Chairman Eggert felt that if we are talking about an <br />exhibition hall, this might work, but if we are talking about a <br />true museum, this building would not make it because the dampness <br />alone prevents that. <br />Commissioner Bird asked if anyone knew whether the exterior <br />walls of the original building were still intact, and Mr. Reeves <br />assured him they were. <br />Mrs. Bunnell urged the Board to save the original structure , <br />for as long as possible, and while Chairman Eggert didn't have a <br />problem with that, she did point out that we would have to look <br />for more parking land. <br />Mrs. Bunnell felt it would be a shame to have parking spaces <br />dictate whether we are going to keep the building or not. <br />Administrator Chandler advised that we already need to have <br />some serious discussions with the City regarding the differential <br />in the required parking spaces. He felt we have to realize when <br />we make these kind of decisions that it is going to translate <br />into dollars since the driving force here is parking space. <br />Commissioner Wheeler suggested that we hold another meeting <br />like this before making a decision in order to give people a <br />couple of weeks to look at this in depth, but Commissioner <br />Scurlock felt he was ready to make a Motion. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously selected <br />Concept "A", with the exception that the existing <br />courthouse will have its wings torn down, but otherwise <br />left exactly as it is, which gives the County the <br />option to get on with the architectural selection, but <br />allows us to continue to analyze whether or not we want <br />to tear down the entire structure, part of it, or <br />retain it for some other use. <br />1_1J 1 r�� r I 11990 $ <br />26 <br />FNGE <br />@ A N <br />L <br />
