432 This motion was seconded by Commissioner Whitted. All members voted aye. EXECUTIVE SESSION The Board adjourned from Executive Session to consider further business. Commissioner Gustaveson inquired if the Grady Brawn building could be renovated in a phase plan and could it be financed over more than one budget period? Mr. Nassif stated that you must allow 8 months to a year for renovation of Grady Brown, however, he suggested doing the addition first and then the building could be occupied as the remainder of the building was being renovated. He stated that he recommended that work be done simultaneously if economically possible. Discussion ensued concerning a possible bond issue for County buildings as well as school addition. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that he saw no problem with a bond election if the need was prevalent and a gaad package was pre- sented. He stressed the need to make a decision tonight because work could not begin on the up coming budget until the Board knew what they were going to do. Commissioner Gustaveson moved that the Board accept the concept of Proposal A and the estimated cost. Commissioner Whitted inquired "What is the estimated cost?" The Board agreed that the estimated cost for executing Proposal A was about two million dollars. Commissioner Gustaveson's motion died for lack of a second. Commissioner Gustaveson moved that the Board begin planning to implement Proposal A of the Nassif Report. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Whitted. Chairman Garrett added the words 'with flexibility?'" and Mr. Gustaveson said "no". Commissioner Walker then suggested that the words "with Flexibility" should be included in the motion. Commissioner Gustaveson then stated that he felt the Proposal A had flexibility already in it in some areas, however, other areas did need flexibility. He then stated that it did not matter. The Chairman .called for the vote. Voting aye were all Commissioners. The Chairman declared the motion passed. Commissioner Whitted stated that he felt the Board needed to indicate to the School Boards their action and to set a date for a meeting with the School Boards. Mr. Gustaveson stated that this was one of the points he wished to make. He stated further that the Finance Officer be requested to provide the Board of Commissioners with estimates of the limit this year's budget could stand. He also asked that this Board continue with the implementation of the Nassif Study by having the stress study conducted on the Grady Brown Build- ing. Mr. Gustaveson stated that he thought the School Board needed to know whether the Commissioners were committed to a Bond issue and the Commissioners should indicate their intentions to the School Board. Commissioner Pinney and Walker stated that they felt the Commis- sioners should wait before committing themselves to a Bond issue. To get more information as to how much money will be needed.
