Order. 00:00:00
Roll call Non committee supervisor attendance has been taken. 00:00:02
Nobody here from the public that's got any comment. 00:00:08
I need the approval of the minutes from the September 4th 2025. 00:00:12
Meeting. 00:00:17
I'll make a motion to approve. 00:00:19
I'll second motion by. 00:00:20
Todd, seconded by Jeff. 00:00:22
Any additions or corrections to them? 00:00:25
Not all in favor say aye. 00:00:29
Aye. 00:00:31
Aye, opposed. 00:00:32
All right, that's carried. 00:00:34
On the master plan update. 00:00:36
So tomorrow we have our final walkthrough with the engineering staff. 00:00:39
The electrical engineer, the plumbing engineer and the HPC engineer. 00:00:44
That'll be tomorrow, and the last two buildings they need to look at is the courthouse and the jail. 00:00:48
And after that, I believe all their walkthroughs and interviews will be. 00:00:56
Pretty much complete. 00:01:00
And we just wait for their. 00:01:03
Results. 00:01:04
OK. 00:01:05
A little bit. I talked to him at the conference. He kind of felt comfortable that. 00:01:08
They were going to still come. 00:01:13
So the October meeting with their. 00:01:15
Plan OK. 00:01:18
That's what it sounded like, anyhow, So. 00:01:19
We'll see. Good. 00:01:23
All right, Clearview project update. 00:01:27
Bill, you want to show a few pictures? 00:01:32
Things are moving along. 00:01:37
Up there, the third floor is a little further ahead than the second floor. 00:01:39
Wrong one. 00:01:47
No doubt that was there nasty. There we go. This is this is the the 2nd floor here they're putting a lot of the. 00:01:49
The studs up. 00:01:55
Wiring is all going in. They're putting door frames in right now. 00:01:57
You can see the blocking in the walls for some of the things that need to be hung on the walls, they're just blocking the mounted 00:02:07
into. 00:02:10
That happens to be for cabinetry right there. 00:02:14
And there you can see that's a nurses station where you have a lower part. 00:02:19
That'd be like counter and then there'll be a header up on the top up there. 00:02:25
You can see they've already got their. 00:02:30
Pieces in for their can lights up there. What's going to hold the can lights in? 00:02:32
So that's all moving right along And then next few pictures will be the third floor where they've got a lot of the sheetrock in 00:02:37
already. 00:02:41
They're getting close to mudding and taping on that portion there. 00:02:48
Some of the the batting, you can see some of the batting in the center right there for insulating, for sound insulation for some 00:02:58
of the rooms and. 00:03:01
So that's all going on. A lot of plumbing stuff up in the ceiling is going on. 00:03:06
HVAC work up in the ceilings going on. 00:03:12
So a lot of activity, a lot going on. 00:03:14
I did not get a picture of it, but they did install the grease interceptor in the ground this week. Also. They dug the hole for 00:03:19
that and place that in the ground. 00:03:23
So the plumbers are working on getting that hooked in also. 00:03:27
For Clearview. 00:03:30
Yes. 00:03:32
They didn't have one there. 00:03:32
I don't know. I do believe they have one for their main kitchen, but this is for these kitchens in the households. Oh, it's a 00:03:38
separate. The kitchens in the households did not have one before. 00:03:42
I say they they should have, but they did not. 00:03:47
I see. 00:03:52
I think that was the last one gone. Yes, that's the last picture from there. 00:03:53
The construction bulletins have been kind of slow to come out. Catalyst our our construction manager has not been real happy with 00:03:58
Angus Young on that there. 00:04:02
Has been some discussions on that. 00:04:07
And I think. 00:04:10
That is going to get. 00:04:11
Speed it up here in the very near future because I said there was some unhappiness with. 00:04:13
Catalysts being able to keep all the contractors on schedule because they're lacking information from. 00:04:18
The architect. 00:04:24
So yeah. 00:04:27
I will say a catalyst is on top of that and keeping the architect. 00:04:29
Going and saying hey we need this information. 00:04:32
OK. 00:04:39
Now a lot of that stuff, John, and in that remodel job there. 00:04:41
They got to have all special stuff for them, people that are in there so they don't get hurt, right. The windows got to be yes, 00:04:47
they call it anti ligature, yes yeah. And the walls got to be. 00:04:52
Cushion or whatever so. 00:04:57
They are only cushioned in what they call a seclusion room. 00:05:00
Which would be very similar to our padded cells in the jail. 00:05:05
It has the padding on the wall and the door and the floor. 00:05:08
So there is a couple seclusion rooms that are being put in. 00:05:11
That blue drywall that you saw there, that is a. 00:05:16
It has a particular name to it, but it's a very high impact resistant drywall. It's different than regular drywall. 00:05:20
So any. 00:05:26
Areas for that residents will be in will have that versus. 00:05:27
Say like in a laundry room or in a nurses station where you do not have residents, which would be standard drywall. 00:05:33
But the blue stuff that you saw there is a high impact resistant drywall. 00:05:40
OK, so they're not going to be able to put their fists through it? 00:05:45
Well, I'm not gonna guarantee that, but it's it's not gonna crumble and shatter like current conventional drywall. If they do, 00:05:50
it's gonna hurt. 00:05:54
Yeah, I've been in. 00:05:59
I've been a newly remodeled places to in. 00:06:00
And I was. 00:06:03
I guess. 00:06:07
Disappointed a little bit because you would have thought they would have put furniture into that didn't have. 00:06:08
Pointed corners on it. Do you know if? 00:06:13
Doing that worth like. 00:06:16
I believe that was all part of their. I did not read the bid specs on the furniture but I know that there was special anti 00:06:18
ligature furniture that was being ordered for this project. 00:06:23
So in these behavioral health units you will have that. 00:06:29
You know all your rooms are going to have. 00:06:33
Those type of fixtures similar to what we have in the jail, you know, where you can't. 00:06:36
Put something over the top of it and be able to hang from it or or do things like that. 00:06:42
And their furniture will reflect all that also. 00:06:46
You know what time, but what type of door handles or knobs or lack thereof, All those things are all. 00:06:51
Built into a behavioral health unit like that. 00:06:56
It's almost a given when you go to one of those, when you go to one of those places that somebody's got bruises on. 00:07:00
From falling into something so. 00:07:06
Yeah. 00:07:09
All right. Any other questions on that? 00:07:13
Why is the third floor so much further ahead? I guess they were able to get in there sooner. 00:07:16
It's just the way that they were starting from the third down to the second. 00:07:20
Where they scheduled it. 00:07:24
Yeah. 00:07:25
But yeah, they the. 00:07:30
Construction manager really wants to be on target for this end of November. 00:07:32
Finish for the first. 00:07:37
Substantial completion, I mean, you might have some painting or it's moving some furniture in or stuff in December, but. 00:07:39
They would like it. 00:07:45
Pretty much completed by the end of November. 00:07:46
That is good. Is that what they were anticipating or? 00:07:50
What? What is movement date that they want? They do not want to move in until after January 1st. They do not want to move 00:07:53
residents right before the holidays. 00:07:57
Yeah, OK. And they're on schedule for that, huh? 00:08:01
Yes, good. 00:08:06
Are they taking applications and stuff? 00:08:07
