d <br />�;a A !!"', <br />County Administrator Jim Chandler recommended that we go out <br />to bid on an air quality study of the Utilities' and Solid Waste <br />offices in the Administration Building. Since 1988 we have <br />received continuing complaints from the employees about the air <br />quality and odor within those offices resulting in such symptoms as <br />burning eyes, running nose, headaches, nausea, etc. We have had <br />four air quality studies done since 1988; two were done by the <br />Health Department and two were done by outside agencies. In each <br />instance the studies found there was nothing above acceptable <br />limits in terms of air quality and in terms of the health of the <br />employees in that particular area of the building. A few <br />suggestions were made for improvement and we have done those things <br />which include fresh -air intake, removal of floor tiling, and <br />improvements in maintenance. As complaints were received, we would <br />respond to them internally through Building & Grounds and Risk <br />Management. Attempts were made to identify the problem and <br />determine what needed to be done t0; correct it, such as installing <br />a new air vent in a restroom. The last study was done in January, <br />1992, by an outside firm and they also found everything was within <br />acceptable limits. Their recommended modifications were made. <br />15 <br />BOOK 90 FAUE123 <br />
