[c. Project update by John A. Hernandez, P.E., County Engineer on the Justice Center and Courthouse Renovation.]

MOTION CARRIES. OKAY. 2.4 C IS PROJECT UPDATE BY JOHN HERNANDEZ, COUNTY ENGINEER ON THE JUSTICE CENTER AND COURTHOUSE RENOVATION. THIS IS OUR MONTHLY PROJECT UPDATE FOR THE JUSTICE CENTER. THIS MONTH'S PAY IS GOING TO BE ABOUT $2.7 MILLION. AND THEN TO BRING THE PROJECT COMPLETION TO ABOUT 61% OR SO AND UP TO DATE, WE THE COUNTY'S PAID OUT TO FULTON APPROXIMATELY $39 MILLION. AND WE STILL HAVE STILL HAVE ABOUT $25 MILLION TO GO. THE CONSTRUCTION IS PROGRESSING. WE'RE DOING THE FULTON PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING ACTIVITIES IS TO HAVE THE MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING IN PLACE, MAINLY THE SECOND AND THIRD FLOORS. AND THEN WE HAVE THE SANITARY SEWER AND PIPING STILL IN PROGRESS.

AND YOU GUYS MAY HAVE NOTICED THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF CONSTRUCTION UP FRONT, AND THEY'RE DOING THE PARKING LOT AREAS FOR THAT. THE CENTER. I'M JUST GOING TO SCROLL DOWN AND YOU GUYS CAN SEE THAT THE PICTURES SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. THIS ONE HERE I LIKE BECAUSE YOU CAN ALMOST SEE YOU CAN SEE THE THE PARKING LOT LAYOUT AND THE MAIN DRIVE TO THE CENTER.

AND OF COURSE A LOT OF THE SHEATHING IS ALREADY UP IN PLACE. RIGHT THERE. THAT'S WHAT

[00:15:05]

I'M SAYING. I ALSO HAVE THE GAS LINE ASKING ME FOR THE THE BACKUP GENERATOR. AND THERE WAS THAT SANITARY SEWER LINE I WAS TALKING ABOUT. THIS ONE. JOSH, CAN YOU ROTATE THAT FOR ME? MAYBE. CHRIS AND I GAVE JUDGE BAUER A TOUR OF THE FLOOR OF THE SECOND FLOOR. CHRIS, YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE THE LAYOUT OF THAT? CHRIS I ALWAYS LIKE TO TALK A LOT. THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING. CHRIS. REALLY? I DIDN'T EXPECT TO BE CALLED UP HERE. WHAT YOU'RE SEEING, RIGHT THERE IS A LAYOUT OF THE COURTROOM. IT'S KIND OF A STANDARD LAYOUT, RIGHT? WE HAVE SIX DIFFERENT COURTROOMS, THREE ON THE SECOND FLOOR, THREE ON THE THIRD FLOOR. AND WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS REALLY THE GRAND JURY SLASH COURT FOUR COURTROOM, WHICH IS. YOU'LL SEE THERE. THE JUDGE IS STANDING NEAR WHERE? TO THE JUDGE'S RIGHT. I SEE THE JUDGE'S LADY IN THE RED HAT. SO TO HER RIGHT, YOU'LL SEE WHERE THE THE JUDGE WILL NORMALLY SIT AND WHERE THE CHAIRS ARE. THE METAL CHAIRS ARE. THAT'S WHERE PEOPLE WOULD SIT. YOU SEE WHERE THE EQUIPMENT IS, THE SHEETROCK, WHATNOT. THAT'LL BE THE AUDIENCE. BUT THAT'S THE GENERAL COURTROOM LAYOUT. WE'VE ACTUALLY, AS THE COURT KNOWS, WE'VE ACTUALLY LAID THAT OUT AND HAD A MOCK COURTROOM AND GOT ALL THE INPUT FROM ALL THE, THE JUDGES, THE THE ATTORNEYS, THE CLERKS AND ALL THAT. WE GOT THEIR INPUT. AND SO WE'RE USING THAT INPUT TO DO THIS COURTROOM LAYOUT. OKAY. RIGHT THERE YOU'LL SEE THE OTHER OTHER VIEW OF IT WHERE YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE METAL CHAIR IS, THAT SINGLE METAL CHAIR. THAT'S WHERE THE JUDGE WOULD SIT. AND YOU HAVE THE ATTORNEY CHAIR AS YOU SAW ON THE OTHER PICTURE. BUT THAT'S A GENERAL COURTROOM. NOW YOU ALMOST START USING IT RIGHT NOW. AND. AND THE WE HAVE THE FURNITURE ITSELF, YOU SAY THE THE FURNITURE, THE COURTROOM FURNITURE IS ALMOST NEWLY CONSTRUCTED AS WELL. AND IT'S JUST BEAUTIFUL WALNUT FURNITURE.

THAT'S THE JUDGE IS VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT. SO. CHRIS. LIKE LIKE CHRIS WAS MENTIONING THE JUDGE AND CHRIS AND I, IT SEEMS LIKE THIS PAST MONTH WE'VE BEEN HAVING THESE WEEKLY MEETINGS AND THIS IS COVERING VARIOUS THINGS. THIS IS MAINLY TALKING ABOUT THE MODULAR FURNITURE.

