Summary
Atascosa County Commissioners Court directed staff to place two items on next Monday's agenda: authorize the architect to negotiate the bid for the county medical examiner facility and approve change orders for the sheriff's office, with commissioners indicating ARPA funds would cover the work.
Atascosa County Commissioners Court instructed staff to place two items on the agenda for the next Monday meeting: authorize the county architect to negotiate the bid amount for a medical examiner's facility and approve change orders for the sheriff's office while equipment is onsite.
The presiding judge said the architect should be instructed to negotiate the bid amount for the medical examiner's facility and come up with a plan. The court also directed that change orders for the sheriff's office be added so the work can be done "while the equipment's here," and the judge said the county should be in good shape to use American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for those items.
Commissioners asked to keep the next meeting's agenda short unless an emergency item requires inclusion. No formal votes on either the medical examiner facility negotiation or the sheriff's office change orders were taken at the special-call meeting; both items were listed for the upcoming meeting for formal consideration.
