Chairman Macht added that he also had a conversation with Dr. <br />Dearing at the School Board who indicated the School Board has no <br />plans in the next 10 years to move from the current building; a <br />recent conversation with Tax Collector Zimmermann indicated that he <br />plans to move to a stand-alone building within the next year. Dr. <br />Dearing had also indicated an interest in the State Attorney's <br />building for use as an adult education building. <br />Commissioner Eggert felt that it is important to keep the <br />various departments together because so many projects require close <br />communication between the departments. She also would like to see <br />the environmental health department brought into the Administration <br />Building. <br />Commissioner Tippin questioned adding a 4th floor and Director <br />Dean explained that the original plans were drawn with the ability <br />to accommodate an additional floor in that area. <br />Chairman Macht reiterated that Tax Collector Zimmermann has <br />advised that he has plans to lease a building in the very near <br />future. He emphasized that Mr. Zimmermann should be allowed to <br />speak for himself but the impression given was that he would like <br />to lease a building and move his department in the near future. <br />Commissioner Adams questioned how much space would be <br />available if the Tax Collector's office was moved, and Director <br />Dean advised that department occupies approximately 4,000 square <br />feet. <br />Commissioner Tippin questioned the difference between the cost <br />to move the Utilities Department and the cost to move Emergency <br />Services, and Director Dean responded that there would be <br />additional renovations required to move Emergency Services, such as <br />adding a generator and meeting their requirements for staffing and <br />keeping people overnight. <br />Administrator Chandler added that part of the cost would be <br />creating an emergency operating center. <br />Director of Emergency Services Doug Wright explained that a <br />large portion of the additional funds would be designated for <br />relocating all types of communications equipment, as well as <br />satellite weather equipment.* <br />"PIM 4, 1995 53 <br />f <br />
