13 1 Ken Redfoot said no. He said the driver of these flex spaces is the big space 2 and its size. 3 Commissioner Gordon asked about the size of the flex spaces. 4 Ken Redfoot said the flex spaces to the far left and right are approximately 800 5 square feet. He said the two down below are 1000 square feet on one side and 1200 6 square feet on the other. 7 Commissioner McKee said this room and design accommodates their meeting 8 room needs and can be adapted as needed. He said once the other potential users 9 see the space their decision about use may change. 10 Commissioner Pelissier said the cultural center did disband, but she knows 11 people that are still interested in renting the facility for community use. She said she 12 likes the plan, and she wants to keep the flex space. She would like to keep a 13 placeholder for this. 14 Jeff Thompson said there was a plan shown in February that had office space as 15 part of a space study update. He said that there was a discussion in May about adding 16 these spaces at a later date. He said it was also requested that staff reach out to the 17 arts community, and the purpose of the flex space proposal is to leave that option open. 18 Commissioner Price said the cultural center has been disbanded, but there are 19 some members hanging on to the name and some of the funding. She said there are 20 neighborhood groups who may want to use this space. She asked if the building would 21 be open during the day. 22 Chair Jacobs said it would be open if there are offices on the floor, it would be 23 open. 24 Commissioner Rich asked about the green space. She asked if this could be 25 used for closed sessions. 26 Frank Clifton answered yes, and he said this is a secure room. 27 Commissioner Rich said she likes the adaptability of the space. She would like 28 to leave space for a portable stage. She said this will all come in stages though. 29 Chair Jacobs said Commissioner McKee's point is good. He feels that this 30 space will likely get more use once it is built. He said the Board of Education had no 31 information earlier in the process and thought there would be a charge to use the space, 32 which led to the vote against it. He feels that this decision may change sometime down 33 the line. 34 Commissioner Gordon said she has reservations about this plan. 35 36 4. Strateciic Communications Plan/County Locio 37 Carla Banks reviewed the proposed outline for the strategic communications 38 plan. She said the outline is tied to the goals of the Board of County Commissioners as 39 discussed in the February planning retreat, specifically goals 2, 3, and 4. She said she 40 would like to determine which elements the Commissioners would like to keep, change, 41 delete or add. 42 She began with point 1 in media relations on page 3 of the outline and asked for 43 Board feedback. 44 Commissioner Gordon asked if Carla Banks could go through her presentation 45 starting at the beginning of the outline. She said she has general questions and she 46 thought this would start with an overview, before getting into the details. 47 Carla Banks said she is proposing the outline so she has a basis to create a 48 working document based on Board input. She noted that the Board had requested the 49 opportunity to be part of that process. She said the outline's purpose was to list the 50 elements that should be in the plan and give an opportunity for things to be added. 51 Commissioner Gordon said she would prefer starting at the beginning of the 52 document. 53 Carla Banks read the purpose as outlined on page 2 of the abstract.
