County to buy metal shelving after sheriff's records found damaged in Public Health Building basement

Members discussed deteriorated shelving and water damage to sheriff's records stored in the Public Health Building basement and agreed to procure metal shelving to protect records.

Unidentified Speaker 1 described plywood shelving that had sagged and become warped after water exposure and said, "it's an absolute mess." The speaker suggested buying metal shelving to raise records off the ground and asked for coordination with deputies to move materials and dispose of damaged shelving.

Participants recommended checking with Shannon about existing inventory and noted that wire racking units were available at a market price range discussed informally. The group agreed that damaged or warped shelving could be discarded. No formal procurement vote or contract award was recorded; instead, staff were asked to coordinate the purchase and moving of records.

The meeting did not specify a vendor, purchase amount, or procurement timeline; the action recorded was an informal direction to obtain metal shelving and relocate records to prevent further damage.