For places in there too, then or. 00:08:10
That I don't know. 00:08:12
I guess that'd be a question for Ed from Clearview. 00:08:15
It's very good. 00:08:18
Any other questions? 00:08:20
OK, then we'll move on to the tornado damage update. 00:08:23
We're still waiting for our light pole replacement in Henry Dodge parking lot. I did reach out to kW Electric today. I did not get 00:08:27
a response back from them but. 00:08:31
Trying to find out where we're at with that. 00:08:37
We did hire Surefire Now to replace the damaged coils on the air conditioner units on the Henry Dodge roof. 00:08:41
That feed the CBRF up there. 00:08:50
Surefire will be replacing the coils on both of the rooftop units up there. 00:08:53
So we got that all arranged this morning. 00:08:58
And then? 00:09:02
The insurance estimate. 00:09:06
Just for repairing our. 00:09:07
Chiller on the courthouse roof. 00:09:09
Was 39,000 at the insurance company approved. 00:09:12
And that money we will get next year and we will apply that to the cost of the new chiller. 00:09:17
That you guys approved in the CIP plan for 400,000 for next year, so that 39,000? 00:09:25
Will go towards. 00:09:31
That. 00:09:32
Project. 00:09:33
And we will get that once the project is complete. 00:09:34
That's that will actually lower the cost of our. 00:09:37
Or chiller. That's when we were talking about. 00:09:40
Couple meetings ago about might as well get a. 00:09:43
Yes. 00:09:45
Yeah, nice. 00:09:46
So we're it's, it's a little over 39,000 that will get from the insurance company for that one, so. 00:09:47
So yeah, I mean you're talking, you know, 10% of the project is going to be covered by the insurance company, so. 00:09:56
No. 00:10:03
And that's all I got for a tornado. 00:10:06
OK. Those coils on the Henry Dodge yet they're replacing, is that covered by some insurance or? Yes, it is. We had originally just 00:10:09
looked at the one unit, the one to the West which was damaged more and. 00:10:16
When the insurance adjuster sent their people out to look at it, they. 00:10:24
Said we should replace. 00:10:28
The coils on both units. 00:10:30
So the insurance company did approve. 00:10:32
That, umm. 00:10:34
Good. 00:10:35
So give them credit for being honest and being, you know, 4th grade you they could have just looked the other way and done the one 00:10:38
and. 00:10:41
Older than chillers there that they're. 00:10:45
Working on it, a pretty old from. 00:10:48
20. 00:10:51
12 right? 00:10:53
But well, well, when it was remodeled to occupy it for a CBRF when we moved Human Services up there. 00:10:54
They're about half the life use out of them. 1213 seasons, yes. 00:11:00
OK. 00:11:05
All right. Any other questions on that? 00:11:07
OK. Then we'll move on to the 2526 budget update. 00:11:13
I guess there was not too many issues with my budget for next year. I was not asked to cut anything at this point in time yet. 00:11:21
That could still happen, but I have not been asked. 00:11:27
And being that we are under budget on utilities and also that we did not. 00:11:30
Do the window cleaning as we had planned this year. 00:11:35
I I was asked to move our carpet replacement project for the Clerk of Courts from next year's budget into this year's budget. 00:11:40
Oh, really? 00:11:47
Well, so yes, they wanted me to cut. 00:11:48
Back on next year's budget and being that we had a surplus. 00:11:51
We could do that this year that we have funds available that. 00:11:55
We budgeted 47,000 for that carpet replacement. 00:11:58
And so with what we're ahead this year, we'll be able to pick that cost up. So that'll just reduce my budget for next year. 00:12:02
So that budgeted amount, that includes the carpeting and your labor. Your men labor or not? 00:12:09
It includes the carpeting and I'm going to meet with Coakley's, the furniture moving people. I have appointment with them next 00:12:14
week to discuss what it's going to. 00:12:19
Take for them to take the cubicles down and set them back up. 00:12:24
They're much quicker at that stuff than what we are. 00:12:28
And we do have a walkthrough on Monday morning at 10:00. 00:12:32
For anybody that wants to bid on the carpet project. 00:12:38
So it is out there. Trista has put that out on the website for the request for bids on that. 00:12:43
Project. 00:12:48
Just to back up, John, what did you say you got for insurance for that jail chiller? 00:12:57
3939 thousand for the courthouse, Jody. 00:13:01
For the corridor Courthouse Chiller, 39,000. 00:13:05
OK. 00:13:08
And a new one was going to cost her own. 00:13:11
We we budgeted 400,000 in the CIP, so that should cover engineering costs and. 00:13:14
Procuring the chiller. 00:13:22
OK, very good. 00:13:24
Any other questions you guys got at all as far as the budget to actual numbers that you had in your packet there? 00:13:27
I thought they all look pretty damn good. I mean. 00:13:34
You're falling right in line with the big ticket items. The smaller ones, it's understandable where you. 00:13:37
You get way outside but. 00:13:42
Yeah, your big ticket ones are all looking pretty damn good, so. 00:13:44
All right. Then we'll move on to the facility directors. 00:13:50
So under repairs and improvements last month I reported to you guys at the highway is going to be fixing our potholes in the Henry 00:13:55
Dodge. 00:13:58
You know, they looked at that several months ago and. 00:14:04
I still don't have a timeline on when they're repairing them, so I don't know when that's gonna happen. 00:14:07
I would hope very soon, but. 00:14:12
Yeah, I don't know. 00:14:14
So we are still looking to have that done this fall, yet we don't want that to go over the winter again. 00:14:17
Our Branch 5 courtroom has now been converted over to LED lighting. 00:14:23
And that was the last courtroom that we needed to do that in. So now all 5 courtrooms. 00:14:28
Our LED lighting. 00:14:33
Nice. 00:14:35
Our new steamer that we talked about last month was just installed in the kitchen today. 00:14:38
That was jail improvement funds that paid for that. 00:14:44
And I think Phil's got a couple of pictures of what the guys. 00:14:47
This is a little different than our old one. This has all filtered water that goes into it, so the guys Plumb that all in. 00:14:52
Today my guys mounted all that stuff in there. 00:15:00
So there you can see how that comes off those lines and feeds into the steamer. 00:15:05
There's another one that's the. There's a tempered drain on that. 00:15:14
Our drain line was not made for this hot of water that this steamer. 00:15:20
Puts down the drain. 00:15:25
So we do not have the CPVC piping in the floor. So we have. 00:15:27
Bought a tempering kit with this that when it does drain it mixes cold water in with that so it cools it down South. It's the 00:15:31
right temperature to go down to PVC drains. 00:15:36
OK, good idea. 00:15:41
And there you can see it. It's quite a bit smaller than our previous one. Our previous one took up the whole space of that tile 00:15:45
flooring right there. 00:15:49
It does hold the same number of pans, it's just a whole much smaller footprint than the old one. 00:15:54
Very nice. 00:16:01
And you can use half on half at a time if you want. 00:16:03
Yes, and you can use half at a time and. 00:16:06
A lot less moving parts to it. It does not have this big fancy heat exchanger on the side. It doesn't have a lot of electronics. 00:16:09
It's much more mechanical. 00:16:13
Much simpler to maintain and operate. 00:16:19
It looks more durable too. 00:16:22
Yes. 00:16:24
No, Very nice. 00:16:26
So that would be our new steamer. 00:16:31
Our Pod H camera project that was also jail improvement funds that is progressing along. 00:16:34
