Under discussion, Commissioner Macht expressed concern about decentralization of County departments. Administrator Chandler agreed that there are drawbacks associated with moving a department to another location. However, this will provide a short-term solution to the space problem. Other space problems may arise during the next 5 years and we will have to deal with them. Commissioner Eggert asked whether we could use space in the old Library and Health Department buildings. Commissioner Bird suggested using the old State Attorney's office building. Administrator Chandler responded that we will try to avoid moving additional departments out of this building if possible, but those buildings could be utilized if necessary. Commissioner Bird suggested leasing out the old State Attorney's office in the meantime so that we can derive some revenue from it. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
