2 Chair Jacobs made reference to adoption fees and suggested thinking about how to help those that cannot afford to adopt a dog and to make it a little mare accessible. Commissioner Gordon arrived at 7:44 p.m. John Link said that they have not had a chance to look at the animal services fees since the department came under the County. Commissioner Carey suggested that the Animal Services Board look at objectives for the fees. Chair Jacobs made reference to page 12 and asked about the out-of-state officer fee and Sheriff Pendergrass said that it is a $75 fee for a civil process. They may come back in the fall to ask for a resolution to raise this fee to $100. Commissioner Halkiotis asked the Sheriff how long the State had been reimbursing the County for an inmate at the rate of $14.50 a day. The Sheriff said that this rate has been in effect far three years. The County gets $5$ a day far federal prisoners. Chair Jacobs asked how much it cost per day to house an inmate and the Sheriff said about $30-351day for state prisoners. 3. Senior Center/Adult Day Health CenterlSportsplex Purchasing and Central Services Director Pam Jones said that this project is near design completion. There are three components up for consideration. • Senior Center -Initially, the center was going to be 10,000 square feet of new construction and shared space of 5,000 square feet in the Sportsplex. After the first meeting, they realized that the senior programming was going to require all of that space and did not want to share with the Sportsplex. • Adult Day Health Care Program -This program is currently in leased space at the existing senior center. This program needs to be in close proximity to the senior center. • Space displaced far the Sportsplex and the mezzanine area. This will be constructed over the ice rink. Pam Janes said that they would not have cast information tonight because the space is not completely designed yet. The preliminary cost estimates are double the initial proposals. She made reference to a letter from Florence Soltys that pledges the commitment to help defray the capital costs by private charitable organizations fundraising. Ken Redfoot from Corley Redfoot Zack made a pictorial presentation. Commissioner Halkiotis said that he was at a meeting of the Friends of the Central grange Senior Center last week and they discussed these plans. He got a call today from a member that was concerned about having enough natural lighting for the common area and Commissioner Halkiotis assured him that the location of the commons area was decided after a lot of discussion and debate and the designer has assured them that there would be enough natural light. He asked Ken Redfoot to assure them that there would be enough natural light. He said that they visited three senior centers several months ago and one was dark and gloomy in its common area. The common area also needs to be well-defined. Commissioner Gordon asked about square feet and it was answered 4,166 square feet far the green area and the mezzanine area is 6,277 square feet. Commissioner Carey asked about the seating and Ken Redfoot said that they would leave some adequate seating for viewing and use the other area for the locker room areas that were displaced. They will not have the same amount of seating, but it appears that it will be enough. Commissioner Carey asked about the multi-purpose room and the segmented wall and Ken Redfoot said that it would be an electronic wall.
