Commissioners move to appoint Nate as owner's representative, contingent on council approval
Summary
The board voted to appoint Nate to an owner's-representative position for the county project contingent on council approval of the contract and appropriation; Nate told commissioners he would participate in meetings in the interim.
The commissioners voted to appoint Nate to serve as the county's owner's representative for the courthouse/new building project, contingent on the county council's approval of the proposed contract and appropriation. Commissioners said the posting closed with a single applicant and framed the appointment as contingent on council action at its next regular meeting.
Nate, the candidate who spoke to commissioners, said he was willing to participate in project conversations before the council formally approves the contract. "I'm willing to work with you guys as far as that if that's what's going to do," he said when asked if he would join pre'approval project meetings. Commissioners recorded a motion to appoint Nate contingent on council appropriation and contract approval; the motion passed.
Why it matters: the owner's representative is intended to streamline decisions during design and construction, reduce daily docket discussion for the full board, and act as a day'to'day county contact for the project team. The commissioners directed staff to prepare contract paperwork for the council's September consideration.
Next steps: staff will finalize the proposed service agreement and ask council to appropriate funds and approve the contract.
