Renville County pursues courtroom electrical, carpet upgrades and authorizes debris removal at old hospital
Summary
The Board approved an estimate for courtroom electrical and lighting upgrades and agreed to submit projects to the Court Facilities Grant (75/25 cost share, deadline May 31, 2026). It also approved a $35,000 contract to remove debris from the old hospital; DEQ will manage asbestos abatement funded by a Brownfields grant.
The Board approved an estimate from Nett's Electric to update courtroom lighting and add electrical receptacles under courtroom desks; the minutes note that the projects can be submitted to the Court Facilities Grant program for a 75/25 cost share and that the application deadline is May 31, 2026. Custodian Chad Schmidt also informed the Board of the need to replace a water tank and a chemical tank in the courthouse boiler room, though the minutes do not include a replacement estimate.
Separately, the Board approved a $35,000 proposal from Kingdom Builders to remove debris from the old hospital. The Department of Environmental Quality will proceed with asbestos abatement after debris removal, and the county noted a Brownfields grant will cover asbestos-abatement costs. The board voted unanimously on both the courthouse electrical estimate and the debris-removal contract.
