County to fund short-term on-site elevator technician at detention center, facilities say
Summary
Facilities told the advisory committee it has set aside $15,000 to fund an on-site elevator technician during peak hours to address repeat issues; the staffing plan covers morning shifts Wednesdays and Fridays at a billed rate of $350/hour.
Keith, speaking for facilities, told the committee that facilities agreed to pay for one month's attendance of a technician at the detention center to support elevator reliability. "We have a total of $15,000 set in place that will be drawn against at a billing rate of $350 an hour," he said, adding that the technician schedule would be 7:00 to 11:00 a.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Keith said he could not provide a current operational status of each elevator but confirmed that the technician arrangement is intended to provide on-site troubleshooting during busy times. The committee did not authorize further funding at the meeting beyond the $15,000 described; staff said they would report updates on elevator operability as vendor parts arrive and repairs are completed.
