I <br />SEP 51989 BOOK 77 Fr{.,,C 82.0 <br />we know we will have to tear down the existing courthouse and <br />also will be putting pressure on the Baptist Church to relocate <br />their facility. <br />s Administrator Chandler did not think we can assume there <br />will be a recommendation coming back to tear down the existing <br />courthouse. We have asked the consultant to consider at least <br />three options, and one of the things they will be looking at is <br />retaining some portion of the courthouse. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the area they are to look at, <br />and Administrator Chandler advised that it is a 6 block area from <br />21st Street to 23rd Street and from 14th Avenue to 17th Avenue. <br />It doesn't go to SR 60. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked why it doesn't go as far south <br />as Route 60 and further west. He noted that there are various <br />vacant buildings in the vicinity of SR 60, and he wanted us to <br />remain flexible. <br />Commissioner Bird agreed that we do not want to be totally <br />locked in. <br />Administrator Chandler noted that parking will be a critical <br />issue in the proposed 6 block area, and there has been some <br />discussion that the area just to the south might be a possibility <br />for additional parking. <br />Commissioner Eggert asked if there would be any problem with <br />changing 21st Street to Route 60, and the Administrator stated <br />that he would have no problem with it. <br />Commissioner Eggert suggested that we change the second <br />paragraph under the description of the project to read Route 60 <br />to the south. <br />Commissioner Bowman believed the City has now included money <br />in their coming budget for a master plan, and possibly the County <br />and City should go together to hire a professional. <br />Chairman Wheeler confirmed that is the direction we are <br />moving in. <br />30 <br />_ M <br />
