2 <br />In order to ensure that the development of court facilities receives the thoughtful <br />attention to which it is entitled, it is suggested that a second, smaller committee be <br />appointed by the Board to <br />• Review the impact/projected impact of the additions to the Courthouse and Jail; and <br />• In light of the findings during this review, make recommendations to the <br />Commissioners regarding how the 1995 study recommendations should be <br />modified, if at all. <br />Operational issues are likely to impact how and when facilities are developed. In order <br />to ensure complete information is considered as facilities are .recommended, the <br />subcommittee should also review significant future operational changes. This could <br />include a wide spectrum of subjects. Two specific examples include visions of the Court <br />system for future automation and how safety issues will be addressed in the facilities. <br />RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board: <br />• Receive the information as presented; and <br />• Appoint a committee to review and report to the Board: <br />* The impact of recent construction of court related additions; <br />* Operational changes which could potentially affect the manner in which the <br />facilities are used; <br />* Suggested modifications to the recommendations issued in 1995. <br />• Suggestions for this committee include: <br />* Resident Superior Court Judge Wade Barber; <br />* Chief District Court Judge Joe Buckner; <br />* District Attorney Carl Fox; <br />* Sheriff Lindy Pendergrass; <br />* Clerk of Court Joan Terry; and <br />* District 15B Bar Association President, or designee; <br />* The County Manager and others he may designate. <br />• Request that the committee report their findings to the Board of Commissioners by <br />August 31, 1998. <br />
