A lengthy discussion regarding the Burleigh house and other County -owned
properties, to determine where to locate the various departments and their
services. This certainly applies to the Health Department, which is very lacking in
enough space.
Per Mr. Maier, there is a rumor that a large cache of thunder egg rocks (agate) are
found underneath this building, and it is worth $100 a slice of rock. The rocks
were found at the site of the old Willowdale store that burned down. The owner
had been offered $160,000 for his collection. If so, there is value in this property.
They would keep the house and add a parking lot after excavating for the agate.
They will do a minimum amount of work ($7,000) to the building to make it
available to the nursing staff.
Also, there is a major roofing problem with the Justice Building. Three
courtrooms have been leaking regularly, even through the light sockets. The
building is 12 years old now. There is also a lighting problem. They talked about
dropping the ceiling about two feet, and at the same time put in drains for the
roof. They would add fluorescent lighting. This will cost about $18,000.
The judges don't like that idea because they want to keep the wooden ceilings, so
their preference is for a built-up roof over their courtrooms. They were okay with
doing one courtroom at a time. This would cost $47,000. The roofers feel the
roof is going to go sooner than that. A pitched roof would make the judges
happy. It would cost about $18,000 per courtroom, and it is not yet budgeted.
However, it is necessary to do something. They may have to go out to bid for this
amount.
The Board was open to doing this over three years.
The group spoke at length about the potential Redmond library site and whether
to purchase a property to hold for them, in the event a bond issue passes.
Otherwise it would be sold within three years.
