AIJG 2.2 1984 Boot 58 F,,,E 88 Administrator Wright stated that he had no problem with the bids as reviewed by Mr. Calmes, but he did feel we need to discuss space. He, therefore, wished the Board to consider the information set out in the following memo: TO:. The Honorable Members of DATE: August 20, 1984 FILE: the Opp County Commissioners FROM: Michael Wrigh County Admini SUBJECT: FUTURE SPACE REQUIREMENTS FOR COUNTY OPERATIONS REFERENCES: Before final award can be made for the renovation of the Fourth Courtroom, the County Commission needs to address future space needs at the Courthouse. Using growth figures from the 1983 Frizzell Architects Court Component Study, staff,deve.loped the following -analysis of future space needs by department: Office Present 1985 1990 Clerk 12,500' 132250' 139850' State Attorney 22880'. 3,500' 5,100' Public Defender 1,200" 1,400' 22400' Sheriff's Office 22830'. 2,830' 3,630' 19,4101. 202980' 242980' The four offices listed above are at full capacity with their present space'allocations. *The only available space in the Courthouse Complex is a 400'square-foot storeroom adjacent to Judge Stikelethe.r's office and the 2,800 square foot area in the annex designated for the Fourth Courtroom. If the Courtroom is renovated, in 1985 there will be a space deficit of .1,570 '.square feet. ' In" 1990,. the deficit will grow to 5, 5*70 ..squa:re feet. *These figures are' obtained by subtracting present space allocations from the anticipated space needs. From a pure space perspective, ignoring momentarily.any need for additional parking at the Courthouse, the obvious answer is someone has to move Due to• -the high cost and lack'of available land in the downtown area, 'an expansion of the -Courthouse on adjacent property probably will not be -feasible.: Space at the Courthouse is currently.allocated as follows: Office Square Footage Clerk of Court 122480 Courtroom A 1,326 Courtroom B 12326 Courtroom C 1,560 52
