Courthouse/Building Maintenance

The general maintenance and repair of the Parish’s public buildings are provided for under this division.  Since the early 1990’s, the streamlining of maintenance operations and the do-it-yourself better attitude have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in repair and maintenance costs.  Once a small division of operations staffed mainly as building custodians and small mechanical repair workers, this division now boasts a workforce of master carpenters, HAVC professionals, electricians, cement finishers, and skilled building custodians.  The total staff of 21 employees oversee, repair, remodel, and clean over 35 Parish-owned buildings valued at over $18 million. With an average annual budget of over $1 million, work crews continue to be equipped with the necessary tools and work equipment to provide for the proper operations and maintenance of Parish buildings while maintaining the highest level of safety and exceptional service.
