Boa 94 PAGE 802 <br />Chairman Macht felt that it would not make sense to move <br />Emergency Services as that would add an element of risk. <br />Director Dean also noted that Mr. Wright had indicated he <br />would like to move Medical 1 to Fire Station 1, bring all the <br />administrative staff in with him, and dispose of the property at <br />Medical 1. <br />Chairman Macht felt it would be in the best interest of the <br />County to consider Alternative III. Whatever the Board decides, <br />there should be at least a 15 -year life to the plan; otherwise it <br />would not be in the best interest of the taxpayers. If the School <br />Board should move in 5 to 10 years, additional expansion room would <br />be available at practically no cost. If they don't move, an <br />expansion on the east side of that building also would be very <br />economical. <br />Commissioner Bird stressed that the Board should look at <br />parking needs whatever the alternative chosen. He felt that a real <br />disservice is being done to the public that has to use this <br />building with available parking being as removed as it is, <br />especially Tax Collector Zimmermann's office. <br />Administrator Chandler explained that parking needs have been <br />considered and if the Utilities Department took over the first <br />floor area of the administration building, consideration has been <br />given to the circular drive-through and perhaps short term parking <br />of 5 to 10 minutes. He again cautioned the Board that verification <br />is needed for the estimates supplied by staff. <br />Commissioner Bird cautioned about adequate parking for the old <br />courthouse and annex. At this point, both buildings are sharing <br />one parking lot. <br />Chairman Macht noted there are 2 or 3 available lots across <br />the street from those buildings which could be utilized for <br />parking. He stressed that the old courthouse annex building is a <br />very substantial building. <br />Administrator Chandler commented that both the State <br />Attorney's building and the old courthouse annex building are very <br />good, marketable buildings, but he was under the impression that <br />real estate will not do much in the next several years. <br />APRIL 49 1995 54 <br />
