Kootenai County justice center nears completion; open house set for July 10
Summary
County building and grounds director Jeff Fuller told commissioners the justice building is nearing completion, with final punch-list concrete work, furniture installation through July 9 and an open house on July 10. A moving-company quote will appear on the business-meeting agenda and would be paid from the FF&E budget.
Jeff Fuller, Kootenai County director of building and grounds, told the Board of County Commissioners on June 24 that the new justice building is approaching completion and that contractors are finishing punch-list items.
"Bouton is just working on punch list items, and doing quite well with that," Fuller said, adding that much of the remaining work is concrete in the lower-level courtyard between buildings. He said Level 3 is complete, the lower level is nearly complete, and a large furniture delivery scheduled this week will furnish levels 1 and 2 and be assembled through July 9.
Fuller said the county plans an open house on July 10 from 3 to 6 p.m. to allow the public and partner agencies to tour the facility. He also noted that the business-meeting agenda that afternoon includes a quote from Devrise Moving Company, a vendor the county proposes to hire to move departments into the new building. Fuller said that cost would be paid from the furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) budget and was budgeted.
Commissioners asked clarifying procedural questions about how the moving contract and other small expenditures would be finalized on the business-meeting agenda. No formal action on the moving quote was recorded in the status-update meeting; Fuller said county staff would bring the necessary documents to the business meeting for execution.
The update contained concrete timing details for two implementation milestones: furniture assembly through July 9 and the July 10 open house. Commissioners did not raise objections to the timeline and asked only for the usual procurement paperwork to appear at the business meeting.
