rp- III BmK 43 PAGE 909 ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT HE REALIZED THE .JUDGES AND ATTORNEYS APPARENTLY DID NOT LOOK OVER THE COURTROOM CAREFULLY ENOUGH, BUT HE REQUESTED THAT THE BOARD REMEMBER THAT THE .JUDGE WILL HAVE TO BE IN THAT COURTROOM EVERY DAY AND THAT THEY GIVE ALL HIS RE- QUESTS FULL CONSIDERATION. DISCUSSION CONTINUED IN REGARD TO THE PROBLEMS INVOLVED IN MOVING THE WALL OF THE COURTROOM. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE, SECONDED BY COM- MISSIONER DEESON, TO SECURE CHANGE ORDER PROPOSALS FOR ITEMS 1, 3, 4, 5 AND 6 AS REQUESTED BY CIRCUIT .JUDGE SMITH. VICE CHAIRMAN LOY ASKED IF THERE IS ANY OTHER WAY POSSIBLE TO EXTEND THE COURTROOM, AND MR. KONTOULAS NOTED THAT JUDGE SMITH'S FIRST REQUEST WAS THAT IT BE EXTENDED 8 TO 10', WHICH WAS IMPOSSIBLE. HE EXPLAINED THAT THE WALLS SURROUNDING THE COURTROOM ARE SOUND WALLS, AND MOVING THE WALL MIGHT TRANSFER THE NOISE IN THE LOBBY BACK. HE ALSO STATED THAT HE WOULD HATE TO LOSE THE WINDOW IN THE LOBBY. ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON POINTED OUT THAT THE COURT- ROOMS IN THE 2001 BUILDING ARE 2' NARROWER, AND THE JUDGES SEEM TO BE PERFECTLY HAPPY. ALSO, THE ONE DRAWN IN THE PLANS IS LONGER. COMMISSIONER LYONS STATED THAT HE WILL VOTE AGAINST THE MOTION BECAUSE HE BELIEVED ITEM 2 SHOULD BE COSTED OUT AT LEAST. VICE CHAIRMAN Loy CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND CARRIED WITH CHAIRMAN LYONS VOTING IN OPPOSITION. MR. KONTOULAS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE HAS RECEIVED SOME COST FIGURES ON CHANGE ORDERS THAT WE HAVE HAD, CHANGE ORDER PROPOSAL #1 INVOLVES THE ROOFING OF THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING. THE ORIGINAL SPECIFICATIONS SPECIFIED AN ALUMINUM MEMBRANE: THE OLD GRAVEL WAS TO BE SCRAPED OFF, AND THIS WAS TO BE LAID ON TOP AND BLOW TORCHED ON. THE CONTRACTOR DID NOT AGREE WITH THE SPECIFICATIONS AND DID NOT FEEL THIS COULD BE DONE BECAUSE OF THE BLISTERS ON THE ROOF. THE SPECS WERE REWRITTEN, AND THE NEW ROOF IS VINYL. THIS WOULD BE APPLIED WITH LOOSE GRAVEL. COMMISSIONER LYONS QUESTIONED WHY WE DON'T HAVE A REFLECTIVE ROOF: HE FELT IT WILL MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE HEAT LOAD.
