Summary

Commissioner Ed Duskie told the board he inspected a cement apron around the Health Department and concluded its lack of slope is causing water to run back toward the basement.

At the June 16 meeting Commissioner Ed Duskie reported visiting the Health Department and examining a recently placed cement apron. "I don't think it is sloped and that's what is causing the water to run back to the basement," Duskie said, identifying a potential drainage and building envelope problem that may require corrective action.

The commissioners did not record a formal directive or funding decision in the transcript; the remark was presented as an operational concern that may lead to follow-up. The County Clerk and relevant department staff were present during the meeting, and follow-up inspections or repair estimates would be needed to confirm the scope and cost of corrective work.
