Commissioner Wodtke stated that in no way would he <br />support Alternative C, which is to write bid specifications <br />with the Judges' concurrence and request bids for carpeting <br />to replace that removed. ' <br />Commissioner Fletcher commented that we can spin our <br />wheels on this forever, and he felt we should go ahead and <br />fix it as the Judges have requested and minimize the <br />taxpayer's expense to get this done. <br />Commissioner Lyons stated that he would not vote to <br />spend any money to put new carpets in the Judges' offices <br />until we have more information. <br />Motion was made by Commissioner Fletcher to authorize <br />staff to implement Recommendation C in memo from Dr. Hardin <br />dated March 12, 198f.*' Motion died for lack of a second. <br />Chairman Scurlock expressed his feeling that the only <br />way to resolve this problem is to take the one courtroom, <br />block everything off and experiment by placing a carpet in <br />there - this may lead us to a satisfactory solution, and <br />then we do the next office and the next until the Chambers <br />are fully available and the Judges are fully satisfied. <br />Chairma-n Lyons asked how we would know what carpet <br />would be the correct one to use, and Chairman Scurlock did <br />not know. He felt these people were sensitized and the <br />average person does not have a problem. <br />Commissioner Lyons believed that we will have carpets <br />back, but that it is untimely at this point. <br />Commissioner Wodtke had no problem in voting for carpet <br />once the medical and other tests are done. He pointed out <br />the problem could be caused by the fibres in the rug or it <br />could be a combination of other things - it could turn out <br />that the new carpet also would exude irritating fumes. <br />Commissioner Wodtke stated that he could approve <br />Recommendations A and B, and Commissioner Bird agreed. <br />MAR 17 1982 <br />118 <br />e-vor 49 ME 261 <br />
