Sheriff asks board to refer LED lighting and courtroom AC replacement to PBC; board refers both projects
Summary
Sheriff Josh Hill requested the board send two projects to the Public Building Commission: conversion of courthouse and sheriff's department lighting to LEDs (Ameren covers hardware) and an emergency courtroom air-conditioning replacement; the board referred both projects to the PBC.
The board approved the Sheriff's June 2025 Report and then heard from Sheriff Josh Hill, who requested that two projects be sent to the Public Building Commission (PBC). The first project would convert courthouse and Sheriff's Department lighting to LED fixtures; Sheriff Hill said Ameren would cover the cost of the hardware and the county would cover installation costs. The second project was an emergency replacement of the main courtroom's air conditioning unit, which the Sheriff said could not be repaired.
Board members asked for competitive bids on the HVAC work; Jeff Rehkemper specifically asked whether three bids could be obtained, and the Sheriff emphasized the emergency nature of the replacement. The board referred both projects to the PBC on a motion by Wes Pourchot, second by Jeff Rehkemper; roll call vote was 5 ayes, 0 nays.
