Discussion with possible action to approve the purchase and installation of two (2) concrete slabs at the Webb County 1848 Event Center Peterson Building, for an amount not to exceed $13,800.00; and any other matters incident thereto. [Account #2031-1010-001-470000 (Capital Outlay)] Issue: The Peterson Building is currently used as a storage facility for tables, chairs, Tiffany chairs, and other equipment utilized for events at the 1848 Event Center. The building currently has a dirt floor, which causes stored equipment to become dirty and increases maintenance and cleaning needs. Installation of concrete slabs is necessary to provide a clean and suitable storage area and help protect and maintain County equipment. Solution: Approve the purchase and installation of two (2) concrete slabs at the Peterson Building in an amount not to exceed $13,800.00 to provide a clean and suitable surface for storing Event Center equipment. Result: The concrete slabs will improve storage conditions, keep tables, chairs, and other event equipment clean and free from dirt, reduce cleaning and maintenance needs, and help preserve County equipment.