CAN I HAVE THAT FINALIZED THERE. AND THAT'S WE NEED THAT. THE MODULAR FURNITURE LAYOUT KIND OF LIKE FINALIZED BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO BE MAINLY FOR THE THE DATA DROPS AND ALSO THE ELECTRICAL DROPS BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE FURNITURE THAT HAVE HAVE IT BLOCKING THE PLUGS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND HERE AGAIN, WE'VE BEEN MEETING A LOT WITH THE DISTRICT JUDGES AND ALSO THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW JUDGES. AND SO WE WE'VE BEEN THE TEAM IS RECEIVING A LOT OF INPUT FROM THEM. JUDGE, YOU HAVE ANY COMMENT ON THAT IN OUR MEETINGS? YEAH, WE'VE BEEN HAVING QUITE A FEW MEETINGS AND ALL THE MEETINGS HAVE GONE REAL WELL. I KNOW THEY'VE MADE A FEW CHANGES IN SOME OF THE FURNITURE AND STUFF, BUT I THINK IN THE LONG RUN IT'S GOING TO ALL WORK OUT GOOD AND THEY'RE VERY HAPPY. I THINK PATRICK AND I KNOW THAT IF WE KEEP THE JUDGES HAPPY, WE'RE ALL GOING TO BE HAPPY. SCROLLING DOWN. YOU HEARD YOU HEARD ME MENTION THIS MANY, MANY TIMES. IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT THE CRITICAL PATH. AND SO, SO FAR, THE CRITICAL PATH FOR THE COMPLETION OF THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO BE THE THIRD FLOOR WITH THE MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL AND THE PLUMBING. RIGHT NOW IT'S KIND OF HARD TO SEE IT'S ON THIS PARTICULAR PAGE. BUT THEY DO HAVE NOW WHAT I SAY. CONSIDER THE STONEWORK AND BRICKWORK THAT'S GOING TO BEGIN HERE PRETTY SOON. IT'S NOT PART OF THE CRITICAL PATH, BUT YOU WILL START SEEING THAT KIND OF WORK COMING UP. OH, AND WE'RE STILL ON TRACK. STILL ON TRACK FOR COMPLETION LATE SPRING EARLY SUMMER. OF COURSE, PENDING WEATHER. AND SO FAR FULTON HAS BEEN RECEIVING ALL THE MATERIALS ON SITE. THERE'S APPARENTLY KNOCK ON WOOD HASN'T BEEN ANY DELAY IN DELIVERY MATERIALS. SO, YOU KNOW, THAT HAS TO DO WITH FULTON PROCURING

[00:20:06]

THE EQUIPMENT AND MATERIAL AND PLENTY OF TIME. THAT'S CORRECT. YEAH. AND AND THEN FOLLOWING UP ON REGARDS TO THE COURTHOUSE RENOVATION, THERE'S BEEN NO UPDATE ON THAT. THE COUNTY HAS RECEIVED WHAT WE CALL THE 50% DESIGN PLANS. AND HERE AGAIN, THE ARCHITECT TEAM, BRW IS CONTINUING TO WORK ON THAT DESIGNS. AND THEN FROM HERE ON OUT, PROBABLY THROUGH THE COMPLETION OF THE JUSTICE CENTER, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE COUNTY'S TEAM MEETING WITH THE ARCHITECT TEAM ONCE A MONTH, OR WE'RE GOING TO MEET ON THE SAME DAY. THE PROJECT MONTHLY UPDATE FOR THE JUSTICE CENTER IN THE MORNING, AND THEN THE AFTERNOON WILL MEET WITH THE SAME ARCHITECT TEAM ON THE COURTHOUSE RENOVATION. SO THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF GOING BACK AND FORTH. THE COUNTY'S TEAM IS REALLY BUSY THESE SIX, EIGHT MONTHS, AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THESE TWO ONGOING BIG PROJECTS GOING AT THE SAME TIME. SO THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I KEEP SAYING IT AND I'LL KEEP SAYING IT UNTIL WE GET THROUGH WITH FULTON. I MEAN, WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE FULTON KOSCOM DOING THESE PROJECTS FOR US BECAUSE THEY ARE WAY, WAY AHEAD. YOU KNOW, WHEN THEIR THINKING IS. AND I'M GLAD THAT WE CHOSE THEM. I THINK WE HAD ABOUT EIGHT APPLICANTS. I THINK COMPANIES THAT WANTED TO DO THIS JOB IN FULTON JUST STOOD OUT. YOU KNOW, ALL OF THEIR EMPLOYEES ARE 20 PLUS YEAR EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE BEEN THERE WITH THEM FOREVER. THEIR SUBS HAVE BEEN WITH THEM FOREVER. SO THEY TREAT THEIR SUBS VERY WELL AND THEY DO GREAT, GREAT JOB.

AND I THINK THIS BUILDING'S PERFECT EXAMPLE. I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO GET A GOOD JOB ON THE COURTHOUSE AS WELL AND STUFF, AND THEN WE'RE LOOKING FOR OTHER PROJECTS IF WE NEED TO, AND HOPEFULLY THEY BID ON SOME OF THOSE. THANK YOU JOHN. OKAY. 2.4 D IS ON THE TABLE. WE WILL

THIS REALLY DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH REDISTRICTING. ALL THIS IS, AS FAR AS THE ELECTION ITSELF. INSTEAD OF HAVING SO MANY BALLOT STYLES, WE COMBINED BALLOT. WE COMBINED PRECINCTS. SO THEY CREATE BALLOT STYLE. SO THE PRECINCTS YOU SEE UP THERE UNDERNEATH, LIKE C-1, THAT INCLUDES THE SINTON RANCH MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT. SO IT'S IT'S OWN BALLOT STYLE. SO WE DO THIS EVERY TIME WE HAVE A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
