• • <br />new building, including meeting rooms, conference rooms, data processing and storage <br />facilities. Fiber optics cable should be used. Additional outlets should be installed for <br />future changes as necessary. Portable partitions should include service outlets. Changes <br />will come, but the building must be adaptable.

He highly recommended that planning for the new building include the hiring <br />of a high-tech building consultant to work with the architect and project manager from the <br />beginning of the project who can establish high standards for technological work and <br />identify and help obtain the equipment needed and help prepare for future developments and <br />save money in such installations.

He presented <br />slides from the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council showing public art. (See tab 13 <br />for some of the photos shown by Mr. Barcley.) He believed classical elements of <br />architecture belong in civic buildings so that they will stand out and sites should be reserved <br />for public art. He recounted that as late as the 1950's civic structures were still the best <br />buildings in town and there is no reason why they should not be still in order to adequately <br />represent the community. He referred to photos, called for a 3 -story limit, specified the new <br />building should be attractive and convenient for both employees and people in the <br />community who need to visit the building. He displayed a projected view of how the <br />extension of 20th Avenue to Aviation Boulevard would be configured. He hoped the new <br />building would bring both value and beauty to this part of Vero Beach. <br />Commissioner Ginn advised the credentials of Gene Winne who was the financial <br />expert/resource to the committee.
