However, Mr. Pinkerton was in Atlanta <br />working on a new jail design for Rockford, Georgia that <br />could easily be adapted to fill Indian River County's needs <br />for a less expensive jail to build and one that would <br />require fewer employees.

The agreement was <br />drawn, but it was never executed by the County. <br />Technically, Frizzell Architects was always responsible for <br />the project. <br />Attorney Brandenburg advised that the contract always <br />has been with Frizzell and still is. <br />3 <br />HIM <br />The assignment <br />Rai 5.6 .E <br />
