County Manager's Report — January 17, 2017 Ongoing Projects San Lee Park — Work continues to progress on the new nature center. Progress has slowed due to the recent weather. The concrete floor has been poured and is completed. Framing of the building has started. The main steel support system has been completed. The County continues to work on the new sewer line. Currently, the County has received bids on the sewer line. Staff expects to present the bids to the Commissioners at the February 6 meeting of the Board. This project is still tracking towards completion in May 2017. We are also working with the contractor of the metal storage building to prepare that site as well. Due to the weather, the storage facility work has been delayed. We expect this project to be finished in March or April. Old Bowling Alley — Demolition was completed two weeks ago and the contractor is putting up the new walls, etc. in the building. Work will be completed in less than 60 days. The State will need to review the work before any moving can take place.

We are targeting the Commissioners Board Retreat to give a full report on a capital plan for the pool. Colon Road Water — The RFQ for engineering proposals was completed with assistance from the City of Sanford. We have sent out the RFQ to engineering firms who have expressed interest in doing business with Lee County and also advertised and posted the RFQ on our web page. We hope to be ready to recommend an engineer to the Commissioners at the February 6 meeting.

The total funds left from the project is $1,673.03. Other Items Hurricane Matthew Update — Attached please find a report from FEMA on the Hurricane Matthew aftermath.
