how we interact with Constitutional Officers; that we do not hire or fire them. He believed many people do not understand this. Commissioner Lyons noted that is why he has had numerous discussions with the Sheriff to be sure we do not create a problem with his department or give the impression that we have powers that we do not have, and it, therefore, is his recommendation that the agenda of that meeting be limited to those items on the ministers' request that involve the possible inadequacies of our ordinances. GIFFORD COMMUNITY BUILDING Chairman Scurlock advised that he has been receiving calls about the Gifford Community Building, and he believed this building basically has to be controlled by the school system. He also has received a letter saying the $250,000 is inadequate other than to build a shell, and-ask•ing about the level of the County's participation in the construction, the on-going maintenance, etc. Commissioner Bird reviewed the history of how matters have progressed over the years in trying to provide a Gifford Community Building - the donation of the property and the architect's services - the allocation of state funds depending on the support of the School Board, etc. He advised that they are starting to bring all the pieces together to when the Commission can get involved, i.e., when the building is built we will have to decide whose name it is in, who is responsible for mainte- nance, upkeep, scheduling, etc. He did believe we will need a meeting between the School Board, a representative of the Commission, and the Civic Progressive League, but noted that as far as he is concerned, the County's contribution toward this building has been his efforts and the willingness of this Commission to work with the community to acquire the land and acquire the free service of the architect. 81 BOOK 65 F'� , L. �
