AUG <br />m 31993 BOOK �® Ft1ur <br />Director Pinto asserted that when the roof leaks and there is <br />mildew growing, it means there is a problem. Just because it is <br />cleaned up once doesn't mean the problem is solved. You have to go <br />back and do it again and keep on doing it. <br />Administrator Chandler responded that the ceiling tiles.have <br />been taken down in order to check out the mildew. <br />Director Pinto argued that it has to go further than the <br />maintenance men going around thinking they are doing what needs to <br />be done. <br />Commissioner Eggert noted that when you enter the building on <br />Monday mornings, there is a strong mildew odor, and wondered if <br />turning down the air conditioning on the weekends was really cost <br />effective considering the increased growth of mold. <br />Director Pinto emphasized that is why we a complete study is <br />needed. Although the report states there is not a problem, the <br />summary of the report states there is a problem. <br />Administrator Chandler interjected that in each instance we <br />have done whatever the report said should be done. <br />Risk Manager Beth Jordan presented the following memo dated <br />7/23/93: <br />TO: James E. Chandler, County Adminis,rator <br />TSRU: Jack Price, Personnel Director�� <br />FROM: Beth Jordan, Risk Manage <br />DATE: 23 July 1993 <br />SUW CT: Air Quality Testing <br />We have recently become aware of a request for additional air <br />quality testing in the portion of the County Administration <br />Building occupied by Utility Services and the Solid Waste Disposal <br />District. To date, four '(4) indoor air quality tests have been <br />completed, and their findings are attached. <br />As you recall, the first indoor air quality test was performed in <br />the above -referenced office space in September, 1988, by the Indian <br />River County Public Health Unit in response to complaints of foul <br />odors, respiratory irritations and headaches. The tests, for <br />formaldehyde, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, benzene, styrene and <br />ammonia found these gases all within or below acceptable limits. <br />The microbial air density testing revealed values not detrimental <br />to health, with outside air test results showing concentrations at <br />four (4) times the levels found -in inside air.- organic vapor <br />monitor results showed hydrocarbon compounds tested were below <br />detrimental limits. <br />22 <br />
