RANDOLPH, Utah. May 1, 2013. Jon
Nichol reported to the Commission on the remodeling that is being done on the
County Building. The window wells were
opened. One in the front is deep and
could be a place where someone could hide.
It could compromise the jail. In
addition, there needs to be an egress from the sheriff’s office through one of
the windows. That window could have a
grate placed on it that could only be opened from the inside if escape through
there were ever necessary. Currently,
none of the windows meet code.
Water issues and mold have
all been taken care of. The rain gutter
system works quite well and is adequate.
There are some repairs that need to be made on it in two separate
places. All of the down spouts need to
be replaced and either a heat coil system with a separate switch or heat tape
will be used to keep gutters and down spouts open.
The foundation looks
good. The window wells need to be filled
and planted over. Any soil next to the
building needs to slope away from the building for better drainage.
Nichol estimated that about
$1,500 would be needed for plants and shrubs.
He suggested some plants that hold their form and do not require a great
deal of maintenance. Those for under the windows only grow to about three feet
in height. The others between the
windows grow much taller.
A new sprinkler system needs
to be installed. Separate bids will be
obtained for that. The county can either
use local companies or go to Home Depot or Lowes for what they need. Some top soil will need to be brought in and
will cost about $240 a load.
Mr. Nichol was asked to write
up his comments and plans and get them to the commission so they can look them
over and make some decisions.
