TO: County Commissioners <br />FROM: <br />DATE: November 1, 1988 FILE: <br />SUBJECT: Courthouse Study <br />Gary C. Wheeler REFERENCES: <br />Chairman <br />Courthouse Advisory Committee <br />The Courthouse Advisory Committee met with Mr. Reeves, Architects <br />Design Group, Inc. on September 26, 1988 and unanimously <br />recommended Option C of the Space Needs Study subject to approval <br />of the different agencies involved, with the understanding that <br />there is land available for a parking garage in the future, and <br />removal of the Pocahontas building option. <br />Copies of the individual portions of the study were sent to the <br />following offices requesting comments: <br />Public Defender <br />Judge Smith <br />Judge Vocelle <br />Judge Kilbride <br />Judge Baisiger <br />Judge Kanarek <br />Judge Geiger <br />Clerk of Court <br />State Attorney <br />Law Library <br />Bailiff's Division <br />Only three responses were received: the Public Defender's office <br />apparently approved of the study as submitted; Judge Smith did <br />not think enough square footage had been allowed for the judges; <br />and Judge Vocelle apparently had a problem with the design and <br />floor plan, but the design has not been discussed at this time. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />It is recommended that the County Commission approve Option C of <br />the Space Needs Study, deleting the Pocahontas Building <br />consideration, and refer the study to the appropriate staff and <br />committees for a recommendation on available funding sources. <br />Commissioner Wheeler introduced Keith Reeves of Architectural <br />Design Group and Lynda Chesser of Architectural Interiors Group, <br />Inc., who reviewed the procedures involved in determining the <br />space needs for the courthouse based on anticipated increased case <br />Toads until the years 2000 and 2010. <br />16 <br />N O V 8 1988 <br />L"lJl��f: <br />[y.,E114 <br />
