She questioned if an elevator would be necessary before any additions ar made to the building. Dr. Eason said he thought they could meet minimal requirements as the building exists, but one of the requirements coming out of the ADA is associated with the Civil Rights legislation, and that is that you have to provide access through the front door, that you cannot send people to the back door. No one knows to what extent you can meet a need with a reasonable alternative, Eason said. He would like to see the building brought to full ADA requirements if they made the addition. They building has a lot of potential. They plan to put in ADA requirement rest rooms in the new facility portion. Commissioner Boone inquired about using chair lifts in lieu of an elevator. Dr. Eason said that would bring up other problems. In addition they need the elevator for carrying supplies and materials from one floor to another floor. He thinks that an elevator is just about a requirement of a modern day facility. Commissioner Madison inquired about state funds for the school's facilities. Dr. Eason said the proposed bond issue would allow them to put on two projects and they were hopeful. They do seek grants in areas available that are available to them. Commissioner Madison inquired about the $500,000 budgeted last year. Dr. Eason said they did not have that money. it is still in Capital Projects in the County, according to Mr. Mashburn.
