These funds are needed to install new sign age throughout the Courthouse to update the space utilization as a result of the relocation of the Clerk of Courts relocations to the new Courthouse Annex. The new signage will not only provide a cohesiveness and unified look to the adjoined facilities, but will also provide for a much needed revamp of the outdated signage, as well as updating all improperly labeled current signage. This project is in concert with requests from the Court Administration. Where are funds available? Project 50059 was completed very efficiently and economically by using in-house crafts personnel, and this resulted in a substantial remaining balance in the project budget. Project 50059 will be closed out, and a portion of that balance will be used to fund this project (Project 50078.1.1), and the remainder used to fund Project 50077.].1 by another Budget Amendment.
