Commissioner Foushee agreed. She said that it would be hard for her to move forward on the proposed options until she has heard from the public in that area. Commissioner Hemminger said that she agreed that they do need a plan and to spend $100,000/year for upkeep now is not sustainable. She would like to deconstruct this entire building at some point and build a new facility that is energy efficient, but she still wants to have a plan in place before making any decisions. She said that the current building is not a user- friendly place. She would rather see a new structure that can last for a very long time and is more efficient.
