Commissioners approve final credit on courthouse project, approve minutes and adjourn
Summary
Board approved Change Order No. 19 (a $9,982.05 credit) on the courthouse addition, noted the project total of $1,474,008.41 funded from ARPA/other non-local public funds, approved past meeting minutes and adjourned.
The Jefferson County Board moved to finalize a recently negotiated change order on the county courthouse project and took a few brief procedural votes before adjourning.
Staff gave a summary of the courthouse addition and related changes to treasurer and assessor offices, reporting a total project cost of $1,474,008.41 and stating the funds came from American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) or similar non-local public funds rather than local property taxes. The board was told the project had negotiated credits and that final change order accounting produced a credit of $9,982.05.
A motion was made and seconded to approve Change Order No. 19, described in the meeting as a $9,982.05 credit. The chair called for roll call to record the approval. Several commissioners publicly praised the architect and contractor — MBW (architect) and ESI (contractor) — and singled out Scott Nielsen for his work in helping negotiate issues.
The board then moved and seconded to approve commissioner meeting minutes for 01/22/2024 and 05/28/2024, called roll, and subsequently made and seconded a motion to adjourn.
What happened next: the meeting ended with the routine approvals recorded and no additional substantive board actions taken.
