Public Works Administrator Jeremy Myers brought several operational items to the commission, including routine contract renewals, facility inspections and a small facilities repair.

Trash and recycling: Howie’s Trash Service — the county’s current waste provider — submitted a 2026 proposal with no change in rates from 2025; Jeremy Myers recommended commission approval to renew the contract for county buildings and recycling pickup.

Elevator inspections: Kone completed inspections of county elevators and provided an asset‑management plan that recommends phased modernization projects for three elevators. Staff warned modernization projects can be expensive and said Public Works will meet with Kone to scope work precisely and limit change orders; those projects will likely be candidates for future CIP requests.

Sprinkler repair: Johnson Controls submitted a repair quote of $1,543.54 to fix a rusted sprinkler pipe leaking in the county office building basement. The commission approved the repair from the facility fund by voice vote.

SNAP‑Ed office vacancy: staff noted the SNAP‑Ed extension office had vacated an office and asked commissioners to consider uses or hold the space for future program needs.
