County approves smaller Ag maintenance building to fit grant match; commissioners favor reduced eave and door heights
Summary
Staff presented redesigned, reduced‑scope options for the Agri Civic Center maintenance building to align with available grant match. The board approved Option 1 with direction to reduce eave and roll‑up door heights to save cost.
County staff returned to the board with a downsized design for the Agri Civic Center maintenance building after initial preliminary design costs exceeded the budgeted match. Staff said they reworked the scope to fit the grant match and county budget and sought approval of the reduced option and the proposed specifications.
Commissioners questioned the 18‑foot eave height and suggested reducing eave and roll‑up door heights (12–16 feet suggested) to control wind load and costs; staff agreed to revisit door header specifications and reduce heights where feasible. The board unanimously approved Option 1 with the reduced eave and door heights and directed staff to proceed with the amended scope.
