Summary
The court approved a $97,391 contract to add 14 spaces to the Judicial Center west parking lot after commissioners questioned a late design change and value; the vote was 3 in favor, 1 opposed and 1 abstention.
County Engineer John Hernandez reported that Fulton Construction returned a reduced cost proposal to add 14 parking spaces at the Judicial Center west lot for $97,391, down from earlier estimates that included additional security features.
