Committee pauses major service-counter upgrades; will prioritize tax assessor work
Summary
With roughly $100,000–$105,000 left of a $300,000 reallocated budget, staff said the tax collector’s counter may be unaffordable and the committee will prioritize a smaller tax assessor carpentry project instead.
Acting chair Bill told the committee the original reallocated funds for customer service counter upgrades were $300,000 and that the city has spent about $2,800 on architectural drawings for the tax collector's office. He said the committee has approximately "$100,000, a $105,000" remaining and that, based on recent bid numbers, that will likely not be enough to complete the tax collector's counter; the chair said the committee will focus on the tax assessor's counter as a lower-cost carpentry project.
Bill said he plans to hold off on starting major counter projects until at least halfway through the Concert Hall restroom work so funds remain available if overruns occur. The committee did not vote to reallocate funds at this meeting; staff described this as a prioritization and timing decision rather than a formal budget amendment.
