L FELT THE COUNTY SHOULD HIRE AN ARCHITECT TO INSPECT THE PREMISES AND GIVE US A CERTIFICATION OF WHETHER IT IS CAPABLE OF BEING REMODELED OR DEMOLISHED. THE ATTORNEY SUSPECTED WE COULD GET INTO LITIGATION AND THE INFORMATION WE HAVE RECEIVED FROM THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT IS LIMITED, AND WOULD PREFER THE EXPERIENCE OF AN ENGINEER IN THIS MATTER. HE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE STRUCTURE IS SO DILAPIDATED THAT IT COULD NOT STAND TO BE GUTTED OUT AND REMODELED - BUT WE NEED TO'''KNOW THIS INFORMATION. COMMISSIONER WODTKE REITERATED THAT, BASED ON OUR ORDINANCE, HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AN ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER LOOK AT THE BUILDING AND BE ABLE TO STATE WHETHER OR NOT IT IS USABLE. ATTORNEY COLLINS COMMENTED THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HE MEANT. HE ADDED THAT THE LAWSUIT HAS NOT OCCURRED YET; BUT HE WOULD LIKE FOR THE BOARDS ORDER TO DEMOLISH THIS BUILDING TO BE BASED ON EXPERT TESTIMONY. COMMISSIONER DEESON THOUGHT IT WAS TOO BAD THAT WE HAD TO TAKE THIS SORT OF ACTION, BUT HE DID AGREE WITH THE ATTORNEY. THE ATTORNEY INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE INTENDED TO INCLUDE THE COST OF HIRING AN ARCHITECT OR ENGINEER ON THE LIEN THAT IS FILED AGAINST THE PROPERTY. COMMISSIONER Loy CONCURRED WITH THE ATTORNEY THAT THE BOARD DOES WANT TO HAVE EXPERT OPINIONS ON RECORD. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER Loy, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DEESON, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AGREED TO AUTHORIZE THE ADMINISTRATOR TO HIRE AN ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER TO PROCEED WITH THE INSPECTION OF THE HIGHLAND MOTEL.
