_I <br />JUN 13 1990 <br />BOOR 80 <br />when the Board voted for the concept of everything under one <br />roof, it was with the concept that the whole system should be <br />there. <br />Mr. Donatio continued to talk about matching funds, possible <br />uses, grants, etc., and believed he is hearing then that the <br />County is willing to put up the money needed to secure more <br />property for parking. <br />Chairman Eggert noted that has not been voted on yet, and <br />Commissioner Scurlock clarified that he had been expressing just <br />his personal view. He would very much like to work toward <br />keeping the old building, and we will have to provide the parking <br />when we make the decision to save it, but how that money would be <br />generated is something that will require more dialogue. <br />Mr. Donatio, in closing, stressed that the building is a <br />good shell and could be useful. He advised that his firm is <br />redoing the YMCA for the City and also is doing the Florida <br />Theatre for private owners. Reusing a shell tends to be a little <br />more economical, and he further stressed that the bad reputation <br />of the building would be gone because it would be gutted and <br />renovated. They would very much like to see the Old Courthouse <br />saved and listed on the National Register at some time. <br />The Board recessed briefly at 8:30 P.M. <br />14 <br />o r <br />
