the constitutional officers out of the Administration Building and <br />informed them of new computer equipment and systems in the works <br />for the last year and a half for his office, which must be <br />operational by August.

He advised that he <br />had spoken with Chairman Macht about the old County Health <br />.Building. <br />Commissioners expressed concern about the old County Health <br />Building regarding its size, layout, zoning, and limited parking. <br />They felt that Mr. Zimmermann ought to visit the building before <br />giving any more thought to moving into that particular building. <br />Administrator Chandler added that it needed roof work and there <br />would be other rehabilitation costs as well. <br />Mr. Zimmermann advised that he was volunteering to move, but, <br />in doing so, he wanted to improve the working environment and <br />establish offices which would be satisfactory for 10 or 12 years. <br />He went on to state his major concerns regarding a move: 1) the <br />time factor relative to the new computer system; 2) upgrade/update <br />of the facility to forestall any disruption in a few years; 3) need <br />for more space, particularly lobby; 4) drive -up capability to <br />improve service; 5) general condition of the building; and 6) a <br />conference room for use as a training facility. <br />Commissioner Bird did not believe moving to that building was <br />possible or feasible for a variety of reasons. He had understood <br />that Administrator Chandler was going to report back to the Board <br />after speaking with Indian River County School Superintendent Roger <br />Dearing about their future plans for expansion. He also expected <br />estimated costs for expanding the Administration Building would be <br />presented at that time. <br />Administrator Chandler advised that staff was planning to <br />present the Board a full report on this matter in about two weeks <br />with all the new information they had learned. He advised he was <br />unaware of Mr. Zimmermann's new system and time constraints and <br />that General Services Director Sonny Dean was on vacation. <br />Mr. Zimmermann advised of his conversations with Director Dean <br />and the computer contractor and why time had become a critical <br />factor. <br />NO ACTION TAKEN. <br />17 <br />January 31, 1995 BOOK 94 PAGE 215 <br />