They are almost complete with that. 00:16:41
They will not be here tomorrow, but they will be back on Monday. 00:16:44
To finish aiming the cameras. 00:16:48
And doing the the proper focus and zoom in with that and then that project will be done. We will have seven additional cameras in 00:16:51
our H pod. 00:16:55
Provide much better visibility for the officers. See what's really going on. 00:17:01
Get those Henry Dodge pictures. We we do have additional hot water leaks again at Henry Dodge. 00:17:09
That's. 00:17:15
Yeah. 00:17:17
Wow, we got that shut off to this unit. This is a stairwell heating unit right now. 00:17:18
You just want to back out just a little bit, Phil, You can see the whole thing that the shut off doesn't really move. The elbows 00:17:24
bad, the ****** is bad, the dielectric union up top is bad. 00:17:29
And and if you can show the other picture, Phil. 00:17:38
This is on the backside. We actually had to cut the concrete block wall out. 00:17:42
Because that ****** there coming out of the tea is all wet also. 00:17:48
So we're going to have to try to get that all apart and then. 00:17:52
Plumb back in with either black iron or. 00:17:55
Go with copper pro press fittings or something to get that. 00:17:59
Through the wall to the heater on the other side, but we did have to cut a large chunk of concrete block wall out just to get to 00:18:04
the piping that was inside there. 00:18:08
So that's all black iron piping in there? 00:18:13
Yeah, that that's common for heating lines, Black iron pipe, yes. 00:18:16
That's all originally, yeah. 00:18:20
And I imagine their stuff looking like that all throughout that facility. 00:18:23
Oh yeah. 00:18:27
Yeah. And you can see the the lovely stuff underneath the insulation there. 00:18:28
That is not fiberglass. It's. 00:18:34
Something else? 00:18:36
Yep, see them are pictures that the whole board should see. 00:18:37
Yeah, and then you know what I'm saying. 00:18:41
We should have pictures like that for the whole board to see. And then they can also not that particular one. No, no, not that 00:18:44
particular one. Just going to say don't think that one. But yeah, I mean, you get the drift that it, I mean, we got to, this is 00:18:49
not the first time we've opened up walls just to fix heating pipes or. 00:18:55
Regular plumbing pipes and. 00:19:00
Now, sooner or later, you get a. 00:19:03
Change gears and go a different direction. 00:19:06
So I said my staff is working on this, we'll work on it more next week and we'll. 00:19:10
Come up with some type of a solution to get this fixed and get that heater back in operation. 00:19:15
Is it usually the black iron pipes that are causing leaks or do you have any on the copper? 00:19:20
No, it's it's a black iron, black iron, iron or cash or cast iron correct on the waistlines. 00:19:25
There's also some galvanized waistlines in there too, like from drinking fountains and sinks and stuff that are rotting out also. 00:19:33
Lovely. 00:19:41
All right. We just had some water line work done at Henry Dodge. Also, we had three check valves in the boiler room that were 00:19:44
failing. These are all on the hot water. 00:19:49
System. 00:19:54
And we just had those replaced yesterday. 00:19:55
One of them was a 2 1/2 inch cast iron check bell about. 00:20:00
The size of a volleyball. 00:20:04
So they did those. 00:20:07
That was 47150 bucks. 00:20:09
To have those done. The other ones were big. 00:20:12
Copper ones that they put in the other two check valves that had failed. 00:20:15
So that is all up and running and that. 00:20:19
Also feeds our hot water. 00:20:21
System that goes to the CBRF or there is a. 00:20:24
A mixing valve and we are not allowed to go over 115° for those residents on that and our. 00:20:27
Mixer is not very precise. 00:20:35
We do a lot of handbell throttling to try to get it to be where it's supposed to. 00:20:38
The last inspection we had it was at 116 and we were allowed 115, so we were 1° over. So they did write that up. 00:20:45
Really. 00:20:52
Is so. 00:20:55
We do have another inspection coming up in October, so we're going to try to have that narrowed down and dialed in a little 00:20:57
better. 00:20:59
I did allow 15,000 in my budget for next year to put in an electronic mixing valve. We do have one of those in the jail. It is 00:21:03
very precise. 00:21:07
It stays. 00:21:11
Within a degree or two of where you set it. 00:21:13
It works much better with an electronic one. It just cycles and floats that valve up and down to. 00:21:15
Match the output of what you need. 00:21:22
So we're going to. 00:21:25
Put that in next year. 00:21:27
And hopefully have much better control. 00:21:29
For Clearview, we have a lot of bad bearings in motors and pumps and things up there that my guys will be helping with. 00:21:36
I do have a whole list of. 00:21:44
Ones that we need to look at, we need to get up there and actually. 00:21:46
See what bearings and things we need to order, and once we get those in, we'll be sending up. 00:21:51
A couple people that help. 00:21:55
Their mechanic changed those. 00:21:57
They only have one mechanic that is capable of. 00:22:00
Doing uh. 00:22:04
Bearing changes in pumps and motors and things like that. They do not have gear pullers, they do not have bearing heaters. 00:22:04
So that's why we'll be sending our staff up there to assist with that. That's good. 00:22:12
Do that work? 00:22:16
That's in the heat pumps. 00:22:18
It's in air handler motors, it's in pumps, it's it's throughout the whole facility where they have identified some bearings that 00:22:20
are noisy and and need to be replaced. 00:22:24
So we'll be doing that in the next couple of months. 00:22:31
Helping them out with that. 00:22:33
Cheaper than replacing the whole thing. 00:22:36
It's good you guys can do that stuff. 00:22:38
Excuse me, John, are those greaseable bearings that are failing? Are they seal bearings? 00:22:43
Do you know? I can't tell you. I have not looked at the motors themselves. 00:22:47
So on the. 00:22:52
Motors and things that we've been doing in the Geo, we had a mix of precible and non greasable. We've been putting all sealed 00:22:53
bearings in. 00:22:57
The motors that we've been changing out for the last. 00:23:02
15 years or so we've been using sealed bearings. 00:23:04
Do they even make a greasable bearing anymore do that? 00:23:08
Just my head is, is there a? 00:23:13
PM problem that the bearings are failing if they're greasable and they're not getting greased right? 00:23:15
Right. You know that. I can't tell you, man. 00:23:20
But we're going to. 00:23:24
Try to get them going in the right direction. 00:23:25
Good. Our negative air cells in the jail, they have not worked correctly for quite some time. They've been slightly positive and 00:23:28
that's not the way we should be. 00:23:34
Operating those. 00:23:40
And we did have our HVAC contractor take a look at this last month. 00:23:41
And he and Phil were able to look at the program and see what was going on. 00:23:46
He was able to dig into that program and actually make the changes and now that these are. 00:23:53
True negative air cells for people that do have a communicable disease that you want to. 00:23:59
Exhaust all that air straight to the outside. 00:24:04
So we have got that all up in. 00:24:07
Working properly now and that that's just something that Johnson Controls could not do while they had the service contract here, 00:24:09
they couldn't get it figured out. 00:24:13
So jail is much happier now with. 00:24:18
That, yeah. 00:24:20
Uh. 00:24:22
Last thing under repairs. 00:24:26
