r � � having a committee getting into the design work, he anticipated that the architect and county staff would interview each of the Judges, the Clerk, the Sheriff, the Public Defender, the State Attorney, the bailiffs, etc., receive their input, and put all of that together so that they can -design the building to function properly and the flow is there. At that point, perhaps we could - have a group meeting to critique the design, but the Board of County Commissioners does have the final word. Commissioner Scurlock was concerned about getting away from our normal selection process, but Commissioner Eggert felt in this particular case, the Judges and the Clerk would be just additions to that selection committee. Administrator Chandler felt it may be advisable to have some judges on that committee as part of the initial selection committee. However, once an architect has been selected, presented to the Commission and approved, and we get into actual design, a lot of input will be required from many different sources. Mr. Reeves wished to thank the Judges for their cooperation and help when they were doing the space analysis study. Commissioner Scurlock was concerned about the interfacing of these groups directly with the architect because obviously we cannot design a building to please everyone. His main concern, however., is that we provide enough parking space for now and for future growth. Mr. Halback emphasized that it is less expensive to provide surface parking in the downtown area than it is to build a 2 or 3 story parking garage. He reiterated that the parki.ng they are recommending is 3.315 spaces per 1,000 square feet, or 1 space per 300 square feet... John Fraser, president of the Downtown Merchants' Association, advised that he has been very involved with the zoning codes of the downtown area during the last 10-15 years, 18 F1' f BoaI, I r+UC
