Mr. Piccolo expressed concern about the county boards' creditability they have been told they <br /> are going to move 2 times and then it was changed. <br /> Mr. Humphrey was directed to find space and he contacted Jerry Huiseman about the building <br /> and the board agreed to purchase it. <br /> The public defender and juvenile diversion have 3,628 sq. feet for both offices. There is 6,200 <br /> sq. feet available space in the in the building. He showed pictures of the proposed floor plans <br /> and the work would all be contracted so it would be a total of about $80,000.00. He stated that <br /> probation would need to remove a short wall and add a movable wall. There would need to be <br /> a secure wall for the drug testing area. He reviewed the total costs. <br /> There are 3 offices that have different needs so the renovations will be different. <br /> Arnold questioned if the tenants may move out earlier and Mr. Humphrey stated he has not <br /> received any notice about that. <br /> 17. POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING PLAZA BUILDING OCCUPANCY <br /> Quandt made a motion and Lancaster seconded to give the space in the Plaza Building back to <br /> the public defender. <br /> Lancaster stated that the needs will be different and the changes were as per their request. <br /> There was paint and the carpet would eventually have to be replaced. The probation office is a <br /> state requirement and it was discussed that the new furnishing would go to the public defender <br /> and juvenile diversion. <br /> Lanfear noted that the board's credibility is a factor but it is common sense that the Plaza <br /> Building would be better for probation. The $73,000.00 could be lost if not used. <br /> Mr. Humphrey noted that the ADA improvements have to be made and nothing has been <br /> started for either department. He stated he does have the quote for the moveable wall. <br /> Arnold question if there could be an extension for the funds. Mr. See stated that there is one <br /> shot for spending the funds. <br /> The vote on the motion to give the Plaza Building to the public defender was held. Lancaster, <br /> Quandt and Richardson voted yes and Arnold, Lanfear, Purdy and Schuppan voted no. Motion <br /> failed. <br /> 22. DISCUSS AND APPROVE COMMITTEE MEETINGS IN PUBLIC SESSION — <br /> Quandt— Richardson asked if this was done before and was on the regular agenda because of <br /> the Courthouse project. <br /> Lanfear expressed concern about making the committee meetings public meetings and <br /> questioned if this is micro managing. <br /> Arnold stated that the chair of the committee calls the meeting and the committee could take a <br /> vote if they wanted to allow the press to attend. There wasn't a formal motion to have facilities <br /> committee on the agenda it was just an agenda item. <br /> Richardson state that she has been on boards and committees and they bring <br /> 8 <br />
