County staff present $1.95 million in preliminary estimates for courthouse and jail paving and roof work
Summary
Gila County staff outlined preliminary budgets for three capital projects: courthouse paving ($1,000,000), Globe jail paving ($500,000) and courthouse roof replacement ($450,000), with recommended funding from the Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund (LATCF) and the general fund.
Gila County capital projects staff presented preliminary budgets and funding recommendations for three facilities projects at a Board of Supervisors work session: Hill County Courthouse paving, Globe Jail paving and the Gila County Courthouse roof replacement.
Joseph (last name not provided), presenting the capital-project recommendations, listed estimated costs and suggested funding sources: a $1,000,000 estimate for the Hill County Courthouse paving project (recommended funding: LATCF), $500,000 for the Globe Jail paving project (LATCF), and $450,000 for the Gila County Courthouse roof replacement (a combination of general fund and LATCF). Joseph also noted the courthouse electrical infrastructure project is a board priority and is in early architectural design.
Board members asked technical and procurement questions. One supervisor raised concerns about a parking-space layout in the paving plan that could create sight-line problems for drivers backing out. Another asked whether the county could use local contractors; Joseph said local contractor use is likely for some projects (roofing) and possible for others (paving) depending on timeline and contractor capability.
County Manager Minlove (referred to in discussion) and staff explained LATCF stands for the Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund. Minlove told the board that about $5.5 million remained in LATCF at the time of the meeting; Joseph said the paving projects would use about half of that balance.
The board did not take formal action during the presentation. Supervisors offered design and construction suggestions (including roof pitch and parapet treatment) for staff to consider during final design and contracting.