Our York 400 ton chiller that we had all the issues with getting for over to several years that it took to get it installed. 00:24:30
We now have some oil leaks on a compressor. 00:24:39
We have a 66 month extended warranty that covers compressor parts and labor. 00:24:45
However, Johnson Controls says even though it's on the compressor, it's not part of the compressor and we are not covering it. 00:24:51
Even though you need to take part of the compressor apart to change the seal that is leaking the oil. 00:24:59
It's not part of the compressor. 00:25:03
So I have reached out to Kim and we are going to pursue that on her end because we believe that it should be covered under that 00:25:06
warranty and that we shouldn't be paying $7400 or something that's only two years old and has failed. 00:25:12
Really. 00:25:20
So. 00:25:23
And that was the one where they had to block in the line right where it was. Oh yeah, where they had handbell shut off and it took 00:25:24
two extra years to get the chiller and. 00:25:29
Yes. 00:25:34
Wow. See, in Jeff, you said we're going to have troubles with that on your own. 00:25:35
You're right. 00:25:40
It's just starting. 00:25:42
OK, so yes, Kim and I will work with. 00:25:44
That and we'll see what we can pursue with Johnson Controls. We just don't think that this should be our responsibility. 00:25:47
Yeah, agree. 00:25:54
Other than our operations. 00:25:58
So we've been doing a lot of escorting of contractors lately. We've had a lot of projects going on in the jail and elsewhere. So 00:26:01
once we get. 00:26:05
Through with that then we should be able to get. 00:26:08
Back to doing more maintenance work than what we've been doing. 00:26:10
Lately, but. 00:26:14
We'll be back on track here starting next week once this camera project is complete, so. 00:26:16
Working on bringing our new lead mechanic up to speed on on how we operate as a department. Teaching him all our. 00:26:22
Systems how we do things. Our maintenance software programs, our HVAC software. 00:26:30
All that sort of thing. So we're working very hard on getting him up to speed with. 00:26:36
All the things he needs to know. 00:26:41
So that's going well. 00:26:43
Good. 00:26:45
Out in the Plaza here, we do have. 00:26:48
LED lights at night out there now, OK. 00:26:51
The benches are out, the tables are out. Trash receptacles, flower pots, they've all been installed. Everything looks nice. 00:26:54
It's very well lit at night. 00:27:02
I think it has a really nice look. 00:27:04
To it daytime as well as nighttime. 00:27:05
It sounds like they are putting their ribbon cutting off till spring. 00:27:10
That they're not going to do it this fall anymore, but. 00:27:15
I think the whole Plaza does look very nice. 00:27:18
For what they've got done out there. 00:27:20
So are they still planning on replacing all that concrete or that? Yes. And I don't know if that's going to be this fall or if 00:27:23
that's going to be next spring. 00:27:26
Also, I don't even know if the city knows yet when they're going to do that, No. 00:27:31
But yes, that is. 00:27:36
Still planned that that does need to come back out. 00:27:38
Well, so. 00:27:40
For the most part, it's substantially completed, except for replacing that concrete in. 00:27:43
I say everything does look pretty nice out there. 00:27:47
And your lawn they worked on 2 or not? 00:27:49
They did. They came back and reseeded it, but again, they didn't water it after they receded it, so it didn't really. 00:27:52
You know. 00:27:59
What can I say, it's a little bit out of my control, but. 00:28:01
Did you ever did you ever put a Wi-Fi thing on the roof? 00:28:08
We did not yet. 00:28:11
Still in the plans or? 00:28:15
I haven't talked to Kevin lately about it, but. 00:28:17
We can discuss that, yeah. 00:28:19
Our HVAC controls contractor, they've been doing additional programming changes at Clearview. Also with the air handlers, it's 00:28:24
helped out a lot with their humidity and their other. 00:28:29
The building just has a whole different feel to it now that they've been working with the air handlers and doing some programming 00:28:34
changes and things are. 00:28:37
More comfortable in the building, but. 00:28:42
The changes they've been able to make, and again, that's something Johnson Controls, just couldn't get figured out so. 00:28:44
Who is the new contractor again? GS Automation out of Rockford. 00:28:50
They have an office up here or no? 00:28:57
They come out of Rockford, IL. 00:28:59
Whenever they Mm-hmm. 00:29:01
Well, they have been extremely good to work with, very talented people and they really dig into stuff and. 00:29:03
We've had very good results with. 00:29:12
Every issue that we've had so far with them that they've been able to figure it out and. 00:29:14
Move on to the next thing. 00:29:18
Last thing is we've been we will be scheduled to do a lot of painting in the CBRF. 00:29:24
Up there, Mary would like all 20 of her rooms repainted. 00:29:30
And and they do need it. 00:29:35
There's a lot of Dings and stuff in the walls that we need to patch up and repaint. 00:29:36
And she has requested one solid. 00:29:41
Color for the entire. 00:29:43
Facility up there right now there there's multiple colors in different rooms. Some have this color, some have that color, some 00:29:45
have two-tone walls and. 00:29:49
She said no, we're just going to go with a single color. Let's get it all painted up nice. So we're going to do that. We're going 00:29:54
to do a bunch of door frames for. 00:29:57
And then also. 00:30:01
Those rooms had some freestanding wardrobes when we opened up up there. 00:30:02
And. 00:30:07
Some of those are really starting to fall apart right now. 00:30:09
So what they did is the rooms that they are remodeling at Clearview, they. 00:30:11
Disassembled all the built in cabinets that were in those rooms. 00:30:16
And we have those all stored in the Henry Dodge building right now. And once we get a room painted, we will take one of those 00:30:20
cabinets and reassemble it in each. 00:30:24
Room so they had it's going to provide more space. 00:30:28
And and a better space than what they had before. 00:30:31
So we're going to repurpose all those. 00:30:34
Cabinets that they had or wardrobes in those rooms and use them in the CRF. 00:30:37
Good, good idea. 00:30:43
Yeah, that's all I got for you on that. 00:30:44
Good you guys got any future agenda items you want put on the? 00:30:48
Next meeting. 00:30:53
Thank you, Benny. 00:30:56
I was just wondering. 00:30:58
Are we going to be taking up a contract with the Minnesota elevator and getting rid of Otis? Is that something? 00:31:00
That's still in the works. Yes, we did. We did sign our intent to do that and I actually just got it back from Corp council today 00:31:05
to review the the wording in the language of the contract. 00:31:11
When when would they take over then? January 1st. 00:31:18
Yes. 00:31:21
So if we have issues now, is Minnesota going to come in and take care of it? No, we're still in our contract, as old as still. 00:31:23
Till December 31st. 00:31:28
So if you have an issue, I would assess to take care of it yet. 00:31:29
In a timely fashion, hopefully. Yeah, we, we hope so, Yes, we hope so that it doesn't extend past December 31st. 00:31:34
But yes, I just did get that this morning from Hannah and Corp council. 00:31:42
Good. 00:31:46
All right, then we need to determine our next meeting date and time. 00:31:49
November 6th right is next, The next Thursday at 4:00. Does that work out for everyone? 00:31:54
Good. Yep. 00:32:02
All right. Then, I declared a meeting adjourned at 4:32. 00:32:04
Thank you all for coming. 00:32:08

