Administrator Balczun stated that they now have it down to two people, and he will discuss it with the committee. This person will be the chokepoint for everything going back and forth between architect, county, etc. He confirmed that it won't be Mr. Dean, but for the record he wished to note that Mr. Dean, who started with the project and was transferred interdepartmentally to Utilities, was kind enough to see this project through even though it was no longer his responsibility. He wished to thank Mr. Dean and express his appreciation. Commissioner Eggert understood there was an original Phase I design that was cut, and asked if we are going back to the original. Commissioner Wheeler stated that we are going in to what we have currently built. In the original Phase I, some of the areas that were cut, for instance, were the kitchen, and in this contract we will have to readdress the kitchen and how many prisoners it can feed. He further advised that it has been suggested that we look into the possibility of sending out proposals for contracting for food services to see if it could be done cheaper than the county has been able to do it. The Sheriff has endorsed this idea verbally. Also some of the booking area has been cut down, and we are going to try to expand where they are. The only thing we will be building in Phase Il is the maximum security pod. All the support facilities will be back over in the original facility. Commissioner Eggert believed the statement has been made a number of times that cutting the design required more personnel because you couldn't see in all places. She knew that a change in design can cause a change in personnel, and since that statement was made, she wanted to be sure that if that were indeed a problem, we are not repeating it. Commissioner Wheeler assured her that these concerns will be addressed in the next phase. OCT 2? 1987 89 pp E
