at this time.
Approve financing for Health Department front counter improvement not to exceed
$20,000.00 – Member Davidson explained that the Count Board would need to approve the
and find the funding for this project because there are no available funds in the Facilities
Management budget. Mr. Smiley stated that this is just an estimate from last year when an
RFP was posted, and that they did not receive any bids for this project. The Facilities
Committee asked Mr. Smiley to estimate the cost of construction and installation by
Facilities personnel.
Dr. Tokars distributed a draft drawing of the larger counter project on the main floor of the
Health and Human Services Building, and stated there are two additional smaller counters
on the first floor, and two smaller counters on the 2nd floor that raise the same security
issues. Dr. Tokars also stated that this project came after a crisis occurred in the Health
and Human Services Building parking lot a year or so ago, and after a security evaluation
by Law Enforcement personnel from the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office and the Oswego
Police Department. Dr. Tokars stated that many of the security recommendations have
been implemented for the safety of the public and Health Department personnel.
Discussion on the Health Department funding the cost of the project, and the current
