The Christian County Commission approved a budget amendment and received a project update on the on-site clinic and broader county campus development.

County Resource Management Director Todd briefed commissioners on construction progress for the campus clinic. He said replacement exterior wall panels will be provided by the manufacturer at no additional cost and that the issue should not delay the clinic opening. He reported the contractor released work orders after the county paid the vendor and that site work is slated to proceed when local crews return from storm-related repairs.

Todd described a natural gas routing issue requiring additional fill/berm work and said the county and contractor teams are assessing the quantity of material needed; that cost was described as an anticipated but deferred scope the county had previously planned to address in a later phase. Todd also described fiber installation discussions with Liberty Connect and said the county likely will fund the conduit cost (material estimate roughly $1,500–$2,000).

Staff said they have solicited quotes for a temporary generator to avoid service interruption if needed, and the county is looking at rental options through local vendors where possible. Todd and project managers said no major unforeseen change orders are expected beyond small items already identified.

Earlier on the agenda the commission approved a statutory-budget amendment that the county had posted for the required period; commissioners voted to adopt the amendment by voice vote.

Commissioners discussed possible cosmetic interim measures such as painting temporarily exposed exterior areas, but several voiced preference to avoid added expense if the replacement panels arrive promptly.

Staff noted other campus development context: parcel sales have generated revenue to fund construction phases, and the clinic is intended primarily for county employees as part of the county health program to reduce healthcare costs and employee co-pays.
