County Manager's Report — April 17, 2017 Ongoing Proiiects San Lee Park — We have had several meetings with our contractor, CSI, and our architect, H & H Architecture concerning the project. The main issues are why the project has gotten behind and if we can get back on schedule for a June 1St completion. The bottom line is the project will be delayed for up to 45 days. The manufacturer is no longer making the HVAC system that was designed for the building. This has required the architect and their mechanical engineer to develop a new solution. This has been done and the contractor has ordered the equipment and material. However, the delay has put the project behind. The interior walls cannot be completed until the HVAC system is in place. This will change the completion date sometime the first two weeks of July. Staff continues to work on other areas of the park and all programs will go on as planned this summer. Old Bowling Alley & Historic Courthouse — General Services is in the final phases of completion of this project. We should complete this work in early June. We hope to have Adult Probation in the facility by the start of the new fiscal year. In another development, the Register of Deeds has offered to consider moving into the remaining space in the old bowling alley. There is approximately 4200 square feet of space this office could use. The main issue is building a vault with the building. If this move could occur, the space that will be opened up in the new courthouse would offer the Clerk of Court and District Attorney the additional space they are have asked the commissioners to consider. This will leave the first floor of the Historic Courthouse available for use. Due to the significant changes that will be occurring, I believe we need to hire an architect to develop plans for these three areas. This request will be part of the upcoming budget process. OT Sloan Pool — We are quickly moving forward with getting the pool open for the upcoming summer season. Painting of the pools began on Thursday April 13. The new filtration tanks and heaters should be ready for installation around May 1. Colon Road Water — The Contract has been signed with McGill and associates. They have begun the survey of property owners in the area. We are working on a solid time line for this project. We hope to present this to the Commissioners at our May 1 meeting. Other Items Inter -local Government Committee Meeting — The quarterly Inter -local Government Committee Meeting was held on Monday April 10 in the Gordon Wicker Room. Representatives from the City of Sanford, Town of Broadway and Lee County attended.
