Armory renovation moves forward; county cites $775,000 bid and May start date
Summary
Officials said an armory renovation bid of about $775,000 is in hand and budgeting is underway with a projected May 1 start; contractors delayed work because of weather and memorial placement and parking logistics remain under discussion. The commission noted an upcoming vote on a separate settlement next week.
Unidentified Speaker 1 updated the commission on the armory: Gerald Perez reported a $775,000 bid and the contractor is building a budget; Speaker 1 said work could start around May 1 pending the contractor's schedule.
Speaker 1 described recent site activity: contractors were delayed by snow and returned to begin work; steps and exterior repairs are underway and the contractor for structural work will start the following Monday. Speaker 1 said interior repairs and budget items are being finalized and the county expects substantial work on interior spaces once the contract starts.
Participants discussed memorial placement and parking. Speaker 1 said a veteran memorial will not be moved immediately and suggested locating a new, accessible placement for flags and the memorial during construction. "I think they deserve a good place to have it," Speaker 1 said of veterans and the memorial.
Speaker 6 referenced an unresolved lawsuit settlement negotiation (offers discussed in the $7,500–$8,500 range) and said the issue will be put to a vote next Tuesday. The transcript does not contain the result of that vote.
The commission closed by reiterating that the armory project "is going forward" and by moving to adjourn.
