Structural safety of Highway Department building threatens it being condemned

By Janet Rail Publisher

The Highway De partment building which dates back to 55 or 60 years in con struction was inspected in September which may result in a the building being condemned for safety violations.

Commissioner Keith Jernigan, in giving his Building Committee re port, shared that OSHA could possibly condemn the building. Commis sioner Brad Hunt shared his concern for the condi tion of the buildings and was concerned that the most important thing for any department using

large equipment, was a place to repair it safely. He shared his concern that the building had come to this level of dis repair and that in the future the commission needed to better prepare for maintenance to pre vent any other incident going forward. Commis sioner Phillip Holling sworth also shared his concern and the commis sion was discussing if the department had a plan B in the event the building was condemed and had no place to go or repair highway equipment.

Mayor Larry Smith said we are in this position and have to address it and take action to repair

the current condition.

“After the meeting on October 17, I had con cerns about the structur al safety of the building, and whether it should be currently occupied. After reviewing the Local Gov ernment Insurance Pool safety survey, that was conducted on the 21st of September, I felt it was necessary to reach out to Jeremy Scallion who is a structural engineer,” said Smith.

Smith stated in a memo on Oct. 18, that Scallion would be in specting the Highway Department building this week and give an as sessment. “Providing a safe work environment

is paramount to ensure employee safety and re duce liability. I am in total agreement the Highway Department needs a new facility,” said Smith. Due to concerns the County Commission passed a motion to ap prove an assessment by an architect and engi neer on the condition of the building. Smith not ed that any construction over $50,000 requires a registered architect or engineer to design plans and specifications for a building. This takes time and also adds expense as there is no easy fix,” said Smith.

Vote Experience Over Politics JASON HIVELY

An assessment by the Local Government Insur ance Pool (LGIP) in Sep tember by Bryan Den nis, LGIP Senior Risk Control Representative shared the real possibli ty of liability or property damage that might result from failure to address a known exposure.

Dennis shared, the results of this survey are meant to assist the county in improving or to better understand their workplace safety, building safety, energy efficiency, maintenance priorities, hazard mitiga tion, property conserva tion, and general proper ty knowledge.

Additionally, this knowledge may be re quired for Underwriting purposes for the LGIP to better serve the mem ber. It was noted that the assessment may not reflect all issues present but had been complet ed to the best of LGIP's knowledge and for the portions of the property that had been made ac cessible.

Dennis recommended not storing items on the stairs. He also noted that fire extinguishers were soon to be serviced but recommended storing them in an area not ac cessible to foot traffic.

The surveyor noted

that the MSDS book needed to be updated which gives staff infor mation on how to op erate safely. That the grinder wheels did not meet space require ments form the work rest which should be 1/8 inch. The grinding wheel was damaged and the main tenance shop manager noted that the grinder was not in use. '

Forklift refresher train ing was due on March 4, 2024. Dennis noted cig arette butts in the shop and due to the exposure of flammables recom mended no smoking in the shop.

He noted rust build up on the I beams in the shop. The rust had evolved enough that the steel was flak ing away effecting the strength and integrity of the beams and rec ommended a further in spection by a qualified contractor to ensure the safety and stability of the beams.

Dennis noted that OSHA did not approve the use of PVC for com pressed air supply. PVC can become brittle over time and could crack or shatter under pressure and recommended ap proved plastic materials instead.

A few OSHA violations

were noted that needed to be addressed.

During the year, the county replaced a roof totaling $64,750. The of fice did not employ a reg istered architect or en gineer to design plans, specifications or esti mates on the new roof.

Section 62-2-107, Ten nessee Code Annotated, requires a registered architect or engineer to be employed whenev er construction projects are estimated to exceed $50,000. This deficiency is the result of a lack of management, oversight and failure to follow a state statute, according to the report.

Dennis clarified that the County Highway De partment fell under the same insurance policy as the County.

The fate of the High way Department building is up in the air. Based on these findings, the county will hire the ap propriate architect and engineers to inspect the building and need to prepare a Plan B in the event the building in condemned or insurance compromised.

It is safe to say that based on Dennis's in spection the county will need to assure staff have a safe place to work, no matter the cost.

