Summary of Request

The week of August 26th, 2018 a large limb fell from the very large Valley Oak tree at the southwest corner of the Sheriff’s substation lot on Lenore Street in Willits damaging a fence. An arborist has assessed the tree, and recommends removal.  A large oak adjacent to the substation building was found to be in good condition but in need of weight reduction. This project will include the work needed on both trees. An arborist evaluation of the Magnolia trees at the courthouse was conducted upon receipt of public concerns and removal of dead wood over 1” has been recommended. On October 1, staff identified cooling problems in the Administration Center server room; it was determined that two of the three cooling compressors had failed. This project includes various temporary measures to maintain acceptable temperatures for the servers, replacement of the failed compressors and the installation of Delta temperature controls, sensors and monitoring equipment for the server room cooling systems.

Annual Budgeting for the Capital Improvement Fund includes allocations for maintenance and upkeep projects that are not know when the budget is created. In this year these have been divided into general categories for greater clarity; the categories are:

 

Unanticipated Capital Projects

$50,000  ($0 remaining)

Painting and Exterior Maintenance

$50,000 ($10,000 remaining)

County-Wide Tree Removal Program

$30,000

Roof Repairs

$100,000

ADA Improvements

$25,000 ($5,000 remaining)

HVAC Systems Upgrades and Replacement

$100,000 (Approx. $66,000 remaining)

 

Individual projects are created as the need arises and budgeted from these allocations based on estimates from the Facilities and Fleet Division. Facilities and Fleet recommends budgeting for these projects from the County wide tree removal program and HVAC upgrade/replacement programs.

Direct staff to identify alternative funding sources for these projects.
