The full story

The county reviewed Change Order 10 for the courthouse renovation projects CCP 22 and 27. Officials said the reduction reflects that a railing extension originally thought necessary will not be required, lowering costs by about $72,000; other adjustments including security control work produced an increase described as "a shade over a $100,000." The net change was debated and the board voted 4–2 to approve the change order.
