles, cabinetry, and work surfaces.
Dailey said Aging Partners does not have funds to cover the work and suggested use of the county’s Inheritance Fund. The board voted unanimously (mover Bob Coufal, second Jan Sypal) to solicit sealed bids to replace flooring, work surfaces and stainless-steel equipment, in accordance with the health-inspection requirements. The project will require shutting down the Senior Center kitchen during remodeling; Brookstone of David City volunteered to help provide meals for shut-ins during that period.
Why it matters: the health-inspection findings triggered an immediate need to remediate food‑service surfaces and flooring to meet code and maintain meal services to seniors; establishing a competitive sealed‑bid process begins the procurement and budgeting timeline.
Next steps: county staff will solicit sealed bids per the board’s authorization and return contract recommendations to the board for approval.
