Commissioners unanimously authorize accelerated roof repair at C4 jail unit

The court briefly recessed and then reconvened into open session to consider an addendum allowing the jail to accelerate a roof repair at the C4 unit this fiscal year. The contract draft from the county attorney's office was attached to the proposal and the judge sought authorization to sign once the court approved. Commissioner White moved to approve with Commissioner Woolley seconding; the judge called for the ayes and the item carried unanimously.

The judge said the funding will come from current funds so the work can proceed this year rather than being carried into next year's budget. The contract called for a membrane roof from Promsource Roofing and the judge said county staff would ensure the county attorney and procurement steps were completed before signatures. "Move to approve, give the candidate judge authorization to sign," said the commissioner who moved the item; the court then voted in favor.
