Kim Keckritz came to the meeting for presentation of the Oak Hill report. Will Stajduhar of Holland Construction presented the Evergreen Pointe construction update. Mr. Stajduhar said the project is nearing completion, the punch list has been reviewed, and they only lost fourteen and one-half days due to inclement weather.

There is also $77,902.49 in retainage outstanding at this time. Ms. Keckritz said she is pleased to note that at this time the County has not had to borrow any money on this project.
Ms. Keckritz provided the monthly Oak Hill financial report. She said the June 7 Block Party went well, and many positive comments were received from the folks who toured the new
Evergreen Pointe facility. She said part of the nursing staff has been converted to 12-hour shifts, and things seem to be working well with that.
Ms. Keckritz said there are problems with one of the Oak Hill buses, and she would like to start the process of acquiring a new bus. Commissioner Wittenauer said he would make contact with Jessica at the Monroe-Randolph Transit District to see if they could assist with procuring a bus that could be used at Oak Hill.
Ms. Keckritz said she has been following all of the County activity regarding the change to IT support for the County offices. She said she was very concerned, because after going through some problem times, the Nursing Home is now settled in with a firm that is doing a good job supporting the Nursing Home IT needs. She said she did not want to see that change. Chairman Elmore said he appreciated Ms. Keckritz’s concerns, and the Commissioners would keep that in mind as they review the situation and make a decision on which way to go in the future with the County’s IT support.
