Commissioners approve training building agreement; ask to preserve trees near parking expansion
Summary
The court approved a supplemental agreement with ALT Associates for the road and bridge training building and a commissioner requested that the design preserve as many trees as possible near the proposed parking expansion; facilities staff said they will try to work around existing trees.
The commissioners considered item 37, a supplemental agreement with ALT Associates Incorporated for architectural and engineering services related to the road and bridge training building. One commissioner pressed for retaining existing trees adjacent to the proposed parking expansion, arguing the trees provide shade and were the result of prior investment.
Facilities staff member Del Valle said the design team will attempt to work around as many trees as possible and that the county is also coordinating with Encore for an easement that could be used for parking. The motion to approve the supplemental agreement moved forward with a caveat to keep as many trees as feasible and carried 5-0.
