Boa 95 MAW - 3. For the benefit of those who are not wheelchair bound, but who walk with the aid of a cane of walker we need some mobile units for the courthouse (similar to those used in large department stores) and wheelchairs. 4. We are having sound- problems in the courtrooms, particularly in courtroom 4. It is my understanding from speaking with Bruce Boyd who provided the electronic expertise relative to this type of this equipment, the amplifiers are not large enough to provide adequate sound in the courtrooms. This should be rectified as soon as possible. 5. Courtrooms 6 and 7 do not have the necessary equipment for recording. It is impossible to conduct criminal or juvenile matters in these courtrooms due to this problem. This should be corrected immediately. 6. Signs are needed throughout the courthouse to mark the way to the Public Defenders and State Attorney's offices, especially at the elevators so people will know exactly where to go. 7. 1 will be available to appear before you to answer any questions -upon notice of a time commensurate with our schedules. The Board reviewed Memoranda of May 25, 1995 and 31 May 1995 and 4 January 1995: DATE= MAY 25, 1995 TO: KENNETH R. MACHT, CHAIRMAN BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FROM: H.T.

On May 16, 1995, Judge Vocelle telephoned and advised this writer of his memorandum to you requesting immediate action on five items of concern. I discussed with him each area and what action had already been initiated to correct the various items. In repetition of this discussion and to advise you of the action taken the following is offered: 1. Vehicle break-ins within the parking garage - This is my first notification of such a problem. However, video in the parking - garage was discussed by our Committee late in the construction phase of the project. The cost range is fifty to sixty thousand dollars for equipment and installation. It will also require someone for monitoring purposes. It is my recollection that the Committee felt video was not economically feasible. 2. Crosswalk in front of building - This was in the original design of the facility. However, according to our architect, the City Engineering Department would not allow a cross -walk in the 16 June 20, 1995 r
