Emery County LBA ratifies final change orders, closes Huntington Senior Center project; Serta to manage facility and furnish interior
Summary
The Emery County Local Building Authority ratified final change orders and bills tied to the Huntington Senior Center, confirmed contractors are complete and turned keys to Serta, and discussed furnishing and landscaping using roughly $10,000 remaining from the project and other program funds.
The Emery County Local Building Authority on Sept. 2 ratified final change orders and payments for the Huntington Senior Center project and confirmed the county has closed out contractor and engineering work. Commissioner Dennis Warwood said the keys have been handed to Serta, which will manage the facility going forward.
The ratification covered final invoices, including a recent Johnson DeMille invoice, and board members were told approximately $10,000 remains from the project that could be used for landscaping. “The keys have been turned over to Serta, who’s gonna manage the facility, and we’re closed out with all of our contractors and engineers,” Warwood said.
Board members moved and approved the ratification of bills and the final change orders by roll call. Kevin Jensen moved to ratify the already-paid bills and the final change orders; Jordan Leonard seconded. Roll-call votes were recorded in favor of both motions.
Discussion at the meeting also addressed furnishing the center’s public areas. One member said they had explored a state procurement program that sources durable, commercial furniture (including pieces produced through correctional facility programs) as a possible option. Members noted the county would not be making the purchases directly; rather, Serta will select and pay for furnishings from leftover program funding. The board discussed a modest package — “maybe a couch, a loveseat, and two or three oversized chairs” — for the center’s lobby and multipurpose space.
County staff outlined the next administrative steps: run the remaining invoices through CID for a final reconciliation, apply leftover funds to landscaping, and close the project file. There was no formal new spending motion for furnishings; members agreed to move forward with selection under the program funding Serta will provide.
The LBA completed this business and moved on to other agenda items before adjourning.
