Lancaster stated it is not fair to discuss his space needs without the public defender being <br /> present. She stated that she talked to Judge Livingston and adult probation could wind up with <br /> more people with some of the proposed legislation. The county should be reimbursed for the <br /> renovation of space, but there needs to be along range plan. She expressed concern on how <br /> the funds can be used and questioned if the funds have to be used just for the probation office. <br /> She stated she would also like t90 included Mr. Piccolo in the conversation. This was discussed <br /> in the committee meeting and it may have to be a two step process. <br /> Discussion was held on how the dollars could be spent. This needs to be clarified. <br /> Mr. Schuppan stated that the old VSO office has a secured entrance there may be some <br /> concern on the afterhours issue but if this is temporary he could adjust who is moved over to <br /> this building. <br /> Mr. Quandt stated he is not in favor of renting any buildings and questioned if Mr Schutz told the <br /> board when the space would be needed and Mr. McFarland stated that he did inform the county <br /> board. <br /> Lancaster made a motion to remodel the old VSO office with carpeting and paint as temporary <br /> office space for the probation office. Discussion was held and this was not on the agenda to <br /> take any action. Lancaster withdrew her motion. <br /> Mr. Arnold questioned if there needed to be action if there are funds to do this could the <br /> committee could take care of it. <br /> Mr. Quandt stated he thinks the whole board needs to vote on this and it should be put on the <br /> agenda in two weeks. Lancaster agreed to address this issue in 2 weeks. <br /> Held a break 5 minute break. <br /> Chairman McFarland called the meeting back to order. <br /> 10. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO MODIFY HALL COUNTY BOARD OF <br /> SUPERVISOR COMMITTEE MEETINGS - Quandt brought this forward for more discussion. <br /> Quandt made a motion to roll the committees over to the full county board and meet on <br /> Tuesday's after the regular meeting. They would meet as a committee of all board members so <br /> all seven members would know what is going on. This would be open and honest government. <br /> Mr Schuppan this isn't open and honest it is micro managing by the county board. This sounds <br /> ridiculous to micro manage all the departments. <br /> Mr. Arnold stated that Gary is not proposing anything more than what we have now except to <br /> have separate meeting it would be a work study session and it would be micro managing. If the <br /> department heads have to come to the full board they will clam up and there won't be any <br /> discussion. There needs to be a setting where they are not in the public and the committee can <br /> get open and honest views of issues. The committee always has the option to put issues on the <br /> board's agenda. <br /> Quandt stated he disagrees. It would be a work study session but all of the board would know <br /> what is going on. Not everything gets back to the full board. He attends other meetings and <br /> 8 <br />
