Commissioner Stewart asked if the occupants of the present facility were satisfied with the
design.
Jim Vernon, Director of Support Services, said overall comments were favorable. In
reference to the size of the new facility, Vernon said the number of employees occupying the present
building had been fairly consistent in the past, but there had been some consolidating and
downsizing.
No revisions were suggested by the board members. Beck said the design development stage
would be the next step. Smith said this should be completed in two weeks.
