She also <br /> asked if it includes the $250,000 that is another transfer. <br /> Travis Myren said the design fees were lower than budgeted, so they can absorb those <br /> additional costs in this current year's budget. <br /> Commissioner Portie-Ascott asked if they needed to extend the due diligence period and <br /> if funds would be necessary. <br /> Alan Dorman said that it was not included because construction funds would be available. <br /> Commissioner Portie-Ascott said she is hoping that since the market is changing, the <br /> county will not have to pay the additional due diligence $10,000. <br /> Chair Bedford said it is in the contract. <br /> VOTE: Ayes, 5 (Commissioner Carter, Commissioner Greene, Chair Bedford, Vice-Chair <br /> Hamilton, Commissioner Fowler); Nays, 1 (Commissioner Portie-Ascott) <br /> MOTION PASSES <br /> 8.
