FACILITIES—COURTHOUSE RESTROOM SURVEY—Mr. Humphrey distributed information <br /> regarding the restrooms survey. The total number of water closets was reduced to 19. There <br /> are 37 employees and about 600 people walk through the scanner daily. The number of water <br /> closets does meet the code book, the rated capacity for the Courthouse is 300 people and it is <br /> required to have 1 water closet for every 125 to 150 people. They used a formula to determine <br /> how many restrooms were needed and they comply. <br /> Quandt noted that at some time there could be 250 jurors that are present and when court is let <br /> out they may have to wait to use the restrooms. Mr. Humphrey stated that some have been <br /> changed because of ADA and this may have cut down the number or water closets. Quandt <br /> questioned if the space was used efficiently. <br /> Schuppan stated that when they agreed to do the restrooms there was discussion that they <br /> would lose some but this was agreed on with the original plans. <br /> Lancaster stated they did discuss ADA issues but there is some concern now if the space was <br /> used adequately. ADA does take up more space and there is a family restroom. There may be <br /> times when it is congested but she thinks they have done the best they can do. <br /> Lanfear stated there are concerns but they have to comply with ADA. <br /> Mr. Humphrey stated he has talked to the Judges and had discussion regarding the schedules. <br /> They did allow time during the construction because they were short restrooms. They are <br /> flexible and try to accommodate the public. The Courthouse is becoming too small for this <br /> county and in the near future they are going to have to address this issue. <br /> Lancaster stated that it was vital that there was heat and air and restrooms they had to do <br /> something. She hopes that they will continue to use the Courthouse as a working Courthouse. <br /> Purdy stated that this is buying some time. <br /> Lanfear stated that the Federal building is ADA assessable. He will have some items for the <br /> next agenda and they are working on a sign for the Federal Building. <br /> Stacey thanked for them for the paint and carpet. Loran stated that the door was also fixed. <br /> Mr. Zitterkopf wanted to address the Federal Building and he stated he did call Marvin Webb <br /> and they are trying to get plans for this building otherwise you would have to hire an engineer. <br /> They do have a set but it is not the right set because he would like an auto cad file. Mr. <br /> Humphrey stated that they did receive several files and noted that some work was done in 2006 <br /> and 2010 but they do not have an as built plan. <br /> Lancaster stated that she did try to call Jerry Berggren's office but he was out and not due back <br /> until today. She stated that she will not be able to attend the NACO meeting and he is often <br /> there. <br /> 9.
