Commissioners forward $1.68 million Justice Center design request to county council
Summary
Harrison County commissioners voted July 7 to forward a $1.68 million additional appropriation request for Justice Center design costs to the county council for approval; the motion passed unanimously and will be reviewed by the council.
County Auditor Sara Burdick told the Harrison County Commissioners on July 7 that RQAW provided design costs for a proposed Justice Center renovation and requested an additional appropriation of $1,680,000 to cover those design expenses. Commissioners voted 3-0 to forward the request to the county council for consideration.
The request was presented as a design-cost appropriation only; Burdick said the amount was tied to the proposal provided by RQAW. No final contract award or construction funding was approved at the meeting — the commissioners’ action was to send the appropriation request to the county council for its review and possible approval.
Commissioners also handled several related budget and maintenance items later in the meeting, which the auditor read as separate appropriation requests to be forwarded to the council, including replacement of a maintenance truck and UPS battery components. The Justice Center design request was the largest single appropriation discussed at the meeting.
