Arnold stated that he disagrees that this will make it open honest government during the budget process the department heads come to the board as a courtesy with the committees it allows more input and there will be less input without the committees.

DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE ALTERNATIVE PLAN FOR THE PARKING LOT - Bredthauer stated that there is an alternative plan for the Administration Building parking lot that needs to be discussed. Richardson stated that this has been voted on and it has been discussed 2 additional times. This is not a productive way to do business to bring back issues again and again. P Y 9 9 9 Quandt stated that he talked to Mr. Humphrey and to Mr. Lanfear and there is green space on the south side and he expressed concern that the island is too large. He pointed out that • Driver's testing needs 32 ft. by 70 ft. • expressed concern regarding people backing out • if the 2 lots are connected they would have to change the island • the island is too large there needs to be more room on the isles • the trees or shrubs will catch the snow Arnold suggested making the isles 26 feet wide and he expressed concern on the cost of connecting both parking lots. Arnold made a motion and Lanfear seconded to widen the isles to 26 feet and make the island 4 foot narrower. Discussion was held and that would make the island 18.65 feet wide. Richardson noted that driver's testing was at the board meeting and they agreed that it was OK. Lanfear stated that he had some phone calls regarding the size of the island and the green space and feels that the island needs to be smaller. He noted that there is not a motion from Quandt to make it smaller. Arnold stated it is ridiculous to have recommendation from an engineer and not use them. The maintenance on the green space is not significant and there will be extra cost for the additional cement. It makes sense to line the isles up. This is a compromise. Bredthauer questioned why there needs to be green space on a parking lot it should be on the main Courthouse Quandt expressed concern on the extra cost to connect the 2 parking lots. 7
