in Florida from nuclear bombing in any event. He did agree that Civil Defense has had problems with their present quarters and was in favor of some moderate move to get them something more adequate on a temporary basis. Motion was made by Commissioner Bird, seconded by Commissioner Lyons, to have staff work with Civil Defense Director Nuzie and come back with a recommendation on making the least costly modifications possible to the space available, with the understanding that we are looking at this on a temporary basis of 2 to 3 years until a new jail can be constructed. Commissioner Wodtke asked if it is the Motion's intent that we are making a firm commitment that when we build the jail it will include construction of an approved EOC. Commissioner Lyons felt this still is an open option and stated that his second to the Motion did not include that commitment. Commissioner Bird also stated that he did not add that to the Motion, but it was his opinion that it makes sense to have Civil Defense and. the Sheriff in one contiguous building, and funding may be more palatable at that time. Discussion continued iri regard to the feeling that further study must be done re location, funding, etc., before making any firm commitment on the EOC. Civil Defense Director Nuzie asked if this means we are not going to send a letter of intent, and Chairman Scurlock explained the intent is to make this a temporary situation, design a facility that will be reusable with minimum cost for future county use with the thought of exploring additional facilities in the Sheriff's future office complex, and leave the door open for other possibilities. Commissioner Lyons wished to know if the administrative staff concurs that we have the proposed space available, and Assistant Administrator Greene felt that at this time we would be looking at about 1,200 sq. ft.in this building.
