Summary

Project consultant Robin Payne told commissioners Phase 2 costs have exceeded estimates and suggested reducing scope—including eliminating additional parking spaces—to keep the project within a $550,000 funding allocation.

Robin Payne, the project consultant for TGOW Phase 2, reported that current projections exceed the original cost estimates and presented options to bring the project back within budget. She said eliminating the planned additional parking spaces is one option that would allow the project’s core elements to proceed while staying within the available $550,000 allocation.

Commissioners discussed the trade-offs between project scope and cost control but did not vote on any changes at the Jan. 5 meeting. Payne’s presentation focused on options to preserve core work while reducing discretionary elements if funding cannot be increased.
