April 5, 1979 - DAILY MINUTES
Chairman Shepard opened the meeting at 10:00 a.m. with all Commissioners present.
First item on the agenda was Doug Maul and Virgil Miller for a decision on whether
or not to proceed with rennovation of the old courthouse. Doug explained that he
had been to a meeting before to get approval from the Commissioners for the remodeling
of the old courthouse. The architect has been working and is ready to go to printing
so they need a decision. He came up with a figure of $31.35 per sq. ft. for the
remodeling. The total figure came up to $700,000, of which $350,000 had previously
been set aside for this. By remodeling, Doug said they can pick up an additional
7,000 sq. ft. working space in the old courthouse. Doug said that they felt this
was an efficient way to use the space we have. Commissioner Shepard asked why we
couldn't take this $700,000 and build a new building and have more working space
than we will get by remodeling. Doug and Virgil both said that we may not be able
to build at all as there is not enough room for parking spaces that would be required
and we do not know if we can punccase more property. Commissioner Young said that
the County had been trying to purchase more property in this area for 5 years and
had not been able to. Commissioner Paulson asked if the heating and electrical systems
were going to be changed also and Doug said they would be. Commissioner Young had
mentioned the fact that tests had been run on the heating system and it was running
with 87% efficiency; however, there is no air conditioning in the building. Virgil
explained that to put in air conditioning system with the present would be almost
impossible. There is only one part of the building that has new electrical wiring,
and that would have to be done to bring the building up to standards. Also at the
meeting were Helen Rastovich, Louis Selken, Oscar Bratton, and Rosemary Patterson,
all department heads from the old courthouse were in attendance and all agreed that
they would like the approval of the Board of Commissioners for the remodeling.
Louis Selken said that he felt this was needed now, and to build a new building
would take a longer time than the remodeling. He said it was convenient for them
to be close to the Justice Building also, since there is much foot traffic between
the two buildings now. Rosemary Patterson said that she does not have a private
office and there are many times she needs privacy with phone calls and people coming
in to the office. Commissioner Shepard said that he would favor a new building
with this $7009000, and Virgil said that it would cost around $1,000,000.00 to build
a new building. Discussion went on and Commissioner Paulson said that probably the
best thing to do would be to remodel. Commissioner Paulson made a motion to proceed
with the plans as previously submitted to the Commissioners and pay for it out of
Revenue Sharing, assuming that it gets approved with the Revenue Sharing hearings.
Commissioner Young seconded it. Commissioner Paulson voted aye, Commissioner Young
voted aye, and Chairman Shepard ABSTAINED. Motion was carried.
Next on the agenda was Hiltje Hubbard, General Health, with a request to have a
hypertension clinic such as was held last year for the County employees. She
said a date had not been selected yet because she wanted the approval of the
Commissioners first. The Commissioners agreed that this was a very good idea, and
she said there might be a problem as to space since Room B has been turned in to
the Cashier's cage. The Commissioners suggested she look at Circuit Ct. and District
Ct. to see if they could use those rooms. It was though that perhaps the District
Court rooms would work better since they are on the ground floor. Hiltje said she
would look into getting this program set up and let us know what date.
