Properties Committee advances keycard and CMH network work, flags Torzewski pool delays and building-closure policy questions
Summary
JT Anderson updated the committee on a keycard project at the former DHHS building (committee agreed to proceed under prior authority), a Cat 6 cabling upgrade for CMH (sealed bids forthcoming and recommendation expected Feb. 26), Torzewski pool contractor delays and possible bond action, and a building-closure policy discussion that produced no motion.
JT Anderson, Lapeer County’s Building & Grounds/Parks Director, told the Properties Committee on Feb. 12 that a keycard upgrade is needed at the former DHHS building and that because of a previously approved motion only a signature by Chairman Zender or County Administrator Moses Sanzo is required to proceed; the committee agreed to move forward.
Anderson said a Cat 6 cabling upgrade is necessary for phones and systems supporting Community Mental Health (CMH). Per county procurement policy, sealed bids are being sought; Anderson said a recommendation will go to the CMH board and then back to Properties for final approval, with a recommendation expected at the Feb. 26 Properties meeting because of the project’s time constraints.
On the Torzewski pool project, Anderson described nearly yearlong delays caused by inconsistent performance from the pool contractor and said the committee discussed pulling the contractor’s bond; Anderson will contact the general contractor with that possibility and provide updates.
Human Resources Director Natasha Kugler presented a draft building-closure policy intended to formalize existing practices. Committee members debated whether employees on PTO should receive returned PTO hours during a closure and raised potential union grievance issues; the committee elected not to take a motion on the policy at this meeting.
Finance (Jacky Bennett) provided a brief update on ARPA-funded projects and contract contingencies; the committee began reviewing a household hazardous waste (HHW) bid but deferred further review to the Feb. 26 meeting due to time constraints.
The committee adjourned at 2:32 p.m.
