Cass County authorizes court-facility grant application for juvenile court relocation work
Summary
The commission authorized submission of an application to the state Court Facility Improvement Grant program for an estimated $80,000 to support relocating juvenile court offices during an annex remodel; bids are due June 2 and the grant committee meets June 22.
County staff briefed the board on a Court Facility Improvement Grant application to the state-level committee that supports courthouse projects. Staff said the committee must fund projects not yet complete; because the recently completed secure courtroom could not be funded retroactively, staff identified upcoming annex remodeling work that would benefit the courts, including relocating the juvenile court office.
Architect estimates (JLG) put the cost for the juvenile-court relocation at roughly $80,000, with final figures to be updated after bids are opened on June 2. Staff requested the commission authorize submission of the application and the estimate; the board moved, seconded and approved the recommendation. Staff will update the application after bids are received and brief the building committee and the grant committee on June 22.
No final grant award was guaranteed at the meeting; staff noted timelines and the need for updated cost figures.
