Osceola County — County construction staff gave a detailed progress update on the county jail and presented monthly pay applications; supervisors approved the September pay app and later considered the October pay app.

The construction manager said workers removed and backfilled the basement hatch, poured concrete pads for a new gas meter, completed a temporary sidewalk and progressed on electrical refeed and transfer‑switch installation. Precast panels are being poured offsite; erection was projected to begin shortly after delivery with an anticipated five‑week erection period once materials arrive (SEG 786–857). Staff discussed generator sizing and whether existing courthouse power could be configured to be served by the new generator; that will require future research.

The board reviewed itemized invoices and recommended pay amounts. The September pay application was approved in the amount of $182,752.38 (motion and voice vote). Later in the meeting the board moved to approve the October payout application totaling $425,435.71 plus an additional $900 purchase‑order invoice; that motion passed with at least one recorded opposition noted in the transcript.

Board members also discussed procurement and change‑order tracking practices after staff reported using a local contractor for a $900 temporary sidewalk to control costs. The board asked staff for clearer documentation of change orders and revised contract values in minutes going forward.
