Council receives committee and liaison updates on housing, parking deck procurement and bridge work
Summary
Councilors reported on committee meetings: the Economic Development Committee heard an Easton Housing Authority presentation; procurement is narrowing firms for a county parking deck; the GPA audit was cleared but bridge punch-list items remain; Penn State Extension requested support for a $4 million state budget line item.
During committee and liaison reports April 3, council members provided brief updates on several county projects and agency requests.
The Economic Development Committee received a presentation from the Easton Housing Authority and the Human Services Committee was introduced to a new administrator at Greysdale and heard from the director of Human Services.
Procurement staff and council liaisons reported progress on selecting firms for the planned county parking deck: interviews are expected after narrowing the candidates to three construction-management firms and five architectural firms, with competitive pricing reported.
The GPA (General Projects Authority) reported a cleared audit but noted several outstanding punch-list items on a bridge project that were not completed by the March 31 deadline; the authority said it may declare the contractor in default if those items remain incomplete and is evaluating whether to withhold payment in April.
Councilors said they will send a letter to the county’s state legislative delegation in support of a $4 million request that Penn State’s Extension and Ag Council have made in the upcoming state budget.
No formal county action was taken at the meeting; these were informational liaison and committee reports.
