- At the August 27, 2026 Finance Committee meeting, Mr. Sweeney said construction on the Family Peace Center was delayed because of federal funding. He also said the Carrie Lynn Center likely would not move in during the next fiscal year. The item is only a status update, but it shows a capital project that remains sensitive to grant timing and could generate resumed contracting once funding clears.
- The committee heard an update on the Public Safety Building project from Huffman Keel. No contract amount, vendor award, or decision request was stated in the minutes excerpt, so this is only a project-status signal. It still shows an active capital project and a named outside firm involved in updates. Further design, construction, or closeout work may follow, but the source did not specify it.
