Summary
Facilities staff reviewed utilities budgeting and a multi-phase door-security project for the courthouse and LAC. Commissioners discussed a 70/30 interim utilities split, a $100,000 improvement line for door security in 2027, and potential grants to offset costs.
Facilities and courthouse staff described ongoing work to finish phase 1 of a door-security project and proposed a phase-2 plan to install interior card readers and expand cloud-based access control. The staff member said the front door schedule and the new system allow monitoring and limit access by function: "The new system's cloud based... You can limit where they can and can't go throughout the building."
Commissioners discussed utilities accounting across the courthouse and LAC (LEC) and considered moving certain utility lines into the LAC budget to match usage. Staff described an interim 70/30 split being used while a formal contract is negotiated and estimated utilities for the LAC at roughly $72,500 for the budget year. The board also discussed applying for grants to offset door-security costs and earmarked a $100,000 improvement line for 2027 to continue interior security upgrades.
