There was a letter that the board received and DHHS gave the County 2 <br /> days to respond. Mr. Lanfear sent a reply that it would not be addressed until this board <br /> meeting. <br /> Richardson stated that DHHS referred to old reports from 1996, 2002 and 2006. There needs <br /> to be a new assessment with an independent professional consultant. DHHS mentioned <br /> something about an ADA task force person but we do not know if there were here. The County <br /> has space but we need to go through the steps. <br /> Arnold noted that there have been things done to the building to make it assessable and ADA <br /> compliance was different in the past. Some of the new regulations may not be reasonable for <br /> that building and maybe the state should address the necessary changes. DHHS noted that the <br /> building was to be demolished but that issue was discussed if the County was going to add on <br /> to the Courthouse. He stated that the county is not obligated to move them somewhere else. <br /> He stated to leave them in the current building. <br /> Schuppan stated they want to move all people in one building and he questioned the differences <br /> in the requested square footage. There are different amounts in the RFP. Discussion was held <br /> and the County does have space. Mr. Humphrey stated that there is 10,000 square feet on the <br /> second floor of the Annex Building. <br /> Bredthauer noted that in the RFP it noted 6,093 square feet with a possible cost of$173,000 <br /> and then it would increase to $200,000. She ask County Attorney Sarah Carstensen if they <br /> could do this and if they could sue the county. She also questioned what regulations for the <br /> ADA compliance would the County have to follow. She expressed concern that they are not <br /> patient and they are not waiting so we have time. <br /> 5 <br />
