Nov 2 1995 p BOOK 62 Bird felt it would be very helpful if -we could work with a local architect to check out other clubhouses in the area and that we need to do this on a preliminary basis until we know the final constructions costs, which should be in 60 days or so. Commissioner Scurlock believed that might be a bit premature since we have not decided yet what kind of services or operation we will have out there. We may choose to have an outside firm operate the facility for us and they may have their own ideas as to design and layout and come in with a proposal to construct the facility and enter into a long term lease with some percentage of gross coming back to the County. Commissioner Bird just felt that time is getting away from us and that we should be moving ahead, even though it might be a waste of Mr. Block.'s time. Chairman Lyons suggested that we advertise for proposals on both a County -operated clubhouse and an outside managed clubhouse and then sit down and analyze the difference. Administrator Wright advised that staff will bring a recommendation to the Board sometime in January, after more of the variables are known. Chairman Lyons felt there was a lot going on that should come back to the Commission, and Administrator Wright assured him it will be brought back to the Board. Chairman Lyons and Commissioner Bowman agreed with Commissioner Scurlock about not having Mr. Block go ahead with the preliminary plans before knowing all the variables and without any other architects having the opportunity to participate, but Commissioner Bird and Commissioner Wodtke were in favor of it. Chairman Lyons suggested that we not hire an architect today, but prepare a list of what has to be done and when, and then attack the items on an orderly basis, and the Commissioners indicated their unanimous agreement to that approach. 44
