Speaker 5 outlined needed work at the outdoor recreation center: constructing a hard porous surface around the playground (the county chose concrete), raising finish grade adjacent to the playground and splash pad, completing the middle sidewalk to connect the concession stand area to the basketball court, installing conduit and electrical work to avoid future trenching, and adding a perimeter fence around the erosion pond. "The Parks and Rec Association received a donation this week of $267,500 from the former volunteer rescue squad," Speaker 5 said, and the presenter stated the donation "will pay for this change order in its entirety."
Speaker 1 moved to approve change order number 3 with Walls Construction; Speaker 2 seconded and the motion passed by voice vote. The transcript records the change order cost in a phrasing that appears as "$14,747,309 and 68¢"; the presenter also used shorthand and large-group commentary, and the exact numeric formatting in the transcript is unclear. The board then approved supplemental appropriation number 20 (transcript references the figure using segmented numerals: "1 47 3 0 9 68"). The transcript shows the treasurer has received the donation and that the appropriation will reflect that receipt.
Approvals were recorded by voice vote; roll-call tallies were not read into the meeting record. The board directed staff to move forward with the change order and to have the treasurer establish the appropriation reflecting the donation.
Next steps: staff will finalize the change order implementation with Walls Construction and update project accounting to reflect the donation-funded appropriation.
