Board says no relocation decision for Veterans Affairs; morgue's lost space prompts staff review of alternative county facilities
Summary
Supervisors clarified that no decision has been made to move Veterans Affairs to the courthouse and explained St. Luke's will no longer house the county morgue; staff are evaluating county-owned Tri View Building as a potential site.
Acting Chair responded to public concern and media reports, telling attendees that the board has not approved moving Veterans Affairs to the courthouse and that no dates have been set. "There's been no discussion as far as the board of moving anybody to the courthouse," the acting chair said, adding that any relocation would require an agenda item and board action.
The acting chair said St. Luke's has notified county leaders it can no longer provide space for the county morgue, necessitating a search for a replacement location. The board is working with morgue staff to identify equipment needs and is evaluating underused county properties including the Tri View Building; the chair said it is possible the Tri View Building could accommodate the morgue and allow Veterans Affairs to remain in its current location, but that a final decision would depend on a staff feasibility review and subsequent board action.
