HOOK 100 DUE dt� <br />If further information or clarification is needed, please contact me. <br />cc: Board of County Commissioners <br />Mr. Nolte noted that Mr. Zimmermann had been in business with the architect, Bill <br />Bryant, and felt that the Board should be aware of that. He believed that Mr. Zimmermann <br />would initiate new charges on license plates to pay for this move and quoted from Mr. Spock <br />that "the needs of many outweigh the needs of the few or the one". <br />Tax Collector Zimmermann responded that the Tax Collector has the option to charge <br />a branch fee of 75¢ which he believed was being done in every county in the state. He <br />continued that he had not made a decision at this time to implement that fee. <br />Commissioner Adams asked Mr. Zimmermann to comment on the selection of the <br />builder, and Mr. Zimmermann. responded that he had not been involved in the bid process. <br />The architect handled all of the contractor interviews and the bid process. <br />Commissioner Ginn noted that Mr. Zimmermann had previously appeared before the <br />Board and told them he had already agreed to the rental terms but had not asked the Board <br />for permission to move his offices. <br />Mr. Zimmermann responded that he had already negotiated the terms at that time but <br />had not signed a lease prior to asking the Board's permission which he has done in private <br />conversations with the Commissioners and in presentations before the Board. <br />Commissioner Ginn also noted that, in conversations with Mr. Zimmermann, he had <br />stated that he did not have enough space in the current Administration Building, yet had <br />twice stated publicly that the move was not about space, but about efficiency. She felt that <br />County Attorney Vitunac had made it clear that no constitutional officer can move out of the <br />county seat without the Board's approval, yet Mr. Zimmermann had made plans to move out <br />with no specific request to the Board. She believed that a "no" vote at this point would <br />inconvenience the public; however, she felt that Mr. Zimmermann needs to be wherever the <br />Board is and her vote would be that he- must move back when final plans are made for <br />additional space for county offices. <br />SEPTEMBER 1, 1998 <br />
