She asked if more detail could <br /> 8 be provided. <br /> 9 Travis Myren said this is the Old Courthouse. He said he thinks it is repairs to the side of <br /> 10 the building. <br /> 11 Steve Brantley, Economic Development Director, said the ADA improvements impact the <br /> 12 path of travel into the building, and the stone pathways are currently not accessible, so work <br /> 13 would be done to make it so. <br /> 14 Chair Price said she has been concerned about ADA compliance since she has been on <br /> 15 the board, and the sooner the work can be done, the better and she would like to see it done <br /> 16 sooner rather than later. She said if there is more needed from an engineering study that is <br /> 17 fine, but she would like to see all of the county buildings become ADA accessible as soon as <br /> 18 possible. <br /> 19 Commissioner Hamilton said it is a health and safety and accessibility issue, and asked <br /> 20 if$40,000 can be pulled from another project. She said this is an area that should be <br /> 21 prioritized. <br /> 22 Bonnie Hammersley said there is an amendment process if the board would like to make <br /> 23 change to the recommended budget, and the board will vote on the amendments before they <br /> 24 adopt the budget. <br /> 25 Commissioner Bedford recalled this project was removed from the recommended budget <br /> 26 in order to do the Durham Tech building. She said she would agree with adding it back in if <br /> 27 money could be found. <br /> 28 Travis Myren reiterated the amendment process, but also encouraged commissioners to <br /> 29 let he or Bonnie Hammersley know if they wanted to make changes. He resumed the <br /> 30 PowerPoint presentation: <br /> 31 <br />
