This meeting was a recessed session of the Asset Management Committee, continuing from the previous day. The committee considered and voted on multiple procurement and real estate items, including contracts for threat assessment, construction management, architectural design, and leases for the juvenile redeploy program. The meeting began with the approval of minutes from June 10, 2026, and proceeded to a vote on all agenda items after presentations and discussion.
During discussion, Commissioner Naya asked about the need for threat assessment and the timeline for the Moody Nolan contract. Director of Capital Planning Earl Manning explained that threat assessments are being conducted for all public buildings, and the Moody Nolan contract covers design and construction administration through 2031, with construction to be procured separately. Commissioner Degnan expressed concerns about the JLL contract (Item 26-1325), stating that she would vote no because she believes the county should incorporate a small capital improvement plan workforce at the hospital system to handle smaller jobs currently given to JLL, thereby respecting the internal workforce. She acknowledged that external work is necessary but felt the balance should be adjusted.
