Council unanimously approves contractor hire to investigate and separate barn electrical services
Summary
Council approved a 4-0 motion to hire an electrical contractor to investigate and then install separate electrical services for the community barn and DCHS connection after members noted signs of potential panel failure and safety risk.
Council members raised safety and reliability concerns about a single panel on Ada County/DCHS property that currently feeds the community barn and adjacent facilities.
Garry Stanislaw moved "to hire an electrical contractor to investigate what needs to be done and then install whatever new electrical services are needed to upgrade and separate those services;" Paul Powell seconded. The motion passed 4-0. Council members said separating services would reduce shared‑service risk and address signs of potential failure noted by staff.
No contractor name, cost estimate or timeline was provided at the meeting; council directed staff to begin an investigative process and return with recommendations.
