MR. MARSH REPORTED THAT IF WE DECIDE TO DO THE WORK IN PHASE B WITH COUNTY CREWS, HE HAS A MEMO FROM THE ASSISTANT ADMINIS- TRATOR ESTIMATING THAT THE COUNTY CREWS COULD BUILD THE RESTROOM FACILITY IN APPROXIMATELY 60-70 DAYS. HE NOTED THAT THE RESTROOM FACILITY AT HOBART PARK WAS BUILT FOR ABOUT $10,000, BUT YOU CAN'T BUILD AN EQUIVALENT FACILITY TODAY FOR THAT AMOUNT. COMMISSIONER DEESON POINTED OUT THAT THE PROBLEM IS WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS AND INFLATION KEEPS PUSHING THE PRICES UP. COMMISSIONER LYONS EMPHASIZED THAT THIS IS AN ISOLATED LOCATION AND FELT UNLESS YOU HAVE REALLY VANDALPROOF FACILITIES, YOU ARE WASTING YOUR MONEY. HE JUST WISHED TO BE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING WE REALLY DON'T NEED, COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT WE ALREADY HAVE THE PERMITS AND WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH A LOT TO GET THEM; ALSO, IF WE WAIT ANY LONGER, THE PROJECT WILL JUST COST US THAT MUCH MORE, SHE DID NOT FEEL WE SHOULD CHANGE OUR RECOMMENDATIONS ABOUT THE RESTROOM FACILITIES AND WAS OF THE OPINION THAT IT IS ALMOST IMPERATIVE THAT WE STAY WITH WHAT WE HAD ORIGINALLY PLANNED. COMMISSIONER LYONS AGREED IT IS POSSIBLE TO KNOCK HOLES IN CONCRETE BLOCKS, AND CHAIRMAN SIEBERT DID NOT FEEL WE SHOULD ELIMINATE ONE CROSS-OVER EITHER. FINANCE OFFICER BARTON CONFIRMED THAT THE COUNTY HAS ALLOCATED $50,000 TO THIS PROJECT, PLUS WHAT IS TO COME FROM THE STATE, WHICH WOULD ADD UP TO $92,500. COMMISSIONER LOY ASKED MR. MARSH IF THE COUNTY DID THE WORK OUTLINED BY MR. MARSH, IF HE WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT WITH $20,000 EXTRA WE COULD COMPLETE THE PROJECT. MR, MARSH BELIEVED THAT WE COULD WITH THE COUNTY CREWS DOING THE LANDSCAPING, PUMP HOUSE, PARKING LOTS, RESTROOMS, HOLES AND CABLES, ETC. ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON INFORMED THE BOARD THAT COUNTY CREWS COULD CONSTRUCT PHASE "B" WITHOUT ANY IMPACT ON THE COUNTY'S OPERATIONS, BUT IF WE DID THE ENTIRE PROJECT; IT WOULD IMPACT BRIDGE M. 9.1113' 47 BOOK 44 FACE 394 AUG 2 71980
