County budget hearing to clarify Justice Center funding; staff hopeful for January release of MRSP materials
Summary
Staff (Dan) told the board the county council will hold a budget hearing the next day that should clarify funding for the justice center project; staff aim to release MRSP materials in winter, possibly January, pending final legal review and budgeting.
Dan (county staff) informed the board that the county council will hold its second budget hearing the following day, which should clarify available funding and allow staff to advance the Justice Center project. He said staff are finalizing contracts with the general contractor and working with the city attorney's office and other counsel on necessary documents.
When asked if the budget had changed after a recent revenue loss, staff replied it remained the same at that time. On timing for MRSP materials, staff said they aim for a winter release and hoped to finalize paperwork with legal counsel to allow a January release if work proceeds on schedule. “I still have January as the release date,” one staff member said, noting that schedule depends on final approvals.
