9}'~-3t;1~ Joel Dalton reported of two major problems, one is the request of ~ Alic Mahood concerning a court room. He recommended to move Family Violence Coalition temporarily into the Administration Building. That would free up the offices on the lower floor of the courthouse that ~ can be made into a court room. The most overcrowded office building is the County Attorneys building.
