GOLDENDALE — Klickitat County commissioners meeting set a new record for brevity at their Nov. 3 morning workshop session, clocking in at 13 minutes and 30 seconds.
There were a few items of interest. Public Works Director Jeff Hunter reported a problem with the heat at the jail.
He told commissioners that the jail gets heat from two boilers, the type of heating that was replaced at the courthouse years ago. “Boiler one is down,” Hunter said. “They’re coming to repair that. Boiler two stayed functioning, but the system that delivers water to it went down. Our guys were up pretty late Saturday night, but got it working.”
He added that contractors were expected hopefully this week to get boiler one up, then refurbish boiler two again.
Asked if the jail needs a new heating system, Hunter replied a sincere, “Yes.”
He also said the county had received funds from the Volkswagen diesel emissions settlement, but they had to be used for diesel replacement. None of the county buses qualified, but a county forklift did and will get the makeover.
