Quandt questioned if they could use the bottom of the Federal Building. <br /> Loran stated it is hard to get the furniture in and out. They would have to come through the front <br /> door and carry it over the tile floors. All of the carpet and the excess tile would have to be <br /> moved by hand. Loran stated that 2 of his employees are working 10 hour days on the security <br /> installation at the Courthouse. They will be staring at the park soon and that leaves him with 2 <br /> to keep up with the day to day maintenance and all of the snow removal. <br /> Hartman suggested hiring someone to do the moving instead of doing it themselves. He also <br /> stated that if the county keeps the old Health Department Building it will need some work. <br /> Loran proved information on the Health Department building and some estimated on the <br /> demolition and a proposed parking lot. <br /> Richardson noted the estimated for the demolition and the parking lot. She stated it is a lot of <br /> money to get a parking lot. <br /> Bredthauer noted that the airport tore down the 8000 square foot old terminal for a lot less. <br /> Loran stated he took the total square footage of the building times the dollar amount he was told <br /> it would cost. <br /> Quandt expressed concern on the numbers he also asked they would also have to tear out <br /> some of the old concrete. <br /> Richardson ask why we are tearing down a building to create a parking lot to help City Hall and <br /> downtown Grand Island. The building is being used for storage you do not tear down a good <br /> building for a parking lot. <br /> Lancaster questioned if the building is worth saving. If the county uses the inheritance fund for <br /> major building expense there are prefab building that could be used for storage. Discussion was <br /> held regarding the asbestos and Loran stated that if you do not occupy a building you do not <br /> have to remove the asbestos. There is storage space in the annex that could be used. <br /> Mr. Humphrey stated that he needs more time to clean out the health department building and <br /> dispose of the surplus furniture. <br /> Bredthauer reviewed the budget and the dollars that would be available in the building and land <br /> fund. <br /> Hartman stated that at the last 2 meting they keep spending money and he stated they need to <br /> put a freeze on all expenditures. <br /> Peterson stated they need to handle things in order and Loran needs some extra time to clean <br /> out the building. He stated he needs 90 day to get it done with all of the bad weather we have <br /> had. <br /> Peterson made a motion and Quandt seconded to allow 90 days from March 5th to clean out the <br /> building. Bredthauer, Hartman, Hurst, Lancaster, Peterson, Quandt and Richardson all voted <br /> yes and none voted no. Motion carried. <br /> Hartman stated that if you keep the building you need to spend some money to keep it up. <br /> 9 <br />
