Comments: • Generally liked space and saw merit as a Board meeting room; • Acoustics will need to be addressed; i Desire to offer to Town of Hillsborough and orange County School Board for meetings; • Marginal interest in sharing with OCCC. Concerned the dais will be difficult to manage if it becomes part of the performance stage the OCCC would need; • Some concern that the space may be oversized for the purpose; Interested in creating a smaller meeting room in the "children's area" for closed sessions and perhaps work sessions; • Debated fixed vs. movable seating ---no clear winner; • Discussed long -term possibility of creating a Tv studio in the area previously known as the !North Carolina Room (David Hunt) • Clerk's staff expressed desire to bring cablecasting equipment from Southern Human Services Center(SHSC) to this location (only the equipment needed to update the bulletin board and other postings on the public access channel -- -would not affect equipment used to televise meetings from SHSC). Currently they must physically go to SHSC to accomplish this work, • Ensure the meeting room is viewed in context with the overall long -term space needs for the County, Commissioner Gordon wants to update the space study (or create a whole new one, since the old one is basically completed at this time) • Concerned about parking and how we get past that hurdle; • Concerned about the impact on the neighborhood. • Site security would need to be enhanced; • Gave assurances that the area was now structurally sound.
