County Manager's Report — February 18, 2019 Ongoing Projects Courthouse Renovations — The latest draft plans for the renovations have been discussed with the Architect. Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing those plans with the departments and agencies impacted by the changes. Once that process is complete, I plan on contacting Moseley Architects and give them the go ahead to begin construction drawings and prepare bid packets. The Renovations will have to occur in several stages. The first stage will include the Historic Courthouse and Fireplace Building. Kiwanis Park Improvements — City of Sanford — On January 2, the City Council gave their contractor the go ahead to begin the splash pad and park renovations at Kiwanis Family Park. The contract period was 8 months. With the recent good weather, work at the park picked up. A temporary entrance and portable toilets with a handwashing station was set up. The current bathroom facility will be torn down in the next couple of weeks. The playground will also be removed. The City's plans are to replace the equipment and build a new bathroom facility. Parks Master Plans - The County's projects have now moved into the construction drawings phase. We expect those plans to be ready by summer.
