9. Update on the Video Arraignment Equipment Request from the Clerk of Court: At
the agenda briefing, County Manager Mashburn said that at a prior meeting (September 6, 2005),
the staff was requested to evaluate the cost savings that might occur with the usage of video
arraignment equipment in the Mooresville Courtroom. He said the sheriff's office had recently
reported that no "significant" savings could be found. Mashburn said also, that no inmates
were being transported at the present, and this eliminated the security issue. Mr. Mashburn said
that in the legal community there appeared to be widespread usage of the equipment, and that as
demand increased, the purchase might be more justified. He suggested that the staff continue to
evaluate the request through the duration of this fiscal year and to re -review the matter for the
FY 06-07 budget.
10. Request for Approval of an Architectural Proposal from Design Associates for the
Renovation of the North Center Street Social Services Building and Approval of a Capital
Project Ordinance: During the briefing session, Support Services Director Jim Vernon said
Chuck Goode, with Design Associates, was familiar with the DSS building being proposed to
house the planning, zoning and inspections departments. He said Design Associates was
proposing a fee of $20,000 for architectural services, and this would include $4,000 for
mechanical and electrical engineering services (Todd W. Carey & Associates). Mr. Vernon said
there was no site bidding, construction, administration or fire protection services included in the
fee, and any other services would be provided at an hourly rate. Vernon said the entire building
would be used and not many structural changes would occur. He said the building's exterior
would be painted and the 1940 addition would be re -roofed, but this was about the extent of the
facility's improvements on the outside. Vernon recommended approval of the design proposal
and a capital project ordinance. He said Goode would have layout and design meetings with the
county departments occupying the building.
