APR 91990 - - 0 mpmnR 4Nnl im TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: County Administrator Bnox 43- PaCE 215. . April 9, 1980 SUBJECT: Renovation of Court House, Annex and County Admin. Building A meeting was held with Reinhold Construction representatives and County representatives, Wednesday April 2, 1980. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss renovatinj areas. The Contractor would like to start both renovation projects -simultaneously, April 21, 1980-. The contract allows this, however, the contract also states our work will not be disrupted. The starting date of Aoril 21, poses no problem at the Old Hospital site. There is a tremendous logistic problem at the Court House regardless of the beginning date. Reinhold construction plan of renovation designates the North East corner, first floor (Administrative area) and the Southern 2/3rds of the second floor as early demolition areas. The demolition of the covered ramp and the construction of the elevator would also be in the early stages. Their plan can be supported, however, it will require the utmost cooperation between all parties and the rental of additional office space, court room and hearing rooms on a temporary basis. There are three alternatives to the renovating of these buildings. ALT. 1 Begin simultaneously renovating of both sites - extend the Court House contract to coincide with the Administrative building. This would require: Rental of additional office space for the County Administrator's office and staff including the Secretary to the Board of C. C. (2,000 sq. ft.) The Supervisor of Elections ( 900 sq. ft.) The Sheriff's Office (1,425 sq. ft.) Youth Guidance -Office, (155 sq. ft.) and the Courts, (6,000 sq. ft.) Freda Wright will redistribute her personnel to facilitate renovating of her spaces. The Tax Collector and Property Appraiser's area will not be renovated until they are relocated. The Courts pose the greatest problem to the alternative. The Judges are concerned that demolition and construction will interferewith their conducting court and hearings. The most affected area would be those courts that require verbatim recordings of the proceedings. Another area of concern is the security of sensitive hearings, such as adoption, child abuse, etc. If the alternative was selected, appropriate space would be required to hold court and hearings. Advantaqe: 1. Earliest completion of both buildings.
