Summary

After reconsideration, the board approved replacing the jail’s walk-in freezer based on quotes presented by Maintenance Director Rod Steel; Chair David Hodges recorded a dissenting vote.

The board reconsidered a prior action on the jail walk-in freezer and heard quotes for repair versus replacement from Maintenance Director Rod Steel, who recommended replacement. Commissioner Scott Wirtz moved to approve replacement of the walk-in freezer, supported by Commissioner Larry Tiejema; the motion carried by voice vote and the minutes record Chair David Hodges as dissenting.

The transcript notes that Rod Steel presented quotes for repair and replacement and recommended replacement, but it does not include dollar amounts for the quotes.
