Summary

Committee members said the larger county building project was scaled down due to costs and that several size and budget figures were not specified in the meeting. Separately, the E-911 building has walls and a poured floor and is expected to be roofed by mid-November to allow winter work.

Committee members discussed the county building project and said it had been scaled down because of rising costs. One committee member reported varying square-footage figures (comments referenced 5,000 square feet and a larger prior estimate), and another said the existing facility measures about 4,700 square feet. The meeting did not include specific budget figures or a formal vote related to the county building project; those numbers were not specified in the discussion.

In a separate report, the E-911 project team said the building walls are up and the floor has been poured; contractors have installed rebar and poured concrete in blockwork for the storm bunker. The report projected roofing work to begin by mid-November so the structure can be enclosed for winter and interior work can continue.

The committee had no further action on either project at the meeting; a formal county building project report was not included in the packet and the committee did not record new design or budget approvals during the session.
