Resident raises detailed concerns about B.O.T. agreement, alleges missing exhibits and cost changes

During public comment Lucy Brenton asked the council to address several alleged problems with a B.O.T. (build-operate-transfer) agreement approved by the commissioners. She said the general scoping called for 8.5 acres but the recorded agreement now refers to 7.5 acres; she flagged a discrepancy in stone costs (county-supplied stone listed as $24,935 on initial documents but appearing as roughly $45,000 in later figures); she also said a wall that was specified at three feet tall was built at one foot, and that specified truck lean-to framing changed from 2"x6" at 16" on center to 2"x8" at 4' on center. Brenton asked multiple questions about developer overages and the length of the loan and said Commissioner Phillip Marshall signed the agreement without Exhibits A, C, D and F.

Brenton asked that her documentation be attached to the council minutes for further review. The council did not resolve the contract questions in the meeting; members and staff will need to review the provided materials and the signed agreement to answer Brenton's specific allegations.
