FACILITIES —A) DISCUSSION & POSSIBLE ACTION ON PARKING LOT DESIGN BEHIND THE COURTHOUSE —Loren said he had talked to Gary about the lot and they cannot expand the lot but they need a wider drive way he provided a copy to the proposed changes. They need to move it farther south and the city has approved the design. He is asking if he should proceed with the project. GIS helped them with this and they will be able to help with the correct slop for the drive way. It is steep and will add to the cost of the project. He also said that the maintenance tunnel that was abandoned is under this drive way the conduit and the water lines were moved the prisoner tunnel except for the domestic water lines that will have to be protected. They will remove the top of the old tunnel and backfill it with gravel so they can change the elevation so I is not so step and it will be an improvement to get in and out of the lot.

Motion carried B) UPDATE ON COURTHOUSE EGRESSES & FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM — Loren stated that the water main is plumbed into the building and it is currently being tested to determine if they have pressure. This should be completed by the first of the week and then they can put the sidewalks back and repair the street and the floor in the courthouse. They have built a cupboard around the main line and then will hook up the rest of the building if it passes the testing. Loren stted they are trying to schedule the final walk through for the egress but they glass above the doors is back ordered. They will do the final inspections when the glass comes in.

The alarms are not part of the project they will install them once the rest has been completed Quandt ask if there will be cameras and Sheriff Conrad stated there is one camera and they can adjust it so they can see the area. Loren expressed concern on the signs for the egresses. They cannot chain it off so they will put up signs so if someone is caught on the steps there is a way to address it. He said they are still waiting for carpet and is should be here by August 9th. Lancaster said the signs are a good idea, the newness will wear off 7
