Maintenance Report: Maintenance Facility Manager, Carla McAndrew reported to the committee on the following
maintenance issues:
1) WHV have received coils for the Courthouse chiller and have installed them.
2) H & N is currently working on the sump pump in the basement of the Administration Building. It has been a
reoccurring issue; they feel the problem may have something to do with the wiring.
3) The Courthouse lawn has been cleaned up and the Christmas decorating has been completed.
4) The Administration Building and Courthouse passed their fire alarm inspections.
5) Giese came to fix a leak in the dome of the Courthouse; they found some concrete that has chipped away
which may cause the glass to become loose.
6) The circuit card on the auxiliary boiler in the Courthouse burned out; the committee approved the
replacement of the card which will cost about $800.00.
7) After the City of Lancaster flushed the water pipes the water in the Administration Building was not the best
quality, since then the City flushed to pipes again and this improved the water quality.
8) Discussed installation of sliding glass windows for Child Support and Clerk of Court Offices. Suppliers are still
researching what type of window would be best for service, energy effectiveness and security.
9) The cracked windows in the Courthouse are being replaced, two had already been purchased, and one more
was needed at a price of $688.00.
10) Cell phones for the Maintenance Department were discussed. They have two cell phones at this time, five
more are needed. Phones are needed to make communication better for the Facility Manager to get a hold
of the maintenance employees and for on call purposes. This issue will be addressed at the Executive
Committee.

insurance. That may be something the committee would consider for the County.
Vehicles: None at this time.
IT: Jeff Anderson, IT Director introduces Deanna Steines, the new IT Technician for the IT Department.
Jeff gave the following updates from the IT Department:
1. Deanna and Dana are creating a new server for ADRC
2. TDS will no longer offer support for our phone system. Jeff does not see any issue for at least 3 – 4 years
at this time because Century Link offers service to our current system. TDS is offering an IP Managed
System which would be highly costly to the County. Century Link can supply the service and parts to
keep our phone systems up and running.
3. There was an update on 2007 soft ware on one of the servers at the Sheriff’s Dept. The cost was lower
than expected.
4. An update on old software was also done at Orchard Manor.
5. The Register of Deeds online service has had some delays; Jeff will be working on the problems.
Adjournment: Dwight Nelson, seconded by John Beinborn, made a motion to adjourn the meeting pursuant to the
next meeting on January 25, 2012 at 9:00 a.m. Motion carried.
