Mr.
Parker asked the committee if they had received his report.
Mr.
Waldbauer informed the committee that the report was on the front
table if they had not received it.
Mr.
Parker said he would run through the report.
He asked Mr. Waldbauer if he had any questions about it since
he had the document.
Mr.
Waldbauer asked what the Rabies Clinic was.
Mr.
Parker stated that it was a free rabies clinic held at the
County
Office
Building
every year. He continued
that in June he had three days with full staff.
He stated that the custodial staff had done daily cleaning at
the Court House, Horizon House and Recycling.
The custodian staff assisted with the moving prep downstairs
and the DA’s office. They
also supplied some of the cleaning supplies for the 4th of
July celebration. The HVAC
staff maintained working order of the system.
The maintenance staff has been out to the
Cortlandville
Training
Center
, but also managed to complete 54 work orders.
The staff also kept the lawns mowed, conducted generator test,
and moved voting machines. Mr.
Parker informed the committee that the new voting machines are here
and located at
99 Main Street
. He stated that the
Election Commissioners have expressed a concern with the room being
too humid. Pete Fowler,
the HVAC technician, conducted a test and recorded the humidity ranges
at the facility to range from 42% to 54% at a constant temperature of
70 degrees because the air conditioning was running.
Mr. Parker stated that he had reviewed Sequoia specifications;
according to those the humidity in the room cannot be above 85%.
He stated that 32 degrees Fahrenheit to 104 degrees Fahrenheit
is acceptable with an exception of minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit in the
short term. He is
expecting when moving the machines in November there might be an
instance when the temperature is lower than 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
He stated that he had reported this information to Mr.
Schrader.
Mr.
Loomis questioned if there was enough power in the room.
Mr.
Parker responded that the room was on a separate box.
He stated that they needed two 20-amp breakers for all the
machines.
Mr.
Waldbauer stated that the climate that Mr. Parker had described didn’t
sound like it needed any climate control.
Mr.
Parker stated that according to the information that he received,
there are monthly and quarterly tests.
Understand that if it is 90 degrees outside and the humidity is
high that there are still people working within the building.
He stated that for staff comfort and the machines climate
control would be necessary.
Ms.
Tytler asked Mr. Parker to clarify his lack of staff for the month of
June.
Mr.
Parker responded that the absences were a variety of things ranging
from vacation to illnesses.
Ms.
Tytler wanted to make sure Mr. Parker had adequate staff.
Mr.
Loomis inquired how large Mr. Parker’s staff is.
Mr.
Parker replied that he had a total of 18 individuals on his staff.
Ms.
Tytler inquired who authorized the vacation time and whether the
absences impacted work completed.
Mr.
Parker responded that he authorized the time and tries not to let the
absences impact the work, but usually a day before a holiday and after
a holiday there are usually not a lot of people in the building.
Then there are cases in which the employee has called in or has
had a family emergency, which he has no control over.
Mr.
Loomis inquired about the bus shelter.
Mr.
Parker projected completion to be towards the end of the month, but
the concrete is currently still in curing stages.
________________________________________________________________________________
Ms.
Tytler inquired about the closing process for the DMV site.
Mr.
Parker stated that he could not answer.
Mr.
Daniels stated that he had a conversation with Liz Burns.
She had said that the owner of the property was out of the
country. Therefore testing
could not be completed. It
is expected to happen mid August.
________________________________________________________________________________
Mr.
Loomis inquired about the status of the
Elm Street
property.
Mr.
Suben stated that they are in the process.
They have received the appraisal; just received the abstracts
back and plan to proceed.
Mr.
Parker inquired if the offer was approved by the legislature.
Mr.
Suben stated that the offer had to be approved before they could move
forward.
________________________________________________________________________________
Mr.
Loomis informed the committee that he had received the drafts from
Joe Maryak
for the proposal for the Aging facility.
He said that he expected a proposal of the same for the DMV
site. At that time he will
call a special meeting for the Buildings and Grounds committee.
Stated that the proposals for the DMV would be close to the
same scope. Asked if the
committee would rather have a meeting, days prior to legislative
session or a day prior to session.
Mr.
Williams suggested that a separate meeting would be better.
Mr.
Daniels stated that a separate meeting would be more beneficial as
more Legislators would be available to ask questions.
