County facilities director says current staff can deliver $5M program but may need supervisors if work increases
Summary
Facilities staff told the board the department can deliver roughly $5 million of projects per year with current staff, but recommended adding maintenance supervisors or contracted help if the county increases the program beyond that level.
Commissioners pressed facilities staff on whether the department had operational capacity to complete a sustained $5 million annual capital program. David, who spoke for facilities, said the department is "pretty maxed" but that he is comfortable executing $5,000,000 of projects a year with current staff; if the volume increases the county would need to evaluate adding supervisors or contracted project management.
A commissioner suggested pairing any staffing additions with the forthcoming facilities analysis so the board can return to the issue with a concrete list of duties for any new position. David agreed and said the department will come back with refined staffing requests if the assessment shows more capacity is needed.
