Following the vote, Mr. Ross responded to questions from the committee about whether there will be delays as a result of the changes in the project's scope. He said the project is scheduled for completion in late September or October 2012. He also said that there will be no net increase in the available beds at the facility, but that the number of beds available in the Special Care Unit will increase by 50 percent as a result of the project.
