POMEROY–The Port of Garfield County Commissioners approved a price proposal of $10,490 for the Port building fire alarm system repair, and were advised of vandalism at the Pataha Creek RV Park during the February 1, 2022 meeting.

The Port accepted a price proposal from Johnson Controls to replace parts of the fire alarm system in Port building. The repairs needed are replacing the valve, the air maintenance control valve, the air maintenance device, and the riser. The estimated work required is two men working for 10 hours. The proposal from Johnson Controls is for $10,490.

The Pataha Creek RV Park restrooms were vandalized on the night of January 31. Lotion was spread over surfaces, heat left turned up in spite of signs requesting turning it down, and feces left under a shower mat. The culprit’s identity is not known. Due to the vandalism, the restroom, shower, and laundry facilities have been locked up and will remain so until future notice.

Repairs to the United States Forest Service building after the fire in January have been finished.
