More problems, more financial difficulties become apparent in needed heat, air and possible asbestos mitigation. Damage apparent, Immediate problem resolution required.
Monday's Commission sessions were long. In order to make the Scottsboro City Council Regular Session I left at 1 hour and 20 minutes into the Work Session, 5:50PM. Work Session Agenda item 8 and the Regular Meeting were not recorded.
All asbestos insulation was supposed to be removed from the Jackson County Courthouse. It was recommended many years ago this equipment be replaced.
The air/heating and cooling system problems becomes evident in the Johnson Controls presentation. Two years ago presentation, the problem did not just magically disappear, it has become more serious due to neglect. This project cost, $1.1 million dollars, 2 years ago. https://arklite.blogspot.com/2017/10/jackson-county-commission-meeting.html
There is insulation over a series of pipes shown in the presentation where coverings appear suspicious, probable asbestos. Asbestos was a problem in the courthouse, all should have been removed. Unfortunately, it was previously discovered not all the asbestos which was supposed to be removed per contracts was removed. At least one county maintenance services employee became sick from various dangerous materials he was ordered to improperly remove, asbestos being one.
Per a previous historical interview it was learned the county/insurance entered into a secret agreement to settle out of court with the plaintiff/former employee sickened by the illegal, improper removal, per order by county officials to remove hazardous materials controlled by state and federal law.
