Summary

Buildings & Grounds reported progress on capital projects: a variable frequency drive project is roughly 80% complete, Air Handler 12 design is finishing, and work to reconfigure Public Health begins. Committee approved a tree removal request for First Baptist Church.

Joe Reed presented the Buildings and Grounds report and the committee accepted it as information.

Reed said the variable frequency drive project is "about 80% complete, should be done by the end of next week," and that Air Handler 12 (Chambers) design is finishing and will soon be put out to bid or solicited via a state contract. He reported the Public Health reconfigure work is starting and that the plan for a Public Defender office is waiting approval before proceeding.

The safety committee is drafting policies and signage and hopes to get parking lots relined; Reed noted paint does not stick to brand-new blacktop and the county plans to use yellow striping to stand out in snow. The committee approved a request to remove a pine tree for First Baptist Church with a replacement to be planted.
