three projects. He said the board decided to construct a new agricultural building because of the
need for additional court space. Johnson said he also recalled the board felt it would take two
budget years to complete the library project, and this was why DSS was designated as the second
building project.
Commissioner Williams said he was understanding that DSS was to be done in 2001-02 and
the library during 2002-03 and 2003-04.
Johnson said that was correct
Mashburn said the county already had the money to accomplish the DSS project. He said
an architect would be needed after the feasibility study was finished. Mr. Mashburn said he felt the
majority of the $2.5 million for this year would be carried into FY 2001-02. He said another $2
million or $2.5 could be budgeted adding up to $4.5 million or more.
Johnson said he thought it would be advisable to consider what projects might be next and
what "financing vehicle" the county could use. He mentioned planning and mapping as potential
projects.
Mashburn said he wasn't sure the county could wait that long to address space needs for
planning. He said the county might be able to lease space for a period of time.
Commissioner Johnson asked the manager to determine how much space was needed for the
planning and mapping departments between now and the 2001 planning session.
Chairman Tice said she continued to receive complaints about the voting booths. She said
some of the booths needed to be upgraded. Commissioner Bowles said he had heard complaints
about the mold and mildew.
Commissioner Williams said he thought the board needed to become serious about a Capital
Improvement Plan, in cooperation with the school systems. He said it would be beneficial to
examine the school needs and to look at financing methods to pay for them over the next five or six
years.
