A significant percentage of the $1,540 total would not be charged on the final design specifications for the clerk’s office, said Baumgardner. While experts are looking at the clerk’s office—talking to the judges, taking measure.ments, assessing the wiring and furnace—it won’t cost too much more to have them look at the court house expansion possibilities too, Baumgardner suggested.
Plans on the clerk’s office will still have to be related to the overall complex plans for the future, said Davis. He proposed that the architect do all of the overall study except the actual drawings of the court house, and estimated that this would save the county $400 off the estimated price.
The original resolution passed by the Board in authorizing the expansion plans to proceed stated that both the overall complex and clerk’s office should be studied to make sure the expansions would be architecturally compatible, noted Baumgardner.
It would be cheaper now to do it than later, commented Latham.
BALDWIN disagreed. It may turn out that the county will not ever need to expand the court house itself, he contended, with crime on the decrease, an improved sheriff’s department and a tougher attitude shown by the judges.
The Board voted unanimously to accept the proposal for preliminary design services, with only the court house drawing eliminated.
The courtroom cleared before Clerk Ned Jones presented monthly accounts for payment. When he gave the sheriff’s department mileage figures, Latham asked, “does it have the logs for the mileage attached?’’
Jones passed the sheets to Latham for his examination while Baldwin and Wood checked the phone bills on long distance calls by county offices. All the accounts were approved without comment.
