Ally Polsoy, director of administrative services, told the commissioners the fairgrounds infrastructure project with Crestline Construction is about 95% complete and that a January snowstorm required emergent sewer and potable water repairs. "We're about 95% complete with the project, and I'm here today just to discuss a change order and an extension to the contract, due to a shift in scope of work," Ally said, adding the county worked with FEMA and was awarded "close to $230,000" to cover some emergent repairs.
Ally described the change order as covering completed unforeseen repairs and a few added items to accommodate fair events, including electrical work for grant‑funded Connex boxes and the addition of RV pedestals near the caretaker's home to support facilities staff during major events. She said final invoicing from Crestline is not yet complete but that the FEMA award and project funds should cover the change order amount.
Commissioners discussed timing and project status; Ally said most work is complete and the goal is to have the site finished in time for the county fair. Commissioner Phil moved to ratify and revise the scope of work and to extend the Crestline contract through Dec. 31, 2025; a second was recorded and the motion passed by unanimous vote.
Action: Board ratified the change order and extended Crestline Construction's contract through Dec. 31, 2025. Staff said they will process the final Crestline invoice and apply FEMA funds as applicable.
