Human services staff request ADA-accessible front counter; board approves ordering countertop
Summary
Human services staff requested an ADA-compliant drop in the front counter and a more secure Dutch door; staff reported $66,000 in indirect funds available and the board approved ordering the countertop and directed staff to solicit contractors for the door.
Michelle Moser, a human services staff member, asked the board to approve an ADA-accessible front counter and a Dutch door for security at the department's front desk. She told commissioners she had indirect funds available — roughly $66,000 this year from county cost allocations — and asked permission to order the countertop while she continues to seek contractor quotes for the door installation.
"Well, 1st of all, it's not ADA accessible," Michelle Moser said of the existing counter and asked the board to allow the lower section to be built at 88 inches for wheelchair access. Commissioners discussed tempered glass, security tradeoffs, and difficulty finding contractors in the area; they asked staff to advertise and solicit bids. The board moved and seconded a motion to allow the purchase of the countertop; the motion carried by voice vote.
Staff said they will return with door contractor estimates and confirmed the county retains final approval for building work in the county-owned facility.
