She asked <br />Deputy County Attorney William G. Collins Il whether she should vote on this matter. <br />Attorney Collins advised that if the agreement would enure to her personal financial <br />gain, she should not vote.

VICE CHAIRMAN MACHT - COMMENT REGARDING A <br />LOCAL ARCHITECT'S OPINION ON COSTS OF CONVERTING <br />VERO MALL FOR A COUNTY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING <br />Vice Chairman Macht advised that a local architect, with a good track record, had <br />contacted him recently regarding the Spillis, Candela and Partners report on the use of the <br />Vero Mall for a County Administration Building. The architect was of the opinion that the <br />estimates were too high, that he could reduce the consultant's figures from $101 per square <br />foot to $75 per square foot. The architect asked if the Board would take into consideration <br />some information that he would submit in a relatively short time. Vice Chairman Macht had <br />informed the architect that there was nothing to prevent him from doing so and felt that it <br />would be worthwhile to listen to what he had to say. <br />August 25, 1998 <br />57 <br />UGK 10 6 PAGE�f2 <br />
