he understands why the carriers could be moved. He suggested remodeling a building down town for the post office box section and the retail window. The lease is up in one year and they have to make a decision. They need a substation down town. Lanfear made a motion and Quandt of t Q dt seconded to send a letter o opposition to move the post office. Lancaster suggested a cover letter. Arnold noted that some businesses have located downtown to be close to the retail side of the post office. He noted that his wife has to pick up certified mail for her job.

She expressed concern on the time of 9:00 a.m. and the fact that she has a job and has to be at work. She also expressed concern that another supervisor could not attend. As Chairman of the County Board Ms. Lancaster can attend any meeting. She stated she is being discriminated against because she has a job. Schuppan stated this is an issue that the committee could work out among themselves. Arnold noted that the board has worked with him on schedules he worked nights and had certain days off. The county offices open at 8:30 a.m. Quandt stated the committee needs to work together to accommodate her schedule. Richardson stated that at the first meeting the time was discussed and at the next meeting Doug thought it was scheduled for a later time but he did come. She tried to set a time when the majority of the member could attend. She considered having Mr. Quandt come because of his construction background and he is vocal about facilities but it did not work with a modified committee. Most of the committees are flexible. Jane is the chair of the committee and can set the time and they need to try and work it out. Lancaster stated that there was an issue at Midland Area on Aging there are a total of 12 votes. Hall County has 3 votes and Adams County has 2 votes and the other counties have 1 vote. Adams County suggested that a quorum should be only 5 votes because sometimes there is an issue with attendance. Her concern is that we do not want to lose our representation and we need to protect Hall County's interest. In the past we have always had an alternate to MAAA but when the committees were set up she did not assign one. It would be in our best interest to have an alternate to MAAA. Bredthauer requested that at the next Building & Grounds committee meeting to set up a time. COMMITTEE AND BOARD MEMBER'S REPORTS - Chairman Lancaster called for board members reports. 9
