Center. Purchased from Exceptional Motorcar, the
vehicle cost $16,080.
9:25 a.m. Ron Cereghin, County Maintenance
Supervisor, met briefly with the Board regarding several issues. The group discussed room size and shelving
unit dimensions to add shelving in the KeyBank facility for additional storage
for the Records Center.
That area has reached its storage limits so additional storage areas
must be found. Moving County records
that must be permanently kept but are not often researched to either the
KeyBank facility or Defiance County East were discussed, but no decisions were
made.
Ron also reviewed information concerning the elevator at
Defiance County East. Upkeep and
maintenance must be performed monthly by a licensed elevator company; the
County currently utilizes Dover Elevator (now Thysson Krupp). Mr. Cereghin submitted two different
proposals from them for servicing DCE’s elevators. The Board approved the contract with Thysson
for $360.00 pending review by the Prosecutor.
The Board also
authorized Ron to fill several potholes at the Animal Shelter with stone and
then grade the lot.
