Although the final design and specifications for Pottawatomie County’s new Public Works Fleet Maintenance Facility have been completed, approval from the county commission will have to wait at least one more week.
“Commissioner (Pat) Weixelman asked a question about one of the particular pieces of the design relative to the wall design,” Peter Clark, the director of the public works department, said. “It has a CMU wall sitting on a slab foundation with a trench footing underneath that and he wanted some more detail about how the vapor barrier would work, specifically in that wall system so that it would keep thermal penetration and keep the condensation from happening inside the building.”
Commissioner Weixelman also asked for information on the capital-improvement-plan balance and end-of-year projections on transfers that could provide more funding for the project.
The commission decided to move $300,000 to the Capital Improvement Plan fund from the Road and Bridge Equipment fund and to keep $600,000 in the public works equipment reserve.
