Attorney Brandenburg explained that the budget <br />workshops did not provide outside court space for next year <br />and this fact was discussed with Judge Stikelether's attorney. <br />He continued that the Judge desired to pursue the negligence <br />action, but had no real desire to force the County to provide <br />outside spaces. The Attorney commented that Judge Stikelether <br />was not interested in aesthetics whatsoever, just so he would <br />.have enough space opened in'his present quarters to allow <br />him to conduct hearings, which could be done at a bare, <br />minimum cost. The Attorney recommended that the Board not <br />agree to that unless:, <br />1. They agree not to bring any type of action against <br />the County for providing adequate court space. <br />2. Anything that the Board did, such as opening up <br />space, would not constitute any recognition that there were <br />any problems in the Courthouse and that there were problems <br />with Judge Stikelether's health. <br />Attorney Brandenburg would recommend that the Board <br />authorize the County staff to discuss the matter with Judge <br />Stikelether in order to see what was necessary for demolition, <br />the cost, etc. <br />Discussion followed, and it was felt the staff could <br />explore with the Judge what he would be satisfied with, <br />what it might cost, and have the necessary agreements to <br />satisfy both the Judge and the Attorney. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, that the <br />Board authorize staff to explore this <br />possibility with Judge Stikelether and <br />report back through the Attorney. <br />37 <br />