Event transcript
Order. 00:00:00
Roll call Non committee supervisor attendance has been taken. 00:00:02
Nobody here from the public that's got any comment. 00:00:08
I need the approval of the minutes from the September 4th 2025. 00:00:12
Meeting. 00:00:17
I'll make a motion to approve. 00:00:19
I'll second motion by. 00:00:20
Todd, seconded by Jeff. 00:00:22
Any additions or corrections to them? 00:00:25
Not all in favor say aye. 00:00:29
Aye. 00:00:31
Aye, opposed. 00:00:32
All right, that's carried. 00:00:34
On the master plan update. 00:00:36
So tomorrow we have our final walkthrough with the engineering staff. 00:00:39
The electrical engineer, the plumbing engineer and the HPC engineer. 00:00:44
That'll be tomorrow, and the last two buildings they need to look at is the courthouse and the jail. 00:00:48
And after that, I believe all their walkthroughs and interviews will be. 00:00:56
Pretty much complete. 00:01:00
And we just wait for their. 00:01:03
Results. 00:01:04
OK. 00:01:05
A little bit. I talked to him at the conference. He kind of felt comfortable that. 00:01:08
They were going to still come. 00:01:13
So the October meeting with their. 00:01:15
Plan OK. 00:01:18
That's what it sounded like, anyhow, So. 00:01:19
We'll see. Good. 00:01:23
All right, Clearview project update. 00:01:27
Bill, you want to show a few pictures? 00:01:32
Things are moving along. 00:01:37
Up there, the third floor is a little further ahead than the second floor. 00:01:39
Wrong one. 00:01:47
No doubt that was there nasty. There we go. This is this is the the 2nd floor here they're putting a lot of the. 00:01:49
The studs up. 00:01:55
Wiring is all going in. They're putting door frames in right now. 00:01:57
You can see the blocking in the walls for some of the things that need to be hung on the walls, they're just blocking the mounted 00:02:07
into. 00:02:10
That happens to be for cabinetry right there. 00:02:14
And there you can see that's a nurses station where you have a lower part. 00:02:19
That'd be like counter and then there'll be a header up on the top up there. 00:02:25
You can see they've already got their. 00:02:30
Pieces in for their can lights up there. What's going to hold the can lights in? 00:02:32
So that's all moving right along And then next few pictures will be the third floor where they've got a lot of the sheetrock in 00:02:37
already. 00:02:41
They're getting close to mudding and taping on that portion there. 00:02:48
Some of the the batting, you can see some of the batting in the center right there for insulating, for sound insulation for some 00:02:58
of the rooms and. 00:03:01
So that's all going on. A lot of plumbing stuff up in the ceiling is going on. 00:03:06
HVAC work up in the ceilings going on. 00:03:12
So a lot of activity, a lot going on. 00:03:14
I did not get a picture of it, but they did install the grease interceptor in the ground this week. Also. They dug the hole for 00:03:19
that and place that in the ground. 00:03:23
So the plumbers are working on getting that hooked in also. 00:03:27
For Clearview. 00:03:30
Yes. 00:03:32
They didn't have one there. 00:03:32
I don't know. I do believe they have one for their main kitchen, but this is for these kitchens in the households. Oh, it's a 00:03:38
separate. The kitchens in the households did not have one before. 00:03:42
I say they they should have, but they did not. 00:03:47
I see. 00:03:52
I think that was the last one gone. Yes, that's the last picture from there. 00:03:53
The construction bulletins have been kind of slow to come out. Catalyst our our construction manager has not been real happy with 00:03:58
Angus Young on that there. 00:04:02
Has been some discussions on that. 00:04:07
And I think. 00:04:10
That is going to get. 00:04:11
Speed it up here in the very near future because I said there was some unhappiness with. 00:04:13
Catalysts being able to keep all the contractors on schedule because they're lacking information from. 00:04:18
The architect. 00:04:24
So yeah. 00:04:27
I will say a catalyst is on top of that and keeping the architect. 00:04:29
Going and saying hey we need this information. 00:04:32
OK. 00:04:39
Now a lot of that stuff, John, and in that remodel job there. 00:04:41
They got to have all special stuff for them, people that are in there so they don't get hurt, right. The windows got to be yes, 00:04:47
they call it anti ligature, yes yeah. And the walls got to be. 00:04:52
Cushion or whatever so. 00:04:57
They are only cushioned in what they call a seclusion room. 00:05:00
Which would be very similar to our padded cells in the jail. 00:05:05
It has the padding on the wall and the door and the floor. 00:05:08
So there is a couple seclusion rooms that are being put in. 00:05:11
That blue drywall that you saw there, that is a. 00:05:16
It has a particular name to it, but it's a very high impact resistant drywall. It's different than regular drywall. 00:05:20
So any. 00:05:26
Areas for that residents will be in will have that versus. 00:05:27
Say like in a laundry room or in a nurses station where you do not have residents, which would be standard drywall. 00:05:33
But the blue stuff that you saw there is a high impact resistant drywall. 00:05:40
OK, so they're not going to be able to put their fists through it? 00:05:45
Well, I'm not gonna guarantee that, but it's it's not gonna crumble and shatter like current conventional drywall. If they do, 00:05:50
it's gonna hurt. 00:05:54
Yeah, I've been in. 00:05:59
I've been a newly remodeled places to in. 00:06:00
And I was. 00:06:03
I guess. 00:06:07
Disappointed a little bit because you would have thought they would have put furniture into that didn't have. 00:06:08
Pointed corners on it. Do you know if? 00:06:13
Doing that worth like. 00:06:16
I believe that was all part of their. I did not read the bid specs on the furniture but I know that there was special anti 00:06:18
ligature furniture that was being ordered for this project. 00:06:23
So in these behavioral health units you will have that. 00:06:29
You know all your rooms are going to have. 00:06:33
Those type of fixtures similar to what we have in the jail, you know, where you can't. 00:06:36
Put something over the top of it and be able to hang from it or or do things like that. 00:06:42
And their furniture will reflect all that also. 00:06:46
You know what time, but what type of door handles or knobs or lack thereof, All those things are all. 00:06:51
Built into a behavioral health unit like that. 00:06:56
It's almost a given when you go to one of those, when you go to one of those places that somebody's got bruises on. 00:07:00
From falling into something so. 00:07:06
Yeah. 00:07:09
All right. Any other questions on that? 00:07:13
Why is the third floor so much further ahead? I guess they were able to get in there sooner. 00:07:16
It's just the way that they were starting from the third down to the second. 00:07:20
Where they scheduled it. 00:07:24
Yeah. 00:07:25
But yeah, they the. 00:07:30
Construction manager really wants to be on target for this end of November. 00:07:32
Finish for the first. 00:07:37
Substantial completion, I mean, you might have some painting or it's moving some furniture in or stuff in December, but. 00:07:39
They would like it. 00:07:45
Pretty much completed by the end of November. 00:07:46
That is good. Is that what they were anticipating or? 00:07:50
What? What is movement date that they want? They do not want to move in until after January 1st. They do not want to move 00:07:53
residents right before the holidays. 00:07:57
Yeah, OK. And they're on schedule for that, huh? 00:08:01
Yes, good. 00:08:06
Are they taking applications and stuff? 00:08:07
