Commissioners ask for Gantt-style reports as finance director updates construction timelines

The finance director (Speaker 13) updated the committee on several capital projects and said Oak Grove Fire Department work is nearing completion (punch list/warranty items) and that archives HVAC is installed. The report noted the construction contract is being finalized.

Commissioner (Unidentified Speaker 8) moved to require Gantt-style reports showing deliverables, completed milestones and upcoming timelines; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. Speaker 8 said the format would make it easier to see milestones and completion estimates; Unidentified Speaker 6 noted the county has discussed such reporting for years. The committee asked staff to produce future project reports in a Gantt-style format and to include more detail on deliverables and next steps.

Next steps: project managers will provide deliverable-based timelines in future reports so commissioners can track progress and schedule follow-ups where needed.
