Chair Jacobs said that driving up here, he was looking at the construction site at the <br />senior center, and that the construction fencing is too close to the trees. He suggested that <br />someone go out there and make sure that the fence is properly placed. <br />Chair Jacobs said that he knows that Rod Visser has been trying to set up a meeting <br />with the company managing the Sportsplex. They also need to discuss food service there. <br />Chair Jacobs asked for an update from John Link on the water and sewer for Gravelly <br />Hill Middle School. <br />John Link said that Purchasing and Central Services Director Pam Jones will give bid <br />results on this and she said that they were able to get four bids today, and three were viable <br />and were within construction estimates. They run from $1.5 million to $2.1 million. The next <br />step is for the contractors to be certified by the County Engineer and they will bring back for <br />contract approval on May 4th. They will expedite the paperwork on this. <br />Chair Jacobs said that he would also like to work on the development of the assessment <br />project and when they do have customers in the EDD, they can tell them what to expect for the <br />rates. He would also like to revisit the Efland sewer system and its rates. <br />4. County Manager's Report <br />John Link read the consent agenda. <br />5.
