8/13/26 Capital Outlay Committee

The Coffee County, Tennessee, Capital Outlay Committee met on August 13, 2026. The committee received project updates: the Health Department drive-through canopy is expected to be completed and paid for before the end of September so the state can cover the cost, with Boyce and Ballard handling the work. The Animal Shelter is complete, with final documentation pending after an attorney meeting. At the Justice Center, the roofing contractor accepted responsibility for the roof-related damage and remediation; the roof was reported about 30% complete, while repairs in an office were about 70% complete and awaiting custom countertops. No new contract award or spending authorization was reported for these projects.

Members discussed the Manchester ambulance station parking lot, which is deteriorated and reportedly damaging ambulances. The lowest quote previously received was $90,000 in 2024; the project was not included among approved capital projects, and members said they would revisit it at a future meeting. The committee approved Brad Meadows’ request to clean Corporal Brian James Schoff’s gravestone, with no cost stated. The agenda was approved as amended to add his item, and the committee also voted to schedule its next meeting for the 10th. No bid approval or new budget allocation was identified.
