Bonner, Clerk of Commission.
MEDIA: S. Eidson.
1. Provide Finance Committee and Public Safety Committee with information
regarding status of construction of new facility for Animal Control.
Mr. Kolb: We received bid for construction of the new Animal Control shelter in
south Augusta. Much to our surprise the original estimates that we went to bid on
and we based our budget on were exceeded by just about twenty-five percent of
what we had estimated. Dr. Bragdon is here to discuss this with us.
I
Dr. Bragdon: The Purchasing Department received bids for construction of the
new building. The lowest bid exceeds current SPLOST funds allocated for
construction. The Finance Department, Rick Acree of Facilities Maintenance, the
contractor, TSDG Design and the Director of Animal Control are exploring
several avenues for funding. If construction is rebid the cost would likely
increase. We would like to recommend an action plan that will cut the cost of
construction, develop sources of alternative funding and develop a schedule for
raising private money to match public funding.
After further discussion,
Mr. Shepard: I would move that we have the Administrator, Dr. Bragdon
and the architect bring us back that action plan that they talked about and
that construction alternatives that have heen mentioned be considered;
phasing the shelter, using inmate labor, reallocating SPLOST. Maybe come
back with a combination of those. If possible come back to the first meeting
in February or sooner with that plan.
Mr. Brigham: Second.
Motion carries unanimously.
2.
Approve Dynamic Imaging Systems, Inc. to provide the Photo Imaging
system for the Sheriff's Office subject to the final contract approval of the
Attorney, Sheriff's Office and Information Technology.
I
Mr. Shepard: I move approval.
Mr. Brigham: Second.
Motion carries unanimously.
I
ADJOURNMENT: With no further business to discuss the meeting was adjourned.
