The board approved a resolution authorizing an owner's change order for Fire Station 85 that staff said will be funded outside the project's bonds and added to next year's budget. Danielle Carey Tolan explained the change order "is not gonna be included in the bond" and that the city expects to budget the additional funding in the next fiscal year.

Board members discussed using a build‑operate‑transfer approach where appropriate and staff said the strategy could be helpful for projects involving coordination with development or utilities.
