SPECIAL MEETING MAINTENANCE/EVENT CENTER STRUCTURE COMMISSIONERS
At 10:00 a.m. Chairman Wright opened a Special Meeting to consider
the structure of the Event Center and Maintenance Department.
Chairman Wright gave a recap of previous discussions of separating
out Maintenance and the Event Center. Tim Egan, Maintenance Director
and Kady Porterfield, Event Center Director felt a clean break would
be best for both departments moving forward and to assist with
streamlining.
The Board agreed to separate the two departments noting the two
positions currently held by Tim Oversby (Maintenance Tech. 1) and
Daniel Eddings would be managed by Kady Porterfield at the Event
Center. Lisa Young indicated she would reach out to the Unions and
let them know about the changes in management. Any of the large
projects would need to go through Patti Johnson, Solid Waste
Director/Project Manager. The Board agreed how they do not want to
see a decline in the quality of product at the Event Center and the
public should not see any differences with the split of departments.
The transition would become effective next Monday.
Heather Harrell, Fair Board member said her only concern was the
upkeep on the Event Center as it’s significantly improved over the
past two years and did not want to see it decline.
Mr. Egan said he would like to have the one-ton dump truck
transferred to the Maintenance Department. Mr. Egan and Ms.
Porterfield were instructed to get together and go over routine
lists.
The Board instructed Staff to schedule a follow up meeting in a
month to see how things are going. Lisa Young will send out an
email and include the Commissioners disseminating information about
the changes.
