FINAL COMMENTS FROM BOARD MEMBERS <br />Chairman Bowden invited comments from all Board members. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan referred to inconsistencies in the evidence presented and noted <br />that Mr. Lowe was not there to verify the real estate lease; there was no original signed copy; and <br />there was no true date on the lease to show that it did go into effect. He gave his understanding <br />of the issues as presented, and remarked that the biggest thing in his mind was the timeline <br />provided by New Horizons (beginning April 1, 2005 when the facilities on campus were <br />vacated). There was also the June 2005 breaking and entering; and when power went out in <br />October 2005, which was not restored until April 2006 and then the Mobile Team came in May <br />2006, which, in his timeline, is greater than 12 months. Commissioner O'Bryan believed this <br />goes back to the 50% rebuild rule and does not apply to the continuing use criteria. He did not <br />see that the use was continued within the one-year period, and thought the one-year period was <br />valid, and therefore would deny staff's recommendation. <br />Commissioner Flescher remarked that there was only one timeline and everyone was in <br />agreement. He also discussed the timeline of April 1, 2005 when all activities ceased, and <br />personnel and occupants vacated the facility, up to the time (May 15 or 16, 2006) when the <br />Mobile Crisis Team moved in. Commissioner Flesher disclosed that he contacted staff about the <br />permitting process and work being attempted, and it does not appear that there was any steadfast <br />evidence that there were any confirmed work being done by staff. To him, the only thing that <br />had extreme clarity in today's process was the two dates, and that was what he rested his <br />decision and support upon. He acknowledged that The Source provides a well needed service to <br />the County. <br />Vice Chairman Davis did not think the subject property was in use or was occupied <br />during the 12 -month period to meet the requirement. <br />April 24, 2008 52 <br />Special Call Meeting (The Source) <br />
