NOV 191980 <br />Boox 45 PnE 295 <br />BIRD'S SUGGESTION IN REGARD TO OBTAINING LOCAL BIDS SHOULD BE INVESTI— <br />GATED. HE EMPHASIZED THAT IF THE COMMISSION MERELY CAN THINK IN TERMS <br />OF PANELING VERSUS A PAINTED WALL, HE BELIEVED THE DETAILS CAN BE <br />WORKED OUT. <br />COMMISSIONER WODTKE AGREED THAT OUR COURTROOMS AND JUSTICE <br />FACILITIES SHOULD BE COMPATIBLE WITH THOSE THROUGHOUT THE STATE; HE <br />STATED THAT HE ALSO WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS AREA PANELED, WHICH HE <br />BELIEVED IS GOOD FOR MAINTENANCE, BUT HE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE <br />POSSIBLE EMERGENCY STRUCTURAL THINGS THAT WE MIGHT HAVE TO DO WITH <br />THESE DOLLARS. HE, THEREFORE, WOULD LIKE TO GET THE STRUCTURAL WORK <br />AND CEILING WORK DONE WITHOUT TOO MANY CHANGE ORDERS AND THEN ADDRESS <br />THE PANELING AFTER THE CONTRACTOR IS THROUGH WITH THAT AREA. COMMIS— <br />SIONER WODTKE CONTINUED THAT IN THE EVENT THERE ARE NO DOLLARS LEFT <br />OVER AT COMPLETION, HE FELT THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED EITHER OUT OF <br />THE BUDGET OR REVENUE SHARING. HE THEN POINTED OUT THAT THE BOARD <br />JUST APPROVED A CHANGE ORDER FOR PUTTING GYPSUM BOARD OVER THE EXISTING <br />PANELING IN THE COURTROOMS AND ASKED IF WANT TO COVER THE EXISTING <br />PANELING WITH GYPSUM BOARD AND THEN PANEL OVER THAT. <br />GENERAL DISCUSSION CONTINUED IN REGARD TO ALTERNATIVES FOR <br />PANELING THE COURTROOMS WITHOUT USING THE GYPSUM BOARD, FILLING IN <br />THE SPACES BETWEEN THE EXISTING PANELING, ETC., AND COMMISSIONER <br />FLETCHER BROUGHT UP THE POSSIBILITY OF THE BAR ASSOCIATION HAVINC- <br />SOME FUNDS TO DEAL WITH THE EXPENSE OF PANELING. <br />MR. KONTOULAS TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO THE BOARD THE VARIOUS <br />PROBLEMS INVOLVED, THE HEIGHT OF THE PANELING, THE RECESSED AREA, ETC. <br />COMMISSIONER FLETCHER ASKED IF THIS IS AN EMERGENCY ITEM, <br />AND COMMISSIONER WODTKE NOTED THAT IT IS AN EMERGENCY TO THE EXTENT <br />THAT WE HAVE APPROVED A CHANGE ORDER AUTHORIZING DRYWALL. HE CON— <br />TINUED THAT HE IS TRYING TO SAY IF WE LEAVE OUT THE DRYWALL AND SUB— <br />STITUTE PANELING NOW RATHER THAN GOING BACK IN SIX MONTHS OR SO AND <br />PANEL OVER THE DRYWALL, IT MIGHT SAVE MONEY IN THE LONG RUN EVEN <br />THOUGH IT WOULD COST A FEW DOLLARS MORE NOW. <br />k <br />
