Progress on bringing the Adams Office Building into compliance with the State Fire Marshall’s guidelines filled the bulk of the recessed meeting of the Cannon County Commission. Three areas are in need of correction, decommission of the sprinkler system, the cane fiber tiles and the fire alarm connected and functioning.
County Executive Brent Bush reported that the work on capping the sprinkler heads in underway. At the current rate all of the heads could be sealed by mid-March.
Contractors reviewed the cane fiber issue with the building. Three expressed an interest in the project, so far only one has submitted a bid. The contractor believes it will take 44-thousand dollars to seal the tiles with a flame-retardant material.
The fire alarm system is awaiting a review from the contractor who provides the same services for the county’s schools.
The next deadline for the county is in March and it was the consensus of the commissioners they believe a positive update will be reported to the State Fire Marshall.
