Justin Witt, director of facilities for Hamilton County Schools, told commissioners the project would renovate approximately 40,000 to 50,000 square feet for CTE programming and would include necessary fire‑line and fire‑code updates. \"This is an effort to fill that void in the downtown area,\" Witt said, and said the architect selection process is complete and the next step is to negotiate a contract to return to the commission.

Commissioners asked about how programming decisions will be made. Witt said programming—deciding which CTE pathways will occupy the space—typically comes during schematic and design development and will involve school district educators because program needs affect infrastructure and utilities. Commissioner Sharp urged involvement from the education side early in the design process.

Commissioner Graham, who served on the architect selection team, suggested a field trip to the Pye Center in Cleveland and other recently built CTE centers, including a Williamson County site, so commissioners and school staff can view models and flexibly designed spaces. Mayor remarks noted districtwide activity around CTE planning and encouraged flexible designs that can accommodate changing workforce needs.

Witt told the commission that, if the selection is approved, staff will return next week with a negotiated contract for formal action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","April 9, 2025 - Hamilton County Commission Committee Meetings","oneSentenceSummary","Hamilton County Schools recommended Tinkermaw LLC to design a roughly 40,000–50,000-square-foot renovation of the Gateway Career Technical Education facility.

Commissioners and Recovery Court staff said the move would give the program a standalone facility better suited to growing in‑house treatment services. \"We have about 90 participants now and we are bursting at the seams,\" Shannon Morgan, director of Recovery Court, said, adding that the team needs space for daily treatment and activities.

Commissioners pressed staff on practical issues that could affect participants' ability to attend sessions. Chief Roddy and other presenters said staff has been negotiating with CARTA and exploring alternatives, including CARTA Go passes, rideshare use and providing a program van with a part‑time driver. \"Placing a new bus stop on that [site] is cost prohibitive according to CARTA,\" Chief Roddy said. He and Mike Kirk, director of property management, said the nearest existing bus stop is roughly 1.2 miles from the East Annex and that staff will outline transportation options in client orientation materials.

Commissioners also asked about building safety. Morgan said the county will install cameras, maintain current parking arrangements and provide security guards at the new site as is done at the MLK Building. Kirk said major mechanical issues in the East Annex have been resolved and that cosmetic renovations (carpet, paint) remain.

Staff estimated the earliest move would occur in late May or early June if the commission gives direction to proceed. Several commissioners said they support the move but urged staff to ensure transportation solutions during the program's most vulnerable period. Morgan and staff noted program data showing the highest attrition occurs in the first 90 days and credited a program navigator and improved orientation with lowering prior abscontion rates in the misdemeanor recovery court from about 44 percent to about 6 percent.

No formal vote or final action on 4 25-17 was recorded during the discussion; staff indicated the resolution will be before the commission for action next week.","County officials and Recovery Court leaders discussed a resolution to authorize the county mayor to begin moving the Hamilton County Recovery Court from the MLK Building to the East Annex at 8395 Hickory Valley Road. Commissioners pressed staff on transportation for participants, security, timing and program needs; no formal vote was recorded.","actionData","errors"]
