A resident speaking during public comment read from packet page 70 and urged the county to explain a roughly $7.5 million plan to move the Department of Public Works to Maplewood and to relocate staff from Liberty to Monticello and other campuses.
"Is there a cost benefit analysis done on this? Who's the winner and who's the loser? Why do we have to move them? Why do we gotta spend 7 and a half million dollars for this?" the resident asked. The commenter also asked what the county would tell Liberty businesses that rely on trade from the Liberty campus and raised traffic concerns for Monticello.
The resident framed the relocation as a reversal of past campus allocations and said the move would create unnecessary costs and traffic impacts. The speaker emphasized that the county should justify the move and provide analysis of winners and losers in the change.
The transcript records the public comment and the speaker's questions but does not show any staff response or a formal reply at the meeting.
No motion, vote or staff decision on the relocation was recorded in the transcript excerpt.
