Kent Tarro with Public Health spoke about the resolution later in the agenda that would allow for the purchase of the dispatch building in Gillespie using state funds.

Starr had discussed that after last month's approval for hiring a consultant engineer. He had sought a recommendation from an architect on who to use and had heard Keith Engineering would be a good option. A representative from Keith was at the building and grounds committee and had recommended doing a study of the building at about $10,000 to $15,000 that would take 6 to 8 weeks and they could provide options for the county to consider. They also recommended getting a digital scan of the building for future floor plan use.
Motion by Armour, seconded by Dragovich to grant the Building and Grounds Committee the power to act on negotiating with Keith Engineering about serving as the consulting engineer for the Courthouse HVAC project.
