to a dip in the pavement. He is trying to get the contractor to come out with a measuring device.
DPW Equitz reported the handicap signage has been ordered and will be installed once it is
received. Liquidated damages are set to resume on May 16 if items are not completed. The
County would like to proceed with closing out the project so they can request grant
reimbursement. Board members expressed concerns if they move forward with closing the

consider.

The Board discussed stationary versus mobile desks. Direction at the end of discussion was
preference is mobile desks. President Seager will work with staff on a layout. Administrator Suhm
discussed the need to determine layout prior to installation of cameras because they will be set
to fixed areas. She added any placement of mobile desks will need to be marked so they are
returned to the same spot for cameras. The chairs preferred were vinyl seats with mesh backs
and Administrator Suhm can go ahead and order them. Lead times for AV equipment were
