Commissioners clear jail chiller project to proceed; outside generator cost estimates presented
Summary
After a project update from the jail captain and a partial grant award, commissioners authorized Captain Sterrett to move forward with the jail chiller project. Staff also presented estimates for an outside replacement generator (diesel: $105,539; natural gas: $182,524) and a $4,988 quote to connect new IT AC units to remote controls.
Captain Sterrett briefed the board during a staff meeting about the county jail’s new chiller project and an associated partial grant award to offset costs; the commissioners confirmed they want him to move forward with the project this year. The meeting minutes record the board’s direction to proceed but do not provide a final project budget or completion date.
Adam Miller discussed related facility and equipment items: a $4,988 quote from Automated Logic to connect new IT air-conditioning units to centralized controls for remote monitoring and control, which the commissioners approved to pursue once installation locations are finalized. Miller also said the county will retest the current fuel tank in April; if a new outside generator is required, County staff listed an estimated price of $105,539 for a diesel unit and $182,524 for a natural-gas unit. The minutes note potential parking impacts for an outside unit and that the sheriff must approve any parking changes.
