AUG 211985 <br />BOOK 61 F'U 818 <br />Vice Chairman Scurlock noted that we received correspondence <br />just recently offering the 2001 Building to the County but not <br />specifying a purchase price. He wondered if that would be <br />involved in this consideration. <br />Administrator Wright did feel we should take a look at that <br />building; however, he was not sure we want to put the Sheriff's <br />office there for a couple of reasons - 1) our space needs in the <br />Administration Building are growing rapidly and 2) we are going <br />to need courthouse space and space for the Health Department. He <br />felt we need to look at the 2001 Building in relation to those <br />needs and go ahead and build the Sheriff's building where we have <br />expansion capabilities, plenty of parking area, and proximity to <br />the jail. <br />Vice Chairman Scurlock understood then that Administrator <br />Wright was saying that this decision would not be affected by the <br />availability of the 2001 Building, and the Administrator agreed, <br />stressing that he felt we should look at it but in terms of the <br />many other areas where space is needed. <br />Commissioner Bird asked who would be working with Architect <br />Block on conceptual design and Administrator Wright advised that <br />General Services Director Sonny Dean has been assigned that task <br />and he also would be keeping an eye on it. <br />It was noted that Commissioner Wodtke also had the assignment <br />of watching for additional space. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously (3-0) <br />awarded the architectural contract for the Sheriff's <br />Administration Building to C. E. Block Architect, <br />Inc., with the recommended deletion and agreed it <br />was not necessary to include a timeframe. <br />SAID CONTRACT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK. <br />21 <br />
