garage, would pick up the Brackett properties, and it was explained they are in Option A, not Option B. The Clerk wished to know the value of those 4 lots, and Mr. Halback believed that Mr. Schlitt's numbers put them at approxi- mately $750,000, but that depends on how many of them you buy. Mr. Schlitt advised that he since giving out those numbers, he has met with Mr. Chandler and explained that was a typo on their part. Those 4 lots actually are a total of $275,000; so where their figures show $412,000 for the acquisition of Lots 4 and 5, BLock 36, that should be half of $275,000, or about $137,000 Chairman Eggert noted that then the Brackett lots, which are Lots 4, 5, 10 and 11, Block 36, have a total value of $275,000. Mr. Halback felt there definitely is a need for surface parking, and he believed you need some surface parking next to the building. Commissioner Wheeler agreed and noted that this would service the Annex and the Library also. Mr. Schlitt advised that if you look at the access behind the Courthouse to 16th, there is a house just below that he thinks the County should look at for parking. He has been given a figure on that which he feels is a little high. Commissioner Scurlock felt if we can get a consensus that Concept G/A is the way we should go, he would like to leave staff flexibility to put that package together so that if there is a piece that makes sense, they can add it to the package. Clerk Barton pointed out that if the County bought all 4 Brackett lots, you wouldn't have to tear down the State Attor- ney's Office, and he believed that is the best building of all 3. Commissioner Scurlock had a problem with packing too much in the parking garage, and Mr. Halback again stressed that you will always have some need for surface parking, especially some parking directly adjacent to the Courthouse building. 36
