Facilities sets aside $15,000 for on-site elevator technician at detention center
Summary
Facilities told the board it had arranged one month of technician coverage (Wednesdays and Fridays, 7–11 a.m.) for detention-center elevators, with $15,000 allocated and an hourly rate of $355, but said it did not have a current operational status to report for the elevators.
John Keith spoke for Facilities and said the department was asked to fund one month of on-site technician attendance at the detention center during its busiest times; he described coverage windows and the funding set aside. "We have a total of $15,000 set in place that would be drawn against at a billing rate of $355 an hour," Keith said. He added that technicians were expected to be on-site 7–11 a.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays per the arrangement.
Keith said he could not provide a current operational status of the elevators or whether the parts on order would make the one nonoperational elevator operable. His comments were framed as an operational update from Facilities rather than a formal action; the transcript does not show a separate motion tied solely to this staffing funding. The board thanked Keith and moved on to the next item.
Why it matters: temporary on-site technician coverage and a dedicated $15,000 allotment aim to reduce downtime at secure elevators in the detention complex, but the transcript leaves several operational details (current elevator condition and parts timeline) unconfirmed by Facilities in the meeting.
