Platte County Commission on Aug. 11 approved a $24,287 change order to upgrade an outdated fire‑suppression system beneath the county prosecutor’s office, County Administrator Wes Medgar told commissioners at a special meeting that ran about five minutes starting at 10:17 a.m.

County Administrator Wes Medgar said the change order is part of the prosecutor’s tenant‑finish project and is needed because “underneath our prosecutor's office is a certain elements of the sheriff's office. And there's a fire suppression system that is, out of date.” He told the commission the contract with the vendor Access will “increase this by $24,287 to complete that work.”

The project is funded under the federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), the agenda says. Commissioner Danaher moved to approve the agenda item for the change order; the motion passed on a recorded roll call vote of 3-0.

Discussion at the meeting was brief and focused on completing the tenant‑finish work and bringing systems up to current standards; no further direction or follow‑up tasks were recorded during the meeting.

The commission handled the item as a single action: approval of change order number 9 for project 2025CO010 ARPA. The motion passed unanimously (3-0) on a roll call. The record does not specify additional timeline details for when the fire‑suppression replacement will be performed.
