OCT 101979 BOOK 41 Fmu,F 644 MR. KONTOULAS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT ADOPTING ALL THE RECOMMENDATIONS SET OUT IN HIS MEMO WOULD PUT THE WAREHOUSE IN A FIRST CLASS CONDITION. HE CONTINUED THAT NOS. 3, 5, 6 AND %, SHOULD BE ATTENDED TO AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, BUT NOS. 1,2 AND 4, ARE NOT TOTALLY NECESSARY AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME. COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED IF DEHUMIDIFIERS COULD BE USED INSTEAD OF AIR CONDITIONERS, AND MR. KONTOULAS FELT AIR CONDITIONERS WOULD BE BEST. MRS.., RICHEY, SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS, STATED THAT, IN ADDITION TO DAMPNESS, DUST IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE IT SIFTS DOWN INTO THE MACHINES AND CLOGS THEM UP. SHE ALSO NOTED THAT PEOPLE HAVE TO WORK IN THE WAREHOUSE WITH THE MACHINES. COMMISSIONER LYONS CONTINUED TO DISCUSS THE NEED FOR AIR CONDITIONERS, AND ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON FELT THE TEMPERA- TURE COULD BE KEPT QUITE HIGH EXCEPT WHEN SOMEONE WAS WORKING IN THE WAREHOUSE. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT POINTED OUT THAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT WINDOW AIR CONDITIONERS, WHICH HE BELIEVED WOULD HAVE NO THERMOSTATIC CONTROLS AND WOULD, THEREFORE, RUN 24 HOURS A DAY. DISCUSSION ENSUED ON THE COST OF RUNNING AIR CONDITIONERS AND WAYS TO SOLVE MRS. RICHEY'S PROBLEMS, MRS. RICHEY STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONERS WOULD NOT HAVE TO RUN CONTINUOUSLY AND FELT POSSIBLY A COMBINATION OF DEHUMIDIFIER AND AIR CONDITIONERS COULD BE WORKED OUT. THE BOARD CONTINUED TO DISCUSS WHICH OF THE VARIOUS RECOM- MENDATIONS SHOULD BE ADOPTED AT THE PRESENT TIME, AND COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT SINCE WE ARE GOING TO KEEP THE VOTING MACHINES IN THIS WAREHOUSE AND NOT MOVE THEM OUT TO THE NEW COMPLEX, HE WAS OF THE OPINION WE SHOULD FIX THE WAREHOUSE UP COMPLETELY BECAUSE THESE MACHINES ARE VERY VALUABLE PIECES OF EQUIPMENT. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY ACCEPTED RECOMMENDATIONS NOS. 1 THROUGH 6 AS SET OUT IN MR. KONTOULAS' MEMO OF SEPTEMBER 20TH AND ASKED FOR A NEW RECOMMENDATION FOR N0. % BASED ON TODAY'S DISCUSSION. 16
