Supervisors approve rock installation near courthouse, cap set at $6,000
Summary
After debating grass vs. rock and possible foundation grants, the board authorized rock installation between courthouse buildings not to exceed $6,000 and asked staff to explore grant funding for longer-term beautification.
Supervisors debated options to finish the area between two courthouse buildings, weighing the initial establishment cost, maintenance concerns and grant possibilities.
Members discussed putting grass in place versus using rock; one local contractor quoted roughly $6,000 for rock installation. The board approved a motion to proceed with rock installation not to exceed $6,000. "To exceed $6,000," a board member said during the motion discussion to set an upper limit. Members also discussed applying for a foundation grant that could fund broader landscaping and beautification in a later cycle.
Staff will proceed with the vendor selected under the approved price cap and will explore grant opportunities with the foundation to supplement a more extensive landscaping plan in future fiscal cycles.
