2b. Courthouse west addition - Laserfiche WebLink

Building Committee-May 13, 2009 2 Mr. Wagner discussed forwarding a recommendation to the commission and asked whether the committee has met the responsibility assigned to them regarding a schematic design for a west addition. Mr. Montplaisir said the commission needs to look at two projects-a west addition and joint public safety building-and discuss funding mechanisms to determine the next step in the process. Mrs. Johnson believes the committee has met their obligation to provide the commission with options for their consideration. Mr. Wagner suggested a letter be drafted to the county commission with the committee's recommendation. MOTION, passed Mrs. Johnson moved and Mr. Montplaisir seconded to recommend the county commission consider a Courthouse west addition to meet county needs through the year 2020 and forward three options for the county commission to review. Discussion: Judge Herman said Option A meets the needs of the county and asked if the committee wants to include that with their recommendation to the commission. Mr. Wagner said the letter to the board could include a statement that the committee preference is Option A, but due to cost considerations, is providing two other options. Mrs. Johnson said Option A fulfills the county needs. Mr. Wagner thanked everyone on the committee for their work during this process. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. 5. JOINT PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING PROJECT, Soil borings report Mrs. Johnson said the soil borings report has been received for the joint public safety building project. Based on the testing, no issues were found and conditions are amenable for underground parking and a building with one or two floors. She said preliminary cost estimates and building options are being drafted by the architect, who anticipates the data will be ready for consideration at the next building committee meeting. 6. COURT REIMBURSEMENT, Update on reimbursement for planning services Judge Herman spoke with the Office of the State Supreme Court this week. According to their office, a check in the amount of $25,000 should be received within the next few days for reimbursement of consulting fees. 7.
