Council approved the consent agenda on Sept. 16, which bundled numerous routine items and contracts. During discussion Vice Chair Ruther highlighted capital needs at the county prison and described a recent site visit that convinced him the county should fund a kitchen modernization.
"When I went and saw the kitchen, it was appalling," Vice Chair Ruther said, and he identified a contract for the kitchen modernization with Daniel J. Keedy & Company not to exceed $12,123,000. He said the broader consent package includes required inspections and oversight for large projects and emphasized that prior work at the prison had been delivered on time and on budget. The motion to approve the consent agenda passed by voice vote.
