Board outlines capital plan including $4 million vacant-wing modification and $150,000 courtyard upgrades

During the budget presentation staff reviewed several capital projects. The largest listed is a $4,000,000 vacant-wing modification that includes a $1,000,000 grant; staff described the project as a way to use a county asset to meet unmet assisted-living needs and reduce reliance on the tax levy.

"The biggest 1 obviously is the vacant wing modification, at 4,000,000 that is including the 1,000,000 for the grant," a presenter said. Staff also noted a proposed $150,000 allocation for three sun sails and automatic handicap door openers to improve resident access to courtyards and called out a generator replacement planned for 2028 as a significant future expense.
