Regular meeting
The regular meeting is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m.
Commissioners are scheduled to consider authorizing the purchase and installation of replacement carpet for the shared Engineering, Community and Development Services, and Utilities offices on the first floor of the City-County Building. The area to be carpeted is 6,495 square feet and includes workspace for approximately 34 employees.
"Carpet was last installed in this area in 2000 (22 years ago). The carpet has surpassed its useful life and is visibly worn," staff noted in the request for action information.
Staff is recommending that commissioners approve the purchase and installation of carpet for the area from Carpet Central Flooring Center in the amount of $44,622.68.
Additionally, commissioners are scheduled to set the date for the 2022 amended budget public hearing.
