ADMINISTRATOR NELSON CONTINUED THAT HE HAS CHECKED WITH THE COURTS IN ST. L.UCIE COUNTY WHO HAVE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH THIS FIRM; HE BELIEVED THAT THE PROPOSAL IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,387.95 IS REASONABLE; AND HE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT IT BE ACCEPTEDs DISCUSSION FOLLOWED AS TO WHAT THE JUDGES ARE USING PRESENTLY, AND IT WAS EXPLAINED THAT THEY ARE USING MANY VARIETIES OF BOOKCASES — SOME WITH GLASS DOORS, SOME SALVAGED FROM THE HOSPITAL, AND SOME HOMEMADE. THE ADMINISTRATOR NOTED THAT THE FUNDS FOR THESE BOOKCASES WERE FIGURED INTO THE ORIGINAL BUDGET. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BIRD, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER FLETCHER, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY ACCEPTED THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE ADMINISTRATOR AND AUTHORIZED HIM TO SPEND UP TO $3,387.95 FOR BOOKCASES FOR THE CIRCUIT COURT AREA AS DISCUSSED. .JANUARY 2, 1981, MADE HOLIDAY FOR COUNTY COMMISSION EMPLOYEES ADMINISTRATOR NELSON NOTED THAT THE ONLY PERSONNEL WORKING ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 2ND, WILL BE THOSE EMPLOYED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. THE NEWSPAPERS, HOWEVER, HAVE REPORTED THAT THE COURTHOUSE WILL BE CLOSED ON THAT DAY, AND HE FELT THIS MATTER SHOULD BE CLARIFIED. CHAIRMAN LYONS STATED THAT IF HE WERE TO REVOTE ON THIS MATTER, HE WOULD CHANGE HIS POSITION BECAUSE HE FELT TO HAVE DIFFERENT HOLIDAYS THAN THE CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS IS WRONG, AND, IN ADDITION, IT WOULD RESULT IN HAVING ONLY ONE PERSON IN THE COURTHOUSE ON THAT FRIDAY, WHICH IS NOT ONLY A CONFUSING SITUATION, BUT UNSAFE. HE WAS UNHAPPY THAT THE HOLIDAY WAS MORE OR LESS SHOVED ON THE BOARD WITHOUT MORE CHANCE FOR DISCUSSION, BUT FELT WE SHOULD POSSIBLY RECONSIDER THE SITUATION AT THIS TIME.
