At 9:00 a.m. Chairman O’Brien opened a Special to receive an update
on the Event Center Barn Project.
Patti Johnson, Solid Waste Director/Maintenance Director/Project
Manager reviewed the options she received from ALSC.
The Board expressed their support for the Option #3 Bloom Pavilion
addition and improvements (including wash racks and miscellaneous
demolition). Ms. Johnson discussed the property survey for elevation
needing to be done. Commissioner Jewell requested a complete
breakdown that lists all details. He explained that he felt the
proposal seemed high. He stated that he has shared the proposals
with the Fair Board and the Livestock Committee and they were in
support of option #3 as well.
There was discussion on what fund the project would be paid for
from. Commissioner Jewell indicated that the sales tax revenues are
up this year and they could pay for it out of that fund. The Board
directed Ms. Johnson to work on negotiating the price down. Ms.
Johnson indicated that she needs to meet with Mickey and discuss
some sewer issues at one of the un-used restrooms at the Event
Center.
Ms. Johnson shared that she would like to set up a workgroup and
have them involved with the process. She felt having members of the
community who use the facility will be an asset to the process.
Commissioner Jewell indicated that he would work on a Press Release
letting citizens know the County is looking to form a workgroup and
it would provide an outline of the tasks that the workgroup would be
expected to work on.
Meeting was adjourned at 9:15 a.m.
