3 1 Commissioner Yuhasz asked about the septic system that would be required for this 2 structure and if the funding reflects the septic system required. 3 Frank Clifton said that the septic field determined what size facility they could build. It 4 was a limitation. 5 Commissioner Yuhasz asked if the same people showed up at both meetings. 6 Dave Stancil said that about 75% were repeat attenders and also staff brought visual 7 presentations to the second meeting, which was important to the community. 8 Commissioner Jacobs asked if this was going to be a green building. There was a 9 discussion in the past about using solar panels. He asked if the figures included some kinds of 10 green aspects or alternative construction. 11 Jeff Thompson said that this would definitely be a part of the construction. 12 Frank Clifton said that there are no plans to use geothermal wells. 13 Commissioner Jacobs asked about the process after tonight and Dave Stancil said that 14 it would come back to the Board of County Commissioners as early as November 8t" 15 Commissioner Jacobs suggested inviting all community residents to these meetings 16 where this is being discussed. He said that some of the money the County got from 17 Congressman David Price years ago was supposed to be used for the septic site at Northern 18 Human Services Center, and money was borrowed from this fund to fund other things in the 19 past. 20 Chair Pelissier said that the community was amenable to have an EMS station there. 21 She asked how this would affect the septic system. Jeff Thompson said that an EMS use 22 would not affect the overall system. 23 Commissioner Gordon said that she likes the option of adapting the current building. 24 She feels uncomfortable doing this outside of the budget process. 25 Frank Clifton said that the design work still has to be done, which will take 9-12 months. 26 After that, the County Commissioners can then decide whether or not to build the facility itself. 27 Dave Stancil said that one of the biggest concerns at the meeting was that the 28 community feared the deconstruction would take place and then nothing would happen after 29 that. 30 Commissioner Foushee said that she prefers the adaptive reuse option. She said that 31 the community also prefers this option. 32 Commissioner McKee said that he does not want to make promises and not follow 33 through like with the Rogers Road area. 34 Commissioner Yuhasz suggested moving forward at least with the design for option 2 at 35 a minimum. 36 Commissioner Jacobs agreed that option 2 is the preferred option, but he would like the 37 public to have an opportunity to voice their opinion before the Board acts. 38 Commissioner Jacobs asked about the process about naming this building. 39 Dave Stancil said that this question will be addressed as this is moved forward. 40 Commissioner Jacobs suggested that if there is an advisory board then it needs to be 41 given a copy of the naming policy to refer to. 42 Chair Pelissier said that she preferred option 2. She wants to honor the County's 43 commitment to the community. As for naming the facility, she would like to ask the advisory 44 group for suggestions for names. 45 Commissioner Gordon said that this is part of the naming policy. 46 47 2.
