Toqua Park work session: board hears cost increases, weighs bathhouse materials and funding options
Summary
In a work session the board received an Engan Associates update on the Toqua Park project; staff and consultants said the project has exceeded its original estimate and highlighted a substantial cost difference between wood and concrete bathhouse options.
County commissioners held a work session during the meeting to review the Toqua Park project. Eben Pederson and Andy Engen of Engan Associates updated the board on next steps, including the question of what type of structure to build for the bathhouse.
The minutes record that there is a significant cost difference between a wood structure and a concrete structure. Board members and consultants discussed funding options because the project has exceeded the original estimate; the minutes state that once the project goes out for bids the board will have a clearer picture of what must be removed from this phase of work to stay within budget.
No formal decision or vote on construction materials is recorded in the minutes; the work session was advisory and focused on options and next steps. Further decisions will depend on bid results and subsequent board action.
