Tazewell County board approves purchase of new chairs for Justice Center community room
Summary
The board approved B-26-11 to replace community-room chairs as part of a capital improvement refresh; members discussed budget variances, potential higher costs next year and repurposing old chairs to other county offices.
The Tazewell County Board voted June 24 to approve B-26-11, a recommendation to purchase replacement chairs for the Justice Center community room as part of a broader refresh that includes new carpeting and paint.
Mindy, the county staff member presenting the item, said the chair purchase is budgeted within the county's capital improvement plan and noted the vendor offers a 12-year parts-and-labor warranty. Board members discussed a roughly $420,000 variance in current capital projects—several projects are under budget overall—and some said delaying the purchase could increase costs next year.
The board also discussed repurposing the existing chairs. Mindy said county offices have already expressed interest in used chairs and that the finance office will track and inventory any redistributed furniture.
A motion to approve B-26-11 was made by Mr. Harris and seconded by Mr. Hopkins; the motion passed on a voice vote.
Procedural note: the transcript records voice votes and statements of "motion passes" but does not include a roll-call tally for this item.
