Commission briefed on $330,000 CIP amendment request for adult-detention camera and lock project
Summary
Staff asked commissioners for budget authority to cover remaining change-order authority on an ARPA-funded adult-detention camera and lock remodel, requesting $330,000 from CIP reserve (historical property-tax/CIP savings).
County staff briefed the commission on a requested amendment to the capital-improvement program (CIP) to provide additional budget authority for the adult-detention camera and lock project.
Anil (county staff) said the request is for budget authority of $330,000.78 to cover remaining change-order authority not previously requested. He said some administrative change-order authority up to 6% had been used and the project was originally ARPA-funded, but the requested remainder would come from the CIP reserve created from savings in cash-funded projects. "So this will come from that CIP reserve from savings from past projects. So not our funds," Anil said. He added the reserve balance was roughly $700,000 at the time of the briefing.
Why it matters: The request would provide explicit budget authority to cover prior-authorized change orders and avoid a separate contingency draw on the current operating budget. Staff clarified the funds are historical property-tax dollars moved into the CIP reserve under county CIP policy; the request does not represent new ARPA funding.
Next steps: The commission was briefed and asked questions; staff said they would proceed with the amendment and present the item for formal action on the upcoming agenda.
Ending: Commissioners did not block the request during agenda review; staff will bring the CIP amendment for formal approval on the regular agenda.
