County authorizes bid package to remove jail sally‑port roll-up door and add ventilation after freezer failures
Summary
Commissioners approved sending a bid package to replace an unused, thin-metal sally port roll-up door with double doors and to add a fan system to address heat that has caused walk-in freezer compressor failures at the jail.
Wahkiakum County commissioners on July 21 authorized Building & Planning staff (Dave Hicks) to prepare and send out a bid package to remove the jail sally‑port roll-up door, replace it with double doors and include a fan system to improve ventilation. The board recorded unanimous approval; the motion was carried M/S/A by Commissioners Letham and Tischer.
The action responds to operational problems: meeting minutes state the walk‑in freezer has created heat issues, causing freezer compressors to fail, and that the existing sally port door is thin metal, uninsulated and no longer used for vehicles. The bid package step begins procurement for the repairs and ventilation improvements.
