AAR 10 987 BooK 67 ixi555 Chairman Scurlock felt that before he would vote for the exercise equipment, he would have to be assured of the following: 1) A commitment is made to a mandatory program and that a physical checkup be required of each individual prior to participation in the program. 2) Full utilization of the equipment. 3) The equipment is made available to other County employees such as firemen, etc. Commissioner Eggert still felt there is more physical fitness equipment than what is necessary, and Sheriff Dobeck explained that the equipment is necessary in order to have a program that works all of the muscles in the body. Sixteen people will work out in each 40 -minute segment, and each person will work out 3 hours a week. Commissioner Bird agreed that the program must be mandatory. Chairman Scurlock very much believed that a good physical fitness program makes for a more productive, alert employee. Commissioner Eggert did not dispute that, but felt it could be done with $30,000 instead of $49,000. Director Baird advised that they priced out each item on the Operations Equipment list and feel that the cost is very close. They left a 5% contingency construction cost, because on a. project of this size, there are always unforeseen items. The Architect's fee is an estimate because the telephone consultant's fee is still outstanding. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved the estimated costs of the Sheriff's Administration Building as set out in the above memo and the costs for the physical fitness equipment. 31
