Lanfear questioned if there was a veteran's committee that would be in contact with Don Shuda, <br /> regarding issues like the drinking fountain issue and the flag issue. Discussion was held and <br /> there is a committee but there are also other outside members and the board approves those <br /> appointments. Mr. Schuppan is the board member that is on the committee. This could be <br /> considered. <br /> Quandt requested that the executive session be placed at the end of the meetings. <br /> NEW OR UNFINISHED BUSINESS— Quandt noted that there have been articles in the Grand <br /> Island Independent about budgets and law enforcement and the jail being cuts. Now there are <br /> rumors about a $5.5 million new road department building and he questioned if there is a set of <br /> plans and he has not seen them. <br /> Arnold expressed concern that this comes up during an election year and they talk about tax <br /> cuts you have to talk about but he the does not want to cut people. <br /> Mr. Quandt distributed a letter to all of the board members requesting information under section <br /> 84-712 Nebraska Public Records Law regarding any plans for a public works building. He read <br /> the letter requesting a response in 4 days and to let him know when he can receive the <br /> information and if it is denied or refused then inform him of the appeal process under the law. <br /> Arnold and Schuppan stated no plans they only saw a vendors ideas. Schuppan this is part of <br /> the design build process. <br /> Bredthauer expressed concern that she did see some plans. <br /> Quandt stated he wants the same information as the committee under the freedom of <br /> information act. <br /> Richardson stated she is tired of hearing that the board does not get along but she stated Mr. <br /> Quandt is a pot stirrer and he moves from one subject to another she ask him to be more <br /> cooperative. <br /> Lanfear stated that Casey went to Chief for a rough idea of the cost it was only a rough sketch <br /> and based a rough estimate Chief took them back they looked into financing of it with DA <br /> Davidson it is in the past it was only for ideas no plans and no information from Davidson. <br /> Bottom line Arnold said Casey Sherlock started this and they need a building the 5 million is not <br /> accurate and best building most recently has been 3 million. We have the best metal building <br /> manufactures here in town you talk to them to get ideas they have done this before and have <br /> plans from other buildings. This will be a bid situation and you want to protect the information it <br /> was not given to county just ideas for consideration. It is just a sales call from a provider that <br /> showed plans on what could be done nothing owned or retained by anyone. Your freedom of <br /> information it is asking for something that does not exist. <br /> 7 <br />
