Joe Tillman, president of the Farm Bureau, who will be presenting the plans for the proposed building. Commissioner Scurlock asked why we don't look at this in the budget for the next fiscal year, and Administrator Chandler explained that when they first looked at this 6 months or so ago, they weren't sure that they would have it ready by then, but they are trying to get this ready for next year's fair. Mr. Tillman presented an artist's rendering of the proposed building, and explained that the photographs surrounding the rendering are of an identical agricultural building in Wachula, Florida. The building is designated to start out at 175 feet in length, and it will be constructed in such a fashion that we can add to the length of the building in the future to accommodate rodeos, etc. The dirt floor arena is 110 feet wide with 37 -ft. wide wings on both sides of the bleacher areas. The site plan drawn up by Carter & Associates has been presented to staff and everyone seems to approve of it. They have the money and they are ready to proceed to build the building, but need the Board to approve the County's assistance expenditures listed on the second page of the above memo. They do intend to give the building to the County, but there would be times when the agricultural community would want to use the building for horse shows and various other agriculturally related events. They have a copy of the license agreement and they will turn it over to their attorney for his review. Administrator Chandler noted that at this point in time they are just asking for conceptual approval from the Commission so that we can go ahead and move it through Planning S Zoning. The license agreement will come back to the Commission for formal approval. Commissioner Bird felt that the actual approval of Item 4 under Alternative #1 could be delayed until we get the licence agreement in place. {gyp (/��R py {..;.q l.'VU14 i Pica 1 � 45 APR 3 1990
