MR. KONTOULAS EXPLAINED THAT THE ORIGINAL DIMENSION BETWEEN THE CIRCUIT JUDGES' OFFICES AND THEIR SECRETARIES' AREA DID NOT ALLOW ENOUGH ROOM FOR SECRETARIES AND FILES; SO, THE JUDGES' WALLS WERE MOVED BACK Z'. THIS ACTUALLY WAS DONE PRIOR TO THIS APPROVAL. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT ASKED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE BOARD SHOULD NOT APPROVE THIS CHANGE, AND THE ATTORNEY STATED THAT THE CON- TRACTOR WOULD HAVE TO MOVE THE WALL BACK AT HIS OWN EXPENSE. MR, KONTOULAS CONTINUED THAT THIS MOVE INVOLVED SOME CAHNGES IN THE CEILINGS, AND SOME ACOUSTICAL AND ELECTRICAL WORK. COMMISSIONER WODTKE QUESTIONED $75.00 FOR SMALL TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT, AND MR. KONTOULAS NOTED THAT THERE ARE A MULTITUDE OF SMALL TOOLS THIS COULD BE, AND HE DID NOT CHECK ON THIS DOWN TO THE LAST DETAIL. DISCUSSION CONTINUED IN REGARD TO THE RELOCATION OF THE TOILETS, AND CHAIRMAN SIEBERT ASKED IF WE WILL GET SOME CREDIT BE- CAUSE BACK TO BACK IS CHEAPER. MR. KONTOULAS STATED THAT WE WILL RECEIVE SOME CREDIT ON THE CEILINGS. COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED IF THIS WALL WAS IN A DIFFERENT PLACE ON THE ORIGINAL PLAN, AND MR. KONTOULAS STATED THAT IT IS A BRAND NEW WALL. COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED WHY WE SHOULD PAY TO CHANGE IT WHEN IT WASN'T ON THE ORIGINAL PLAN, AND MR. KONTOULAS STATED THAT IT WAS CONSTRUCTED WHEN THIS CHANGE CAME ABOUT. THE CONTRACTOR DID THE CHANGE HIMSELF. COMMISSIONER LYONS STILL DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE ADDITIONAL COST FOR THE WALL WHEN IT WAS NEVER BUILT BEFORE, AND MR. KONTOULAS EXPLAINED THAT IT RESULTED IN A CHANGE OF SOME OF THE CEILINGS. DISCUSSION CONTINUED IN DETAIL ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE JUDGES APPROVED THE ORIGINAL PLAN AND THEN REQUESTED THIS CHANGE, AND CHAIRMAN SIEBERT WISHED TO KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE JUDGES DID NOT LIKE THE WALL AGAIN. HE FELT ANY REQUESTS FOR CHANGES IN THE DESIGN SHOULD BE MADE TO THE BOARD. IN FURTHER DISCUSSION, IT WAS FELT THE BOARD HAD PREVIOUSLY AGREED TO SOME CHANGES REQUESTED BY THE JUDGES.
