Engineering director highlights deer management grant and 2023 paving contract closeout
Summary
The Department of Engineering, Public Works and Facilities reported 13 resolutions on the agenda, including a grant to offset deer-management expenses and a change-order increase of about $440,000 to close out a 2023 paving contract.
The Union County Department of Engineering, Public Works and Facilities told commissioners it had 13 resolutions on the agenda, and staff described two items in more detail: funding to offset deer‑management expenses and a change order to close out a 2023 paving contract.
Commissioner Mirabella praised Director Palakkae and his team for the annual deer‑management program and for securing a grant to offset associated costs. In response to a question from a commissioner about change order No. 1 in agenda item 2, the director said the increase—about $440,000—was for the closeout and final payment on a 2023 paving contract (referred to in the discussion as Smithsandy, resolution number 2).
Staff presented the department’s resolutions for commissioners’ consideration and offered to answer questions. No formal vote on the engineering resolutions was taken during the agenda‑setting session.
