Officials weigh $31.5M–$33.6M options for county building renovation or replacement
Summary
Commissioners discussed three proposals for replacing or renovating the county building: rehabilitation at $33.6M (plus $5M temporary housing), a 5‑story partially finished option at $31.5M, or a fully finished 5‑story building at $33.5M; a referendum is likely to be required.
Commissioner Al Knable presented three costed options for the County building during the June 24 joint meeting and said he favors a fully finished five‑story building for long-term needs.
Knable listed the options: complete rehabilitation of the existing building at $33,600,000 with $5 million for temporary housing; a five‑story building with only four stories finished at $31,500,000; and a five‑story building fully finished at $33,500,000. "I think the 5-story fully finished building would be the best option for this generation of people and generations to come," Knable said, while noting it will probably require a referendum. Commissioner Jason Sharp agreed with Knable's assessment and said the current building condition is embarrassing.
No funding decision or referendum was scheduled at the meeting; officials indicated the animal shelter site as a potential location and asked for continued planning and coordination.
