Public hearing held on courthouse freight-elevator project; contractor schedule and election timing discussed
Summary
The board held and closed a public hearing on a courthouse freight-elevator replacement project. County staff and the project architect said elevator delivery typically takes 15–18 weeks and can be coordinated with election schedules; a commenter urged starting after the November general election to avoid election logistics disruption.
The Board of Supervisors opened a public hearing on the courthouse freight-elevator project and invited public comment. Building Services Director Kenny Schmidt said the courthouse "really needs" the project and that the hearing's purpose was to receive questions and comments. Teresa Hebert of CMV Architects told the board elevator factory production typically takes about "15 to 18 weeks" and described flexibility to ask the vendor to delay delivery if election logistics require it.
A county elections official urged scheduling construction after the November general election so the elevator remains available for moving election equipment. Schmidt said scheduling will be driven by the contractor and vendor project team but that staff and the architect will coordinate as needed. With no further comments the board closed the hearing and the motion to close passed 5–0.
Why it matters: the freight elevator is a functional courthouse infrastructure project that affects departmental operations and election logistics; schedule decisions will affect equipment movement during elections.
