Summary

Dawn St. Clair Davis told the committee she is seeking transparent bids for the nursing-home food services contract and identifying capital projects — including kitchen pipelining (~$30,000), water-tower painting (quotes $75,000–$95,000), HVAC study and a pump-house assessment — for the upcoming budget cycle.

Administrator Dawn St. Clair Davis told the committee she had posted a request for bids for dining services to ensure cost transparency and asked bidders to provide a pass‑through cost model plus a management fee so the county can see how dollars are allocated between food, labor and supplies.

Dawn also listed potential capital projects for next year, including an HVAC study, a structural assessment of the pump house, painting the water tower (previous quotes ranged from $60,000 last year to $75,000–$95,000 this year) and kitchen pipelining estimated around $30,000. She said she would bring back refined cost proposals and recommendations during the budget process so the board could consider awards by October.
