Authorize contract documents for actual construction design. Taxpayer dollars are being wasted. Construction costs rise and the County has dragged its feet for 12 years. While projects are explored and scrapped (at great cost), the value of the $16 million FEMA Grant is greatly diminished. Projections today for refurbishing the HOJ are in the $200 million range. Each year all of the above costs are growing. THE COUNTY MUST MOVE FORWARD TO FORMULATE A PLAN AND ACT ON IT IMMEDIATELY.
