Supervisors discuss building repairs, cold storage, Sourcewell purchasing and spoil management
Summary
Worth County staff updated supervisors on roof and siding work, sewer and fueling‑station permitting, plans for a cold‑storage building, Sourcewell cooperative procurement and options for stockpiling roughly 2,000 yards of spoil from a campground project. No final major contracts were approved; several items will move to workshops or follow‑up.
County staff updated the board on multiple capital and procurement matters, including building repairs, a potential cold‑storage building, cooperative purchasing through Sourcewell and options for spoil removal from a campground project.
Agency official (S6) reported ongoing roofing and siding work and interior plumbing at the county office building, noted a door addition on the east side, and described sewer service preparations and required grading for a planned fueling station. Staff said permitting remains in process for the fueling station.
On cold storage, staff discussed a simple storage structure (concrete versus gravel floor, ventilation, open interior) and possible shared use by transit, public health and other county programs; supervisors agreed to schedule a workshop to develop specifications.
Department head (S7) described Sourcewell, a cooperative buying group, and recommended signing up to access discounted pricing for equipment; staff cited a recent $15,000 savings on a truck chassis purchased through the cooperative. The board discussed department registration and tax‑exempt paperwork.
Finally, staff and supervisors discussed options for removal or stockpiling of approximately 2,000 cubic yards of spoil from the campground project. Staff said most contractors will be responsible for spoil disposal, but the county is exploring nearby stockpile sites if needed.
