Commission approves $24,655.46 estimate to seal courthouse brickwork and stop leaks
Summary
The commission approved a capital expenditure estimate of $24,655.46 to seal deteriorated courthouse brickwork and apply a roof coating and silicone sealant after staff reported leaks into upstairs offices. Commissioners said the work is needed for safety and building preservation.
The Covington County Commission approved an estimate of $24,655.46 to seal failing brickwork and apply a roof coating and silicone sealant to stop water infiltration into upstairs courthouse offices.
Philip (maintenance staff) told the commission the water was entering the building through deteriorated brick grout, not directly through the roof: "It's leaking upstairs where all the air conditioners are, and the guy that I had come look at it says it's going out through the brick, not through the roof itself." The packet included an itemized estimate for materials and labor; commissioners discussed funding it from capital improvements and approved the repair by motion and voice vote.
Commissioners said the work is overdue and necessary to prevent further interior damage; staff will provide a final resolution and scope once minor wording changes are incorporated.
