Replacements are based on the <br /> current condition and useful life. The most significant investment recommended for FY2025- <br /> 26 ($1,347,450) is to replace all exterior windows, doors, and retaining walls at the Whitted <br /> Building. The majority of this project is intended to improve energy efficiency due to the age <br /> of the building. <br /> • Facility Accessibility, Safety and Security Improvements - $25,000 <br /> This project funds a variety of facility safety and security improvements throughout the <br /> County.
