As a result of that lengthy meeting, their attorney, Michael O'Haire, will develop an item to present to the IRFWCD Board at their meeting in about two weeks which should relieve the problem we have in relation to utilizing their right of way. OLD COUNTY COURTHOUSE The Board reviewed memo from General Services Director Sonny Dean dated March 29, 1994: Date: March 29, 1994 To: ✓ Ken Macht, . County Commissioner James E. Chandler County Administrator From: H.T. "Sonny" Dean, Director Department of General Services Subj: Old County Courthouse On Monday, March 28, 1994, I spoke with Debora Hargrove, GSA for the federal government located in Atlanta. This conversation was in reference to moving the federal courthouse presently located in Ft. Pierce, to our old courthouse in Vero Beach. Debora advised a determination had been made that the present facilities in Ft. Pierce were not large enough to accommodate their needs. However, by federal statue the courthouse for this district must be located within the corporate limits of Ft. Pierce. The only way to change this was by an act of congress. Commissioner Macht further advised that we would have a very difficult time effecting this very desirable objective. He suggested that if the Board so desires, he would contact the federal district and ask what their preference would be, and if they have strong feelings that they would like to move, we could pursue it: The Board members agreed that- Commissioner Macht should contact the Federal Judicial District to see if they are interested in moving the federal courthouse. 32
