7 <br /> 1 Commissioner Greene asked which building this HVAC system is serving if it is located <br /> 2 in the parking deck. <br /> 3 Travis Myren said this was IT and electrical equipment in a closet within the parking <br /> 4 deck. He resumed the PowerPoint presentation: <br /> 5 <br /> FY2021-22 Recommended County Projects <br /> Lake Orange dam Remediation-$360,000(p.38) <br /> —Repair existirg erosion control harrier <br /> 2020 Assessment <br /> • E�aion Con�,ol earner pnatlzed <br /> nefeas <br /> e spillwa y chanirol repairs from$45.000 to$85.000 <br /> FY21.24 <br /> Ck.M. FCOUNTY <br /> 6 <br /> 7 <br /> 8 Commissioner Hamilton asked why the remediation is not more aggressive with fixing <br /> 9 the issue and making it safe, given it is classified as a high hazard dam. <br /> 10 Craig Benedict, Planning Director, said engineers were hired last year to evaluate the <br /> 11 system. He said the work is being done as fast as it can, based on their assessment. He said <br /> 12 the evaluation showed the need for important improvements that must be made immediately, <br /> 13 and bids will go out July 1, 2021 to make these improvements using money from this budget. <br /> 14 Commissioner Hamilton asked if the repairs could not be made more quickly because of <br /> 15 the engineering. <br /> 16 Craig Benedict said there was a certain amount of money allocated for the engineering <br /> 17 study, and now there are funds for the work itself in the coming year's budget. <br /> 18 Commissioner Hamilton asked if the process is being driven by budget or engineering <br /> 19 constraint. <br /> 20 Chair Price said she believed the Commissioners looked at this issue last year or the <br /> 21 year before, but there was not enough information at the time. <br /> 22 Bonnie Hammersley confirmed the Commissioners did hear the information last year, <br /> 23 and said the engineer was hired in order to decide what work needed to be done. She said <br /> 24 since the engineer completed the evaluation, the next step is to fund the project. <br /> 25 Travis Myren asked if Commissioner Hamilton was asking if money was no object, could <br /> 26 this be done faster. <br /> 27 Commissioner Hamilton said yes. <br /> 28 Travis Myren said the answer to that is not by much, because only so much work can be <br /> 29 done on the structure at any given time. <br /> 30 Craig Benedict said Travis Myren was correct. He said if this is approved, the lake level <br /> 31 will be lowered this summer and improvements will begin with the upcoming year's budget. <br /> 32 Travis Myren said the limiting factor was that only so much work could be done <br /> 33 simultaneously. <br /> 34 Commissioner Hamilton said this project should be a priority, because it is a health and <br /> 35 safety issue. <br /> 36 Travis Myren said staff will let Commissioners know if it finds a way to accelerate things. <br /> 37 Commissioner Dorosin said perhaps there will be some infrastructure money by the time <br /> 38 it is ready for the next phase. <br /> 39 Craig Benedict said it would be "shovel ready". <br /> 40 Travis Myren resumed the PowerPoint presentation: <br /> 41 <br />
