Summary

At the July 6 meeting commissioners were alerted that the jail's air conditioning failed over the Fourth of July weekend, discussed reappointing ambulance board members, and heard that District 2 suffered a bridge failure with a $150,000 repair quote; a resolution on bridge funding will be on the next agenda.

In new business, Kevin Garrett reported the county jail air conditioning went out over the Fourth of July weekend and asked who should be contacted; commissioners suggested lining up a contractor in advance and using fans temporarily until repairs could be arranged.

Commissioners discussed District #1 and District #3 Ambulance Board appointments whose one-year terms are up and said they would reappoint current members if they are willing to continue serving. Separately, District #2 reported a bridge failure following recent weather; staff provided a repair estimate of $150,000 with beams to be supplied by the county. Commissioners directed staff to present a Resolution at the next meeting to approve funds for the repair.

The board adjourned at 11:26 a.m. after taking no immediate action on the bridge other than to prepare a resolution for a future meeting.