For places in there too, then or. 00:08:10
That I don't know. 00:08:12
I guess that'd be a question for Ed from Clearview. 00:08:15
It's very good. 00:08:18
Any other questions? 00:08:20
OK, then we'll move on to the tornado damage update. 00:08:23
We're still waiting for our light pole replacement in Henry Dodge parking lot. I did reach out to kW Electric today. I did not get 00:08:27
a response back from them but. 00:08:31
Trying to find out where we're at with that. 00:08:37
We did hire Surefire Now to replace the damaged coils on the air conditioner units on the Henry Dodge roof. 00:08:41
That feed the CBRF up there. 00:08:50
Surefire will be replacing the coils on both of the rooftop units up there. 00:08:53
So we got that all arranged this morning. 00:08:58
And then? 00:09:02
The insurance estimate. 00:09:06
Just for repairing our. 00:09:07
Chiller on the courthouse roof. 00:09:09
Was 39,000 at the insurance company approved. 00:09:12
And that money we will get next year and we will apply that to the cost of the new chiller. 00:09:17
That you guys approved in the CIP plan for 400,000 for next year, so that 39,000? 00:09:25
Will go towards. 00:09:31
That. 00:09:32
Project. 00:09:33
And we will get that once the project is complete. 00:09:34
That's that will actually lower the cost of our. 00:09:37
Or chiller. That's when we were talking about. 00:09:40
Couple meetings ago about might as well get a. 00:09:43
Yes. 00:09:45
Yeah, nice. 00:09:46
So we're it's, it's a little over 39,000 that will get from the insurance company for that one, so. 00:09:47
So yeah, I mean you're talking, you know, 10% of the project is going to be covered by the insurance company, so. 00:09:56
No. 00:10:03
And that's all I got for a tornado. 00:10:06
OK. Those coils on the Henry Dodge yet they're replacing, is that covered by some insurance or? Yes, it is. We had originally just 00:10:09
looked at the one unit, the one to the West which was damaged more and. 00:10:16
When the insurance adjuster sent their people out to look at it, they. 00:10:24
Said we should replace. 00:10:28
The coils on both units. 00:10:30
So the insurance company did approve. 00:10:32
That, umm. 00:10:34
Good. 00:10:35
So give them credit for being honest and being, you know, 4th grade you they could have just looked the other way and done the one 00:10:38
and. 00:10:41
Older than chillers there that they're. 00:10:45
Working on it, a pretty old from. 00:10:48
20. 00:10:51
12 right? 00:10:53
But well, well, when it was remodeled to occupy it for a CBRF when we moved Human Services up there. 00:10:54
They're about half the life use out of them. 1213 seasons, yes. 00:11:00
OK. 00:11:05
All right. Any other questions on that? 00:11:07
OK. Then we'll move on to the 2526 budget update. 00:11:13
I guess there was not too many issues with my budget for next year. I was not asked to cut anything at this point in time yet. 00:11:21
That could still happen, but I have not been asked. 00:11:27
And being that we are under budget on utilities and also that we did not. 00:11:30
Do the window cleaning as we had planned this year. 00:11:35
I I was asked to move our carpet replacement project for the Clerk of Courts from next year's budget into this year's budget. 00:11:40
Oh, really? 00:11:47
Well, so yes, they wanted me to cut. 00:11:48
Back on next year's budget and being that we had a surplus. 00:11:51
We could do that this year that we have funds available that. 00:11:55
We budgeted 47,000 for that carpet replacement. 00:11:58
And so with what we're ahead this year, we'll be able to pick that cost up. So that'll just reduce my budget for next year. 00:12:02
So that budgeted amount, that includes the carpeting and your labor. Your men labor or not? 00:12:09
It includes the carpeting and I'm going to meet with Coakley's, the furniture moving people. I have appointment with them next 00:12:14
week to discuss what it's going to. 00:12:19
Take for them to take the cubicles down and set them back up. 00:12:24
They're much quicker at that stuff than what we are. 00:12:28
And we do have a walkthrough on Monday morning at 10:00. 00:12:32
For anybody that wants to bid on the carpet project. 00:12:38
So it is out there. Trista has put that out on the website for the request for bids on that. 00:12:43
Project. 00:12:48
Just to back up, John, what did you say you got for insurance for that jail chiller? 00:12:57
3939 thousand for the courthouse, Jody. 00:13:01
For the corridor Courthouse Chiller, 39,000. 00:13:05
OK. 00:13:08
And a new one was going to cost her own. 00:13:11
We we budgeted 400,000 in the CIP, so that should cover engineering costs and. 00:13:14
Procuring the chiller. 00:13:22
OK, very good. 00:13:24
Any other questions you guys got at all as far as the budget to actual numbers that you had in your packet there? 00:13:27
I thought they all look pretty damn good. I mean. 00:13:34
You're falling right in line with the big ticket items. The smaller ones, it's understandable where you. 00:13:37
You get way outside but. 00:13:42
Yeah, your big ticket ones are all looking pretty damn good, so. 00:13:44
All right. Then we'll move on to the facility directors. 00:13:50
So under repairs and improvements last month I reported to you guys at the highway is going to be fixing our potholes in the Henry 00:13:55
Dodge. 00:13:58
You know, they looked at that several months ago and. 00:14:04
I still don't have a timeline on when they're repairing them, so I don't know when that's gonna happen. 00:14:07
I would hope very soon, but. 00:14:12
Yeah, I don't know. 00:14:14
So we are still looking to have that done this fall, yet we don't want that to go over the winter again. 00:14:17
Our Branch 5 courtroom has now been converted over to LED lighting. 00:14:23
And that was the last courtroom that we needed to do that in. So now all 5 courtrooms. 00:14:28
Our LED lighting. 00:14:33
Nice. 00:14:35
Our new steamer that we talked about last month was just installed in the kitchen today. 00:14:38
That was jail improvement funds that paid for that. 00:14:44
And I think Phil's got a couple of pictures of what the guys. 00:14:47
This is a little different than our old one. This has all filtered water that goes into it, so the guys Plumb that all in. 00:14:52
Today my guys mounted all that stuff in there. 00:15:00
So there you can see how that comes off those lines and feeds into the steamer. 00:15:05
There's another one that's the. There's a tempered drain on that. 00:15:14
Our drain line was not made for this hot of water that this steamer. 00:15:20
Puts down the drain. 00:15:25
So we do not have the CPVC piping in the floor. So we have. 00:15:27
Bought a tempering kit with this that when it does drain it mixes cold water in with that so it cools it down South. It's the 00:15:31
right temperature to go down to PVC drains. 00:15:36
OK, good idea. 00:15:41
And there you can see it. It's quite a bit smaller than our previous one. Our previous one took up the whole space of that tile 00:15:45
flooring right there. 00:15:49
It does hold the same number of pans, it's just a whole much smaller footprint than the old one. 00:15:54
Very nice. 00:16:01
And you can use half on half at a time if you want. 00:16:03
Yes, and you can use half at a time and. 00:16:06
A lot less moving parts to it. It does not have this big fancy heat exchanger on the side. It doesn't have a lot of electronics. 00:16:09
It's much more mechanical. 00:16:13
Much simpler to maintain and operate. 00:16:19
It looks more durable too. 00:16:22
Yes. 00:16:24
No, Very nice. 00:16:26
So that would be our new steamer. 00:16:31
Our Pod H camera project that was also jail improvement funds that is progressing along. 00:16:34
