County Clerk J. K. Barton advised that another storage matter <br />came up yesterday - storage of reel-to-reel tapes and video tapes. <br />There is another filing system, and they delivered 24 file cabinets <br />to use in the interim. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Adams, to approve the additional <br />shelving needed in the new Courthouse at a cost of <br />$21,246, as recommended by J. K. Barton, Clerk of <br />the Circuit Court. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Bird asked if Mr. Barton <br />considered this an oversight, and Mr. Barton responded <br />affirmatively. <br />Chairman Macht emphasized that we will have a very earnest <br />discussion with the architect once this is all done. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The motion <br />carried unanimously. <br />SECURITY AT NEW COURTHOUSE <br />Chairman Macht emphasized that the committee mentioned in <br />today's issue of the Press Journal is not the Courthouse Committee <br />that he chairs. He stated that he was totally unaware of an <br />internal committee that has the authority, especially when it comes <br />out of taxpayers' money, to make security changes. Apparently, <br />this internal committee has decided to relax security restrictions <br />by making available computer -coded cards to the back door to more <br />than 200 courthouse employees and lawyers for a sum of $.10. <br />County Clerk Jeff Barton advised that the committee mentioned <br />in the newspaper met just 1-1/2 weeks prior to the opening of the <br />building and everyone was very strong on having maximum security. <br />This committee is composed of the occupants of the building, and it <br />was agreed that everyone, with no exceptions, would have to enter <br />through the front door. That is the way the Courthouse opened. <br />The committee decided just after the January 3rd opening of the <br />Courthouse to consider the security changes prompted by people <br />tired and bothered by going through the courthouse security <br />checkpoint. <br />Chairman Macht pointed out that the taxpayers are being <br />charged a zillion dollars for security that isn't being used.
