SMITH INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE CONFIGURATION OF THE <br />HOSPITAL BUILDING IS SUCH THAT RENOVATION COULD BE STAGED TO ALLOW FOR <br />AN ORDERLY TRANSITION OF OFFICIES, WHICH WOULD MINIMIZE THE IMPACT ON <br />THE OVERALL CHANGE OF FACILITIES, AND COULD BE WORKED OUT SO IT WOULD <br />NOT INTERRUPT COUNTY FUNCTIONS WHILE IT WAS TAKING PLACE. <br />CHAIRMAN WODTKE FELT THERE WILL BE A LARGE PROBLEM WITH THE s <br />ELECTRICAL AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS. <br />MR.
