Commissioners briefed on $1.2M Search and Rescue building and permitting timeline
Summary
Staff said the county’s planned Search and Rescue building is estimated around $1.2 million, will draw heavily on fund balances and impact fees, and is awaiting a building permit and further budget alignment.
County staff told commissioners that the planned Search and Rescue building is expected to be a major capital draw on the relevant fund balance and that current allotments will be largely consumed by that project.
Staff reported the estimated cost at roughly $1,200,000 and said the project has used carryover funds from prior fiscal years; a roughly $236,000 carryover from FY23 was noted as approved to increase the line item for the current year. Construction progress was described as underway in preparatory work — excavation and footings — and staff said a building permit remained outstanding; footings and additional excavation work were reported as nearing completion.
Officials said they plan to present the road/bridal (sic) and Search and Rescue funding together at a future meeting to show how impact fees, carryover and other funding sources would work in combination rather than taking up the detailed capital-funding discussion in the current session.
No formal appropriation or binding direction to award contracts was made during the discussion; commissioners directed staff to prepare a separate agenda item with combined capital funding context at a future meeting.
