Board approves EMTOC concept design and authorizes architect contract
Summary
County staff presented design options and two proposed sites for the EMTOC project; the board approved the design concept and later authorized the architect contract, with the county manager authorized to sign the agreement.
County staff updated the Washington County Board of Commissioners July 1 on the EMTOC project, including site-selection progress (two proposed sites: near MTW and near Main Street), proposed design, budget and grant funding status. Staff recommended the board approve the proposed design in concept and authorize entering a design contract subject to attorney-recommended modifications.
Commissioner Carol V. Phelps moved to approve the proposed design in concept; Commissioner John C. Spruill seconded and the motion carried unanimously. Later in the meeting, after a closed-session period, the board approved the EMTOC architect contract with the stipulation that County Manager/County Attorney Curtis S. Potter sign the contract.
Jason Squires noted soil sampling and longer-than-expected timelines for completing contracts with Weyerhaeuser; staff said the design contract should be finalized with attorney-recommended modifications before execution.
Ending: The board approved the concept design and authorized the architect contract subject to the county attorney’s final changes; staff will proceed with contract finalization and site studies as noted in the project update.