They are almost complete with that. 00:16:41
They will not be here tomorrow, but they will be back on Monday. 00:16:44
To finish aiming the cameras. 00:16:48
And doing the the proper focus and zoom in with that and then that project will be done. We will have seven additional cameras in 00:16:51
our H pod. 00:16:55
Provide much better visibility for the officers. See what's really going on. 00:17:01
Get those Henry Dodge pictures. We we do have additional hot water leaks again at Henry Dodge. 00:17:09
That's. 00:17:15
Yeah. 00:17:17
Wow, we got that shut off to this unit. This is a stairwell heating unit right now. 00:17:18
You just want to back out just a little bit, Phil, You can see the whole thing that the shut off doesn't really move. The elbows 00:17:24
bad, the ****** is bad, the dielectric union up top is bad. 00:17:29
And and if you can show the other picture, Phil. 00:17:38
This is on the backside. We actually had to cut the concrete block wall out. 00:17:42
Because that ****** there coming out of the tea is all wet also. 00:17:48
So we're going to have to try to get that all apart and then. 00:17:52
Plumb back in with either black iron or. 00:17:55
Go with copper pro press fittings or something to get that. 00:17:59
Through the wall to the heater on the other side, but we did have to cut a large chunk of concrete block wall out just to get to 00:18:04
the piping that was inside there. 00:18:08
So that's all black iron piping in there? 00:18:13
Yeah, that that's common for heating lines, Black iron pipe, yes. 00:18:16
That's all originally, yeah. 00:18:20
And I imagine their stuff looking like that all throughout that facility. 00:18:23
Oh yeah. 00:18:27
Yeah. And you can see the the lovely stuff underneath the insulation there. 00:18:28
That is not fiberglass. It's. 00:18:34
Something else? 00:18:36
Yep, see them are pictures that the whole board should see. 00:18:37
Yeah, and then you know what I'm saying. 00:18:41
We should have pictures like that for the whole board to see. And then they can also not that particular one. No, no, not that 00:18:44
particular one. Just going to say don't think that one. But yeah, I mean, you get the drift that it, I mean, we got to, this is 00:18:49
not the first time we've opened up walls just to fix heating pipes or. 00:18:55
Regular plumbing pipes and. 00:19:00
Now, sooner or later, you get a. 00:19:03
Change gears and go a different direction. 00:19:06
So I said my staff is working on this, we'll work on it more next week and we'll. 00:19:10
Come up with some type of a solution to get this fixed and get that heater back in operation. 00:19:15
Is it usually the black iron pipes that are causing leaks or do you have any on the copper? 00:19:20
No, it's it's a black iron, black iron, iron or cash or cast iron correct on the waistlines. 00:19:25
There's also some galvanized waistlines in there too, like from drinking fountains and sinks and stuff that are rotting out also. 00:19:33
Lovely. 00:19:41
All right. We just had some water line work done at Henry Dodge. Also, we had three check valves in the boiler room that were 00:19:44
failing. These are all on the hot water. 00:19:49
System. 00:19:54
And we just had those replaced yesterday. 00:19:55
One of them was a 2 1/2 inch cast iron check bell about. 00:20:00
The size of a volleyball. 00:20:04
So they did those. 00:20:07
That was 47150 bucks. 00:20:09
To have those done. The other ones were big. 00:20:12
Copper ones that they put in the other two check valves that had failed. 00:20:15
So that is all up and running and that. 00:20:19
Also feeds our hot water. 00:20:21
System that goes to the CBRF or there is a. 00:20:24
A mixing valve and we are not allowed to go over 115° for those residents on that and our. 00:20:27
Mixer is not very precise. 00:20:35
We do a lot of handbell throttling to try to get it to be where it's supposed to. 00:20:38
The last inspection we had it was at 116 and we were allowed 115, so we were 1° over. So they did write that up. 00:20:45
Really. 00:20:52
Is so. 00:20:55
We do have another inspection coming up in October, so we're going to try to have that narrowed down and dialed in a little 00:20:57
better. 00:20:59
I did allow 15,000 in my budget for next year to put in an electronic mixing valve. We do have one of those in the jail. It is 00:21:03
very precise. 00:21:07
It stays. 00:21:11
Within a degree or two of where you set it. 00:21:13
It works much better with an electronic one. It just cycles and floats that valve up and down to. 00:21:15
Match the output of what you need. 00:21:22
So we're going to. 00:21:25
Put that in next year. 00:21:27
And hopefully have much better control. 00:21:29
For Clearview, we have a lot of bad bearings in motors and pumps and things up there that my guys will be helping with. 00:21:36
I do have a whole list of. 00:21:44
Ones that we need to look at, we need to get up there and actually. 00:21:46
See what bearings and things we need to order, and once we get those in, we'll be sending up. 00:21:51
A couple people that help. 00:21:55
Their mechanic changed those. 00:21:57
They only have one mechanic that is capable of. 00:22:00
Doing uh. 00:22:04
Bearing changes in pumps and motors and things like that. They do not have gear pullers, they do not have bearing heaters. 00:22:04
So that's why we'll be sending our staff up there to assist with that. That's good. 00:22:12
Do that work? 00:22:16
That's in the heat pumps. 00:22:18
It's in air handler motors, it's in pumps, it's it's throughout the whole facility where they have identified some bearings that 00:22:20
are noisy and and need to be replaced. 00:22:24
So we'll be doing that in the next couple of months. 00:22:31
Helping them out with that. 00:22:33
Cheaper than replacing the whole thing. 00:22:36
It's good you guys can do that stuff. 00:22:38
Excuse me, John, are those greaseable bearings that are failing? Are they seal bearings? 00:22:43
Do you know? I can't tell you. I have not looked at the motors themselves. 00:22:47
So on the. 00:22:52
Motors and things that we've been doing in the Geo, we had a mix of precible and non greasable. We've been putting all sealed 00:22:53
bearings in. 00:22:57
The motors that we've been changing out for the last. 00:23:02
15 years or so we've been using sealed bearings. 00:23:04
Do they even make a greasable bearing anymore do that? 00:23:08
Just my head is, is there a? 00:23:13
PM problem that the bearings are failing if they're greasable and they're not getting greased right? 00:23:15
Right. You know that. I can't tell you, man. 00:23:20
But we're going to. 00:23:24
Try to get them going in the right direction. 00:23:25
Good. Our negative air cells in the jail, they have not worked correctly for quite some time. They've been slightly positive and 00:23:28
that's not the way we should be. 00:23:34
Operating those. 00:23:40
And we did have our HVAC contractor take a look at this last month. 00:23:41
And he and Phil were able to look at the program and see what was going on. 00:23:46
He was able to dig into that program and actually make the changes and now that these are. 00:23:53
True negative air cells for people that do have a communicable disease that you want to. 00:23:59
Exhaust all that air straight to the outside. 00:24:04
So we have got that all up in. 00:24:07
Working properly now and that that's just something that Johnson Controls could not do while they had the service contract here, 00:24:09
they couldn't get it figured out. 00:24:13
So jail is much happier now with. 00:24:18
That, yeah. 00:24:20
Uh. 00:24:22
Last thing under repairs. 00:24:26
