1.        Meeting called to order at 8:30 a.m.

2.        Maintenance Department Update

 

·         Jail Generator

 

Dave Vitale, Maintenance Supervisor informed the committee the generator at the jail is only a 15 kilowatt generator.  The air conditioning unit at the jail runs on 21 kilowatts.  The generator only runs the lights when a power outage occurs.  The question is whether or not the generator in the jail should run other equipment (e.g. furnace, air handling unit, air conditioner, etc.)

 

The Committee directed Mr. Vitale to get quotes for a load bank test on the old generator in the jail.

 

·         County Building

 

Mr. Vitale informed the Committee the joints in between the panels on the outside of the building have cracks and are leaking air (cold air in the winter) into the building.  The Committee directed Mr. Vitale to get prices on buying an old lift compared to renting one, and sealing up the leaks in the County Building.
