Public Works Superintendent Danny Yates updated the board on bids for the crushing of concrete and debris at the College Street admininstration building. He said that Complete Demolition Services proposed to charge $1.00 (one dollar) for their in-kind serv ices if the county will provide trucking of the cmshed concrete to their property at 330 Cross Plains Hulett Road. A savings will be realized for the county on trucking the material. In response to a question by Commissioner Fuller, Yates said, yes, that some of the cmshed mate rial will be kept on the site for base use. This proposal was approved unanimously by the board. Chief Judge John Simpson made an ARPA presentation regarding the request of $313,600 funded by ARPA for technology in the superior courthouse Rooms A, B and C, which is part of a larger project to modernize the courthouse and complete the fifth floor. He requested that the money fronted by the county for this Audio Visual project does not count against the $500,000 ceiling for ARPA expenditures prior to reimbursement. Judge Simpson said that the Office of Planning and Budget and the Administrative Office of the Courts are in bureaucratic battles which has resulted in the ARPA reimburse ments lagging by two to three months, but, in answer to Commissioner Bailey, he said he feels comfortable that the county will get the reimbursements due. He said the reimburse ments have been approved at different levels already. Judge Simpson gave appreciation and credit to Sydnie North for her work on this project, as well as Robert Evans, Chainnan Morgan, Finance Director Alecia Searcy, and Keith West. He said the fonns and procedures created by them are now being used all over the state in handling this grant.
