Frank Clifton said that the funds are there until the Board of County Commissioners gives staff direction. Parts of the building may or may not be salvageable. He said that the funding has to be budgeted no matter what the Board decides. He said that it might be more astute to take the money they are using now to operate this facility and put it into a new building. He does not want to leave the building abandoned for too long. Commissioner McKee echoed Commissioner Jacobs' comments and said that eventually the facility may have to come down, but before then, they need to engage the community. Commissioner Hemminger said that she agreed with engaging the public but she cannot see budgeting a full year of funding that can be used for other things. The County cannot run this building the way it is running now.