Our York 400 ton chiller that we had all the issues with getting for over to several years that it took to get it installed. 00:24:30
We now have some oil leaks on a compressor. 00:24:39
We have a 66 month extended warranty that covers compressor parts and labor. 00:24:45
However, Johnson Controls says even though it's on the compressor, it's not part of the compressor and we are not covering it. 00:24:51
Even though you need to take part of the compressor apart to change the seal that is leaking the oil. 00:24:59
It's not part of the compressor. 00:25:03
So I have reached out to Kim and we are going to pursue that on her end because we believe that it should be covered under that 00:25:06
warranty and that we shouldn't be paying $7400 or something that's only two years old and has failed. 00:25:12
Really. 00:25:20
So. 00:25:23
And that was the one where they had to block in the line right where it was. Oh yeah, where they had handbell shut off and it took 00:25:24
two extra years to get the chiller and. 00:25:29
Yes. 00:25:34
Wow. See, in Jeff, you said we're going to have troubles with that on your own. 00:25:35
You're right. 00:25:40
It's just starting. 00:25:42
OK, so yes, Kim and I will work with. 00:25:44
That and we'll see what we can pursue with Johnson Controls. We just don't think that this should be our responsibility. 00:25:47
Yeah, agree. 00:25:54
Other than our operations. 00:25:58
So we've been doing a lot of escorting of contractors lately. We've had a lot of projects going on in the jail and elsewhere. So 00:26:01
once we get. 00:26:05
Through with that then we should be able to get. 00:26:08
Back to doing more maintenance work than what we've been doing. 00:26:10
Lately, but. 00:26:14
We'll be back on track here starting next week once this camera project is complete, so. 00:26:16
Working on bringing our new lead mechanic up to speed on on how we operate as a department. Teaching him all our. 00:26:22
Systems how we do things. Our maintenance software programs, our HVAC software. 00:26:30
All that sort of thing. So we're working very hard on getting him up to speed with. 00:26:36
All the things he needs to know. 00:26:41
So that's going well. 00:26:43
Good. 00:26:45
Out in the Plaza here, we do have. 00:26:48
LED lights at night out there now, OK. 00:26:51
The benches are out, the tables are out. Trash receptacles, flower pots, they've all been installed. Everything looks nice. 00:26:54
It's very well lit at night. 00:27:02
I think it has a really nice look. 00:27:04
To it daytime as well as nighttime. 00:27:05
It sounds like they are putting their ribbon cutting off till spring. 00:27:10
That they're not going to do it this fall anymore, but. 00:27:15
I think the whole Plaza does look very nice. 00:27:18
For what they've got done out there. 00:27:20
So are they still planning on replacing all that concrete or that? Yes. And I don't know if that's going to be this fall or if 00:27:23
that's going to be next spring. 00:27:26
Also, I don't even know if the city knows yet when they're going to do that, No. 00:27:31
But yes, that is. 00:27:36
Still planned that that does need to come back out. 00:27:38
Well, so. 00:27:40
For the most part, it's substantially completed, except for replacing that concrete in. 00:27:43
I say everything does look pretty nice out there. 00:27:47
And your lawn they worked on 2 or not? 00:27:49
They did. They came back and reseeded it, but again, they didn't water it after they receded it, so it didn't really. 00:27:52
You know. 00:27:59
What can I say, it's a little bit out of my control, but. 00:28:01
Did you ever did you ever put a Wi-Fi thing on the roof? 00:28:08
We did not yet. 00:28:11
Still in the plans or? 00:28:15
I haven't talked to Kevin lately about it, but. 00:28:17
We can discuss that, yeah. 00:28:19
Our HVAC controls contractor, they've been doing additional programming changes at Clearview. Also with the air handlers, it's 00:28:24
helped out a lot with their humidity and their other. 00:28:29
The building just has a whole different feel to it now that they've been working with the air handlers and doing some programming 00:28:34
changes and things are. 00:28:37
More comfortable in the building, but. 00:28:42
The changes they've been able to make, and again, that's something Johnson Controls, just couldn't get figured out so. 00:28:44
Who is the new contractor again? GS Automation out of Rockford. 00:28:50
They have an office up here or no? 00:28:57
They come out of Rockford, IL. 00:28:59
Whenever they Mm-hmm. 00:29:01
Well, they have been extremely good to work with, very talented people and they really dig into stuff and. 00:29:03
We've had very good results with. 00:29:12
Every issue that we've had so far with them that they've been able to figure it out and. 00:29:14
Move on to the next thing. 00:29:18
Last thing is we've been we will be scheduled to do a lot of painting in the CBRF. 00:29:24
Up there, Mary would like all 20 of her rooms repainted. 00:29:30
And and they do need it. 00:29:35
There's a lot of Dings and stuff in the walls that we need to patch up and repaint. 00:29:36
And she has requested one solid. 00:29:41
Color for the entire. 00:29:43
Facility up there right now there there's multiple colors in different rooms. Some have this color, some have that color, some 00:29:45
have two-tone walls and. 00:29:49
She said no, we're just going to go with a single color. Let's get it all painted up nice. So we're going to do that. We're going 00:29:54
to do a bunch of door frames for. 00:29:57
And then also. 00:30:01
Those rooms had some freestanding wardrobes when we opened up up there. 00:30:02
And. 00:30:07
Some of those are really starting to fall apart right now. 00:30:09
So what they did is the rooms that they are remodeling at Clearview, they. 00:30:11
Disassembled all the built in cabinets that were in those rooms. 00:30:16
And we have those all stored in the Henry Dodge building right now. And once we get a room painted, we will take one of those 00:30:20
cabinets and reassemble it in each. 00:30:24
Room so they had it's going to provide more space. 00:30:28
And and a better space than what they had before. 00:30:31
So we're going to repurpose all those. 00:30:34
Cabinets that they had or wardrobes in those rooms and use them in the CRF. 00:30:37
Good, good idea. 00:30:43
Yeah, that's all I got for you on that. 00:30:44
Good you guys got any future agenda items you want put on the? 00:30:48
Next meeting. 00:30:53
Thank you, Benny. 00:30:56
I was just wondering. 00:30:58
Are we going to be taking up a contract with the Minnesota elevator and getting rid of Otis? Is that something? 00:31:00
That's still in the works. Yes, we did. We did sign our intent to do that and I actually just got it back from Corp council today 00:31:05
to review the the wording in the language of the contract. 00:31:11
When when would they take over then? January 1st. 00:31:18
Yes. 00:31:21
So if we have issues now, is Minnesota going to come in and take care of it? No, we're still in our contract, as old as still. 00:31:23
Till December 31st. 00:31:28
So if you have an issue, I would assess to take care of it yet. 00:31:29
In a timely fashion, hopefully. Yeah, we, we hope so, Yes, we hope so that it doesn't extend past December 31st. 00:31:34
But yes, I just did get that this morning from Hannah and Corp council. 00:31:42
Good. 00:31:46
All right, then we need to determine our next meeting date and time. 00:31:49
November 6th right is next, The next Thursday at 4:00. Does that work out for everyone? 00:31:54
Good. Yep. 00:32:02
All right. Then, I declared a meeting adjourned at 4:32. 00:32:04
Thank you all for coming. 00:32:08
