MAY 21 1386 <br />BOOK 64 Fp.cE519 <br />most cases, they have reduced the square footage so that we are <br />just a hair below state standards, but the building functions <br />very well and it has the necessary space. The various <br />departments have been designed for a 2-3 year growth pattern, <br />with area for further growth over the next ten year period. Mr. <br />Ramos believed the facility has a growth potential to the year <br />2000. <br />Commissioner Wodtke asked if it is possible to build higher, <br />and Mr. Ramos stated that the building has been designed for two <br />floors, but he believed it would be inexpensive to design it for <br />three. He noted there is considerable potential for growth in <br />parking. There are 85 spaces required, and they provided 156. <br />Commissioner Wodtke inquired how we ended up with Veterans <br />and Welfare in this building, and Administrator Wright explained <br />that staff looked at this, and these services just seemed to fit; <br />also we are leasing space for them now. <br />Commissioner Wodtke had great misgivings about having a flat <br />roof, as in his experience, they always leak. <br />Mr. Ramos advised that the roof has a 1/4' slope per foot; <br />it is designed the same as the universities and other similar <br />type of buildings they have been doing for years, and they have <br />had no problems. He further advised that his firm also has a <br />construction company, and they are estimating costs as they go <br />along, and they are looking at a 20 year bondable roof. He <br />emphasized they want to try to give the County a building as <br />maintenance free as possible. <br />Vice Chairman Lyons commented that we now are talking in <br />court about a bonded roof, and Commissioner Bowman also stated <br />that she did not want the County to be a guinea pig on a new type <br />of.roof. <br />Mr. Ramos assured the Board that the roof will be done <br />correctly. <br />62 <br />r <br />
