There <br />was also an estimate of construction costs were provided which <br />included a base project which moves all general government and court <br />functions to a new facility as well as other options to remove items <br />such as basement level parking; leasable space; etc. A development <br />options analysis was provided as well for a proposed new building <br />and hybrid concept buildings. It was noted the costs of construction <br />have been increasing significantly lately and there is no relief in <br />sight within the next 5 years. <br /> <br />The Board suggested obtaining an engineer study done on electrical <br />upgrades to the current facility. The Board felt it would be too <br />expensive to build as it’s presented and they need to begin thinking <br />outside the box and get creative on other ways to cut down on costs. <br />They gave suggestions and asked the architect to rework those costs <br />based upon their discussion. Ms. Gillogly said she anticipated it <br />taking about 2 weeks to provide an updated version on the project as <br />discussed with the Board. <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at 11:00 a.m. <br /> <br />KITTITAS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />CLERK OF THE BOARD KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Julie Kjorsvik Laura Osiadacz, Chairman <br />
