County Manager's Report — April 19, 2021 Ongoing Projects Courthouse & Government Center Renovations— Bar Construction has completed the majority of work on the first floor of the Register of Deeds Building.

Key dates for the move are May 6 - 8 when Logan Systems will move the computer systems from the Courthouse to the new building. The ROD Office will be closed on Friday, May 7 as staff begins the transition to the new facility.

Furniture delivery is scheduled for April 19. Demolition has been completed and new walls, etc. are being constructed. We expect the DA to move into their new space by the end of June 2021. Work will start in the Main Courthouse Building after the DA's move into the Historic Courthouse. The contractor has agreed to work a 6:00pm to 2:30am schedule to limit the disruptions in the courtrooms. Work at the Government Center has begun. Demolition of ceilings has started. We have completed the first move of staff to other areas of the Government Center. This is going to be a long process so we will give an updated completion date once demolition is finished. Board of Elections General Service's staff has completed the plan for the move of the Board of Elections to the Bowling Alley Building. Tim Sherman has completed the construction drawings and we are moving forward. We anticipate this project being completed by June 1. Parking Lots - Design of the new parking lot at the corner of Courtland and Elm is complete and has been approved by the City of Sanford. The new parking lot next to the Douglas Drive Building is being delayed because the City is requiring rezoning of the lot next to building. The City is also requiring additional handicap spots in the main courthouse parking lot due to the renovations of the Courtland Drive parking lot. Park Projects — After the Commissioners Meeting on March 15, Santiago Giraldo met with JM Thompson to discuss the tennis courts at Kiwanis Children's Park and OT Sloan. JMT offered a change order that would allow the construction of three (3) youth tennis courts with pickle ball lines at Kiwanis Children's Park and adding four (4) permanent designated pickle ball courts at OT Sloan and eliminating 3 of the 6 tennis courts. The change order saves over $8,000 at Kiwanis Children's Park and reduces the cost of construction at OT Sloan significantly. A summary of change orders for the parks is attached. Work continues at Horton, Temple, OT Sloan and Kiwanis Children's Park with
