12/05/2016 MINUTES 1 <br /> COMMISSIONERS' MINUTES <br />KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON <br />COMMISSIONERS CONFERENCE ROOM <br />REGULAR MEETING <br /> <br />MONDAY 9:50 A.M. DECEMBER 5, 2016 <br /> <br />Board members present: Chairman Obie O’Brien; Vice-Chairman Paul <br />Jewell & Commissioner Laura Osiadacz. <br /> <br />Others: Mandy Buchholz, Deputy Clerk of the Board; Patti Johnson, <br />Solid Waste/Maintenance Director/Project Manager. <br /> <br />REGULAR MEETING DEPARTMENT HEAD MAINTENANCE <br /> <br />Patti Johnson, Solid Waste/Maintenance Director/Project Manager <br />explained that there are a lot of complaints regarding the heating <br />and ventilation over at in the Lower Dist. Court wing of the <br />Courthouse. They are requesting consideration for a system similar <br />to what the Auditor’s Office and HR already have. She stated that <br />she had her Staff begin getting numbers for what the cost would be, <br />but that was on Friday and as of yet she hadn’t heard anything back. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jewell questioned where the money would come from. Ms. <br />Johnson explained that she has approximately $9,000.00 savings from <br />unfilled positions in 2016. <br /> <br />Commissioner Osiadacz was in favor of the project if it would make <br />the employees more comfortable. She felt if the project would cost <br />more than $5,000.00 then further discussion would need to take <br />place. She felt that although the County wants to build a new <br />Courthouse, more than likely the best case scenario is approximately <br />5 years out for that. So this would create some relief in the <br />interim. <br /> <br />Chairman O’Brien questioned whether or not the additional power <br />consumption by adding an additional unit would void the work that <br />Amersco did when they came and did the County energy efficiency <br />project. He stressed that if that would void their responsibility he <br />would not support the request. However if there wasn’t an issue then <br />he felt he could support the project up to a certain amount whether <br />is be $5,000.00 or something else. He questioned how Lower Dist. <br />Court’s need is different than the Morris Sorenson Building and <br />there heating/ventilation issues. Ms. Johnson explained that the <br />problem with the Morris Sorenson Building is that when they cut into <br />the walls it creates an asbestos issue, where the Lower Dist. Court <br />it is concrete walls. <br />
