Library renovation work uncovers additional asbestos; juvenile office to get privacy/safety film
Summary
Contractors removed asbestos during library restroom conversions for study carrels and discovered a second asbestos‑containing tile layer, prompting a likely change order estimated roughly at $5,000–$6,000 pending written confirmation. Separately, the juvenile probation office requested window laminate to protect youth identities and provide some protective properties after a recent threat review.
County staff updated the court on the library renovation, reporting asbestos abatement in former bathrooms being converted into study carrels. The contractor removed one layer of tile and discovered a second asbestos layer; the judge said a change order will be required and estimated the extra cost in the "somewhere in 5 to $6,000" range but noted the exact figure would arrive by email and no formal action was requested today.
The court also reviewed a purchase request for privacy laminate for the juvenile probation office windows. The judge said the film is intended to protect juveniles' identities and provide some retardant/protective qualities following a recent threat; staff were authorized to proceed with obtaining the required materials and pricing.
