Commissioners discuss demolition, RWE wind project, courthouse HVAC and staffing in special session
Summary
At a Jan. 26 special session, commissioners said demolition at the old hospital will begin in February, reported progress with RWE's wind project in Smith County, and moved forward with an HVAC courthouse project with FEMA interest. Several staffing updates and equipment deliveries were noted.
In a special session at 1:29 p.m., Commissioner Jim Gwennap said demolition at the county's old hospital site will begin in February. Gwennap also reported he had made contact with RWE and that the company's wind project is moving forward in Smith County.
Commissioners said supervisory roles in county departments have been filled; Travis Story will return to the road department to serve as supervisor. The board discussed an HVAC update to the courthouse — an item FEMA said it would like to see addressed — and noted EMPG funding is no longer available for some projects. Communications Director Allen Lanus said he has hired an additional communications employee; the sheriff's office expected dash and body cameras next week. The board scheduled the next department head meeting for May 18 at 1:30 p.m.
