County staff recommended beginning professional services to develop Phase 2 of courthouse renovations, which will include roofing work and an assessment of the courthouse clock tower.
A county presenter identified as Stewart said the next step is to work with the judge and county team to identify buildings and specific work items, then return with measures, cost projections and timelines. Stewart said the county likely would begin contracting in July or August after completing assessments and presenting options.
Stewart described the immediate work as developing infrastructure-phase plans with architects and engineers and specifically mentioned engaging a qualified design and building contractor to complete Phase 2 of courthouse renovations.

No formal vote on contracting was recorded in the provided excerpt; the exchange in the transcript frames the recommendation as a next step in project development. Staff said they would come back to the board with a detailed assessment and proposed contract timeline once scope and costs were refined.
Ending: County staff expect to return to the commissioners with a packaged cost and timeline; contracting likely would follow in mid-summer after board review of the assessment.
