Officials reported the library roof work was expected to finish the same day, with crews then moving to the law enforcement center.

County staff provided a construction and insurance update covering the library roof, law enforcement center, and related window repairs. Chair (speaker 2) told the court the library roof was expected to be completed that day and crews would transition to the law enforcement center; staff said window-replacement scheduling and coordination with the roofer remains ongoing.

On the law enforcement center, staff reported the building is "roughed in, sealed" and that progress on interior work continues, with an original target completion in early April. Commissioners were told there are contingency items (architect and owner contingencies) and potential punch-list costs that will be paid from those contingencies. The packet also listed a monthly pay request of $265,621 to Butler Cohen related to the construction work, which was included among purchase requests the court approved.
