13.C.3. COMMISSIONER GE1N - COUNTY ADMINISTRATION <br />BUILDING ADVISORY COMMITTEE <br />Commissioner Ginn recounted that it had been suggested that a County <br />Administration Building Advisory Committee be formed and she believed there was <br />consensus to postpone addressing the matter until after budget time, which is now. She was <br />bringing the topic back to find out the thinking of the other members of the Board. <br />Chairman Macht wished to postpone the matter further. He recently had a <br />conversation with the School Superintendent and learned that the School Board will relocate <br />their offices in less than 5 years. He was of the opinion that we should refurbish the current <br />Administration Building and use the additional space when the School Board vacates the <br />building next door. He believed it was a long time before the need to convene an advisory <br />committee. He suggested they wait until there is something in writing from the School <br />Board. <br />Commissioner Ginn agreed and understood the earliest the School Board would leave <br />was in 2004 when their lease expires. She appreciated the additional information. <br />Commissioner Tippin thought the idea of an advisory committee was to get people <br />in the community together to consider the options. The problem has not gone away; it is still <br />a matter of public interest. <br />Commissioner Ginn believed the idea was to evaluate the needs. <br />Commissioner Adams was in no hurry to evaluate other sites and this concern was not <br />high on her priority list. She felt it was important to get the numbers from staff as to costs <br />and square footage required. A committee could review those figures the first of the year. <br />She suggested that in the meantime, each Commissioner should think about the membership <br />of the committee so that it would be manageable. <br />October 19, 1999 <br />BOOK WPAGE 105 <br />
