2009 Annual Report - Belknap County

proud of. It was a special project with great results that benefited the residents as
well as those who built it. Craig said, “I was privileged to be able to give back to
Belknap County and at the same time do what I like best”.
In early summer, the parking lot was rebuilt and a handicap space added for access
to the Sheriff’s Department. The project took about three weeks to complete and
we are very pleased with the finished product.
Commissioner’s Office-UNH Extension Service
A few special projects were completed in the Administrative wing. The removal
of a separation wall and door in the finance office to open up more space was
done. A new office was designed and built to better serve the public by inmates
at the county jail.
Old underground wiring was replaced to the sign located next to the main entrance
to County Drive. Over 800’ of conduit was laid to protect the wires from
the elements and to facilitate longevity.
In Conclusion
We are continuing our policy of getting the best possible value, dollar for dollar
from contractors, vendors and suppliers. We entered into several new agreements
in 2009 with vendors and suppliers, which resulted in even more savings throughout
the year. The maintenance department is constantly looking for ways to save
without jeopardizing quality and safety within our systems. We will continue in
2010 striving to find more economic solutions to maintenance and repair projects
throughout the county.
I respectfully submit this annual report of the Belknap County Maintenance Department
on the 22nd day of January 2010
