Frizzell Architects if it would be to our advantage to tack this <br />job on to the other jail project and if we could be assured of <br />the continuing services of Tom Pinkerton. <br />Assistant County Administrator Sonny Dean reported that <br />Frizzell has said they are very willing to extend the contract to <br />include this facility, and that Attorney Brandenburg has <br />confirmed that this is legal. It is staff's recommendation that <br />we go with the extended contract with Frizzell for the design of <br />the minimum -security facility and go out to bid for the actual <br />construction of the building. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bird, that the Board authorize <br />staff to negotiate an extension of services contract <br />with Frizzell Architects for the design of the 110 -bed <br />minimum -security facility, and come back to the Board <br />for approval. <br />Administrator Wright stated that this will provide a <br />sentencing alternative for the judges and will have some positive <br />effect on the current lawsuit by the State. <br />Attorney Brandenburg advised that they are flying to <br />Tallahassee on Friday to meet with the Department of Corrections <br />to see if this action will satisfy the State for the moment. <br />Administrator Wright stated that we have only one option for <br />funding the project and that is to borrow money, because we <br />cannot extend the one-year, one -cent sales tax without a <br />referendum. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion <br />was voted on and carried unanimously. <br />59 <br />JUN 1 9, 1985 BOOK 61 PA;F 245 <br />