For ve weeks now, I have been going door to door to speak to as many people as possible.

• I realize that there is no way I am going to be able to see everyone in McNairy County before the election. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free call me at 731-400-2886.

• I promise to do everything I can to keep the McNairy County Clerk’s o ce running as smoothly as it did with Ronnie Price and to make any improvements that are possible. Unfortunately Jennifer Rhodes’s experience was overlooked due to politics.

Put politics aside and vote for Jason Hively. Let my 34 years of experience in dealing with the clerk’s o ce work for you.

Vote Yes on Amendment 1 during early voting to protect the rights of Tennessee Workers

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Oct. 12, 2022 - Early voting begins next week on Wednesday, October 19 in Tennessee and four amendments to Tennes see's Constitution ap pear on the ballot.

Amendment 1, known as ‘right-to-work’ guaran tees that workers cannot be fired or penalized for joining or refusing to join a union.

In right-to-work states like Tennessee, no one can be forced to pay union dues in order to get or keep their job. But in states that don’t pro tect right-to-work, em ployees can be forced to

pay union dues even if they don’t want to be part of the union.

Governor Bill Lee and former Governor Bill Haslam are leading the campaign for Amend ment 1. They shared their support in a video and encouraged voters not to skip the issue on the ballot.

Right-to-work has been the policy of Ten nessee for 75 years and the benefits have been demonstrated in more jobs at higher wages thanks to the state’s fa vorable business envi ronment. Studies show that right-to-work states

have higher real income and employment growth than non-right-to-work states.

Tennesseans are re minded to Vote ‘Yes On 1’ during early voting and on election day. Voting Yes on 1 gives Tennes see’s right-to-work law extra protection in the state constitution, ensur ing that Tennessee work ers are constitutionally guaranteed their right to choose to join a union or not to join.

Let’s protect the rights of Tennessee workers. For more information, please visit TNRight 2Work.com.

Are we ever truly satisfied in life? Judging by the way many of us go about it, you might have a hard time believing that to be true. We are continuous ly searching for more – more money, a better job, the ideal partner, the perfect house, a new wardrobe, vacations…But the truth is, we can actually find satisfaction in life, and it hap pens to peak at different times for different people. So, when do people find satisfaction?

52% of respondents stated that the pandemic increased satisfaction with life.

when the average American believed they had attained peak life satisfaction - happi ness with the trajectory of their lives, jobs, friends, family, and relationships.

They surveyed 3,442 re spondents aged 65 and over, discovering that the average Tennessean finds their peak life satisfaction at the age of 41. This is compared to a na tional average of age 44. Tra ditionally, by that time, many have a family, an established career, a stable home, and hopefully, a decent income which they can spend on little luxuries such as vacations, a car, dining out, etc.

The survey did reveal that there were some interesting variations between states. Lucky Marylanders reached this point at the relatively young age of 37 (though that does seem to suggest that it’s a bit downhill from there...). And comparatively, Vermont ers seem to wait a bit longer to feel content with their lot - on average, that isn’t until they reach 63. Worth the wait though, hopefully!

National Forest Products week is Oct. 16-22

By Jai Templeton Contributor

The U.S. Congress has recognized the importance of the forest products industry since 1960. That year Congress set aside the third week of October to reflect on the importance of the value of forests, the importance of good land stewardship and responsible and sustain able management of for est lands.

The Tennessee De partment of Agriculture along with the Tennessee Forestry Association cel ebrates all week as well. 83% of Tennessee forest land is privately owned. The importance of a strong forest products market is crucial for land owners who want to keep their forests as forests.

According to the Ten nessee Department of Agriculture up to sev en percent of McNairy County's economic ac tivity is traceable to the forest products indus try. Forestry contributes

$4.5 billion directly to Tennessee's economy. This number grows to a $21.7 billion total impact or 2.9% of Tennessee's total economy.

The Tennessee For estry Association is a notable voice for the pro tection and promotion of the state's timber indus

try. The group works with state and local officials to ensure that their is un derstanding and support for the industry.

McNairy County is

home to an active and diverse pool of landown ers who make up the McNairy County Forestry Landowners Association. The group typically meets twice per year and has re ceived statewide recog nition for their promotion of the forest resources of McNairy County.
