Cumberland County board to hold special meeting after receiving updated Crown Events Center construction documents
Summary
Commissioners received updated AIA contract documents and a revised GMP estimate for the Crown Events Center; the board said it will hold an open special meeting within 48 hours to review the materials and discuss next steps on a $155,000,000-plus project.
Chairman told commissioners they received a packet of documents about the Crown Events Center — including an updated AIA document and an updated GMP 3 construction estimate that reflects a pause in work and recent tariff and inflation effects — and said the board will schedule a special open meeting later this week to review the materials.
The chairman said the materials arrived in commissioners' packets the morning of the meeting and that some commissioners were seeing portions of the submission for the first time. He said the board will pull available members and aim for a Wednesday or Thursday special meeting (48-hour notice permitting), and that the full board will consider the materials in open session rather than returning them to the Crown Committee.
Commissioner Tyson asked whether any documents might be subject to attorney-client privilege because the county is working through unresolved disputes on a downtown center. The county attorney said he had reviewed the documents and that the package was not an attorney-client privileged matter for the materials being provided to the board for consideration.
Chairman described the Crown Complex work as a public matter with more than $155,000,000 at stake and said he preferred as much public dialogue as possible; he also instructed staff to announce the date for a special meeting after conferring with commissioners.
Ending: Commissioners and staff said they will disseminate the received documents to interested parties and schedule a special open meeting within the 48-hour notice window to review the updated construction pricing and scope information.
