BOOK 93 PKU E 257 Clerk Jeffrey Barton confirmed that he had been given permission to purchase furnishings from the RTC which saved the County a great deal of money. He also stated that it was his understanding that the decorator had examined the furnishings and would delete the carpeting as it did not match the furnishings. The decorator did delete the furnishings but did not follow the specs in the building as a number of things were not deleted which should have been. Mr. Barton also advised that the area under discussion is a future walkway to Courtroom 9 and has a terrazzo floor. Several office areas also have terrazzo and some have concrete which will eventually be covered with carpeting. The borders around the area rugs will be painted to match the terrazzo flooring. Commissioner Macht noted that different floorings presents a problem for the maintenance crews, but Mr. Barton stressed that the furnishings were purchased with these things in mind. Commissioner Eggert reiterated that permission has already been given to allow the deletion of the carpeting. Chairman Tippin then remarked that he was not going to second guess past decisions of the Board. Commissioner Adams remarked that she did not think the furniture was in question, and Mr. Barton explained that the furniture that was purchased does not go with the carpeting and that the carpeting should never have been purchased for use in that area. Director Dean advised that most of the furniture in the front of the new building is new while some of the furniture for use in the back part of the building is used. ON Motion by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board, by a 4-1 vote (Commissioner Macht dissenting), approved Change Order #14 as recommended by staff.
