Supervisors consider outside review for courthouse façade, steps and lighting

Humboldt County Board of Supervisors · April 28, 2025

Summary

Board members discussed deterioration of courthouse front steps and facade and agreed to invite a specialist to assess repairs and provide estimates to guide long‑term restoration work.

Supervisors raised concerns about the courthouse front steps, façade deterioration and errant lighting behavior, and discussed bringing in an outside specialist to assess structural and aesthetic repairs.

One supervisor suggested inviting Greg Wild — who attends state association meetings — to visit the courthouse and provide a professional opinion and, if appropriate, an estimate for repairs. The board agreed that getting expert advice would help them decide whether to pursue local contractors or a specialist for longer‑lasting remediation.

The discussion also referenced recurring problems with moisture, bulging and flaking on the steps and the need to find a solution that would last. Staff were asked to schedule a site visit and coordinate a time for a consultant to inspect the building.
