next year in terms of County capital outlay. He stated that the County had available, now, approximately one million dollars in this year's budget, and whatever is budgeted in the fiscal year of 1977-1978, would be added to that amount. Mr. Gustaveson used the figure $800,000. for fiscal year 1977-1978• He stated that this would give the County $1,800,000. and all of this amount would probably not be spent. This amount would allow the County to gear up to a full level of implementation, doing the Grady Brown all at one time, and begin to phase in the jail sometime next year. Then the balance could be budgeted into 1978-1979 to finish up the jail. Commissioner Gustaveson suggested that Mr. Nassif, Mr. Gattis and the Finance Director work out a realistic time schedule based on a com- mitment to begin now to implement the time schedule. Discussion ensued concerning renovating the Grady Brown Buildings in its entirety rather than breaking the project into phases. The County Manager stated that he, Mr. Nassif and Mr. Evans would meet and propose to the Board the amount of money needed to implement the renovation of the Grady Brown Building and the Board of Commissioners would then work out the time schedule according to amount of monies they ~ are willing to provide. The County Finance Director stated that with the Grady Brown as the first priority, the County could go to bids today with what monies it had. "Assuming everything would be completed by this time next year, we could do that comfortably." He stated that the County had $510,000.. in the Building Fund, $400,000 which was released by .the School Bond Referendum and approximately $240,000 is in the unappropriated fund balance. xe stated these are clear monies. However, if the County built the jail before the start of fiscal year 1978-1979, there could be a problem due to the cash flow. Mr. Nassif said that he would be meshing what is proposed in Proposal A and the monies there, with the monies that you have available and will have available and what time they will be available. Commissioner Gustaveson requested that a rough time schedule be meshed with the finances. He suggested that Mr. Nassif and Mr. Evans submit several options in terms of next years' appropriations. Mr. Nassif was requested to prepare a contract for the design of the Grady Brown Building and to have ready for review by the November 16th meeting. Commissioner Gustaveson suggested that the Finance Director have information concerning the cash flow worked into the time' schedule. Chairman Garrett stated that she would have to leave.
