22 <br /> 1 If yes, did he have suggestions? If no, please request that he review it, and provide comments. <br /> 2 The Sheriff and his staff involved in -the Threat Assessment work group have provided <br /> 3 general input with regard -to -the need -for a safe area and con-trolled access near-the <br /> 4 dais.. This input was shared with -the BOCC in work session on April '16, 20,11 Staff <br /> 5 will receive specific -feedback -from -the Sheriff and his staff with regard -to -the design and <br /> 6 will bring -this -feedback -to -the Board on September 17 1h <br /> 7 <br /> 8 2. It is my understanding that the dais at the Southern Human Services Center is designed to <br /> 9 be bullet-proof. Is that true of the proposed dais at the Whitted Building? If it is not, what would <br /> 10 it take to make it that way? <br /> 11 The dais design at -the proposed meeting room at -the Whitted Building will include a 3/8" <br /> 12 bullet-re sistaint painel -from -the -floor-to -the -top of-the dais wall (approximately 42" high). <br /> 13 This is -the same material used in -the millwork -for-the judges, clerks and witiness stainds <br /> 14 in -the Orainge County Justice Expansion project.. <br /> 15 <br /> 16 3. The designs show a dais for 7 people, but I believe we were told that there would be more <br /> 17 than that. How many people will be seated at the dais and why (especially if it is more than 9)? <br /> 18 The dais design is -flexible -to accommodate -the current seven County Commissioners <br /> 19 with approximately 46" of counter width and -the potential use of other Boards.. The <br /> 20 "'maximum" recommended Board usage would be the '12-person County Planning Board, <br /> 21 which would provide each person approximately 28" of counter width.. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 4. The packet shows three designs, but we were shown four designs at the work session. <br /> 24 Please send that fourth design to us. <br /> 25 Also, please send us the previous design that showed the offices. <br /> 26 See attached - 7-b - Question 4 A - Commissioner Gordon - Alternate Whitted BoCC <br /> 27 Layout <br /> 28 See attached - 7-b - Question 4 B - Commissioner Gordon .-Whitted Office Layout <br /> 29 <br /> 30 <br /> 31 5. For the three designs in the agenda packet, is there any difference in what would actually be <br /> 32 constructed? If so, what is the cost of constructing each of the three designs? <br /> 33 No, -the -three plains show -the same space being used -for-three different -types of <br /> 34 meetings.. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Thank you. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Alice Gordon <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Commissioner Gordon asked about Sheriff input in the threat assessment work. <br /> 41 Jeff Thompson said he met with sheriffs staff this morning, and staff favored the green <br /> 42 room for threat assessment. He said the Sheriff recommended the Commissioners enter <br /> 43 through the rear of the building, and he recommended three entrances to the meeting room. <br /> 44 He said the sheriff was satisfied with the ballistics protection of the dais and the room. <br /> 45 Commissioner Gordon referred to the fourth plan. There is the alternate Board of <br /> 46 County Commissioners lay out which shows less space for the meeting room and more rooms <br /> 47 for offices and other uses. She noted that the space study will be coming back later, and she <br /> 48 noted that there is still flexibility to add another conference room and to further divide the flex <br /> 49 space. <br />
