Summary

County staff requested acceptance of $150,000 into the public health building renovation account — $100,000 from the superior court general fund (largely ARPA leftover) and $50,000 from treatment services general fund — to re-add value-engineered items to the project scope via contractor change orders.

County manager (agenda lists Joy Lehi) asked the board on Dec. 18 to accept and transfer $150,000 into the public health building renovation project account so previously removed items can be reinstated through change orders.

Lehi said the renovations had to undergo value engineering to balance the budget, and that court services staff and treatment services offered funding to restore some removed features. Staff requested a $100,000 transfer from the superior court general fund (Lehi said much of that was leftover ARPA funding) and $50,000 from the treatment services general fund to allow the contractor to add offices and folding partitions back into the renovation scope.

Staff asked the board to authorize the county chairman to accept the deed and move the accounting transfers forward; commissioners agreed to move the item forward for formal action at the next voting session.
