Commissioner Scurlock believed that might be an argument for the County to go to a parking garage in our plan. Mr. Mosby further stressed that the more stormwater you create, the more you pollute the shallow aquifer. Commissioner Scurlock asked Mr. Halback if they had addressed this question, and Mr. Halback confirmed that they did take all these things into consideration. Utility costs, storm - water in particular, were factored into the costs of the building and the square footage price, but they did not get into the specific cost details that Mr. Flick has. Commissioner Scurlock noted that we are really comparing a pretty picture that Mr. Flick has presented to no picture because we haven't gotten to that stage. Commissioner Wheeler felt what we must keep in mind is that in this master plan, we looked at the inventory of what is currently existing, what it can handle as to traffic parking, what our space needs requirements are, and then we looked at the properties we want to use to set that building on and tried to come up with a cost analysis. He stressed that at this point, we have not even considered a design of the building - we are just figuring out how many square feet we need, how many parking spaces, etc. What has been presented by Mr. Flick is a step ahead of what we are doing. Chairman Eggert brought up the point that Mr. Flick's plan includes the west I of Block 46, which is currently the parking behind the bank, and Mr. Flick agreed that the east side of the pond he shows in his model is a substantial portion of the now existing public parking lot and one wing of the judicial center is resting on the north end of that parking lot, but he owns most of that parking lot, which he leases.to the City. He also - agreed that what they are presenting is much further ahead than what Mr. Halback is presenting, and, therefore, the sooner this can be done, the sooner the judicial system can be served.
