M M M <br />ing the length of the lease and the periods of parking seem to ize <br />acceptable. It is my thought that what we should do is present <br />this matter to the County Commission to work out any details so <br />that the final lease can be worked out between the parties. As_ <br />stated before, I think the County should make some commitment to <br />go ahead with the project if we are going to enter into the <br />lease, and that some proposed future schedule be tentatively <br />agreed upon. <br />If you agree with the above, please have this matter put on the <br />next agenda of the County Commission so we can discuss -it and get <br />closer to working out this matter, which I think is of benefit <br />to the taxpayers to have the use of this valuable property for <br />county business. <br />y truly yours, <br />v <br />R ner Jacks n <br />J:bbs <br />cc: Dr. Melv Hill <br />Reverend James Newsome <br />Administrator Balczun advised that Public Works would like <br />to have this matter tabled while they refine their projected cost <br />figures for paving the church parking lot. <br />Attorney -Robert Jackson advised that the church is in the <br />process of long-range planning, and it seemed to him that the <br />cost of paving the church's parking lot certainly would be less <br />than purchasing and paving other land. He did not understand why <br />the cost of paving should have anything to do with the agreement. <br />Chairman Scurlock felt the problem was that our general <br />contingency funds are down to $373,000 for the rest of the fiscal <br />year. <br />Administrator Balczun stated that the projected cost of <br />paving the lot exceeds $40,000 and Public Works wants to analyze <br />the cost benefit of paving a parking lot a block and a half away <br />from the present Courthouse site when we don't know where the <br />future Courthouse is going to be located. In addition, staff <br />needs to know if the oak tree is going to come down because that <br />would change the per parking space cost substantially. <br />Chairman Scurlock felt Attorney Jackson needs an answer soon <br />on whether or not we are going to pave this lot, so that the <br />church can move along with their long-range planning. <br />1 1 <br />BOOK 68 P"UE 170 <br />
