23 <br /> 1 Commissioner Gordon said another department may want to use some space here for <br /> 2 recreation space or office space. She said she wants to underscore the need for flexibility, and <br /> 3 the ability to have this flexibility makes her more comfortable with the plan. <br /> 4 Commissioner Rich asked about the timing of the technology discussion. <br /> 5 Ken Redfoot said this will be done over the next two months. He said there is a <br /> 6 consultant already on board and details will be nailed down. <br /> 7 Commissioner Rich said her concern is mostly that there be availability and capability for <br /> 8 web streaming and television viewing to provide access and transparency for the public. <br /> 9 Commissioner Dorosin asked about the maximum capacity for seating. <br /> 10 Ken Redfoot said the Fire Marshall has set this number at 294 people. <br /> 11 Commissioner Dorosin suggested the use of mobile screens to address the issues with <br /> 12 presentation visibility for the audience and guests. <br /> 13 Commissioner McKee said he appreciates what has been brought forward and he feels <br /> 14 other boards will be attracted to use the space once it is completed. He asked if staff is still <br /> 15 confident on staying within the approved budget. <br /> 16 Ken Redfoot said yes. He said there will be another cost estimate of work done soon, <br /> 17 but right now his staff is working within the Board's budget. <br /> 18 Commissioner Price referred to the plan for a smaller space. She feels this limits how <br /> 19 the space can be used. She said at this point she is leaning against the use of flex space for <br /> 20 conference rooms. <br /> 21 Chair Jacobs said there are very few large meeting rooms for the public, and the <br /> 22 opportunity to have one here at Whitted is a rare opportunity. He said he would like to start with <br /> 23 the premise that the bigger the space, the more it will be used. <br /> 24 Commissioner Gordon asked when the technology plan will come back, and if it is <br /> 25 possible to have it sooner than November 5th <br /> 26 Ken Redfoot said this can be provided sooner <br /> 27 Commissioner Gordon said she feels this should be requested sooner than November <br /> 28 5th. She asked why this 4th plan was not included in the packet. She also noted that the space <br /> 29 study is still to be completed. She said conference rooms could be added later, and the flex <br /> 30 space could be made into offices. She likes long term strategic plans and she wants to <br /> 31 underscore that this approval does not preclude reacting to the space study, and making <br /> 32 changes to the Whitted space later. <br /> 33 <br /> 34 A motion was made by Commissioner Pelissier, seconded by Commissioner Gordon to <br /> 35 continue to review and comment on the schematic design of the Whitted Permanent meeting <br /> 36 room initially presented during the September 12, 2013 work session; to receive and review a <br /> 37 requested report of technology alternatives prior to the November 5th meeting; and to authorize <br /> 38 staff to move forward with construction document preparation subject to a review and <br /> 39 discussion of the technology alternatives report. <br /> 40 <br /> 41 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 42 <br /> 43 8. Reports - NONE <br /> 44 <br /> 45 9. County Manager's Report - NONE <br /> 46 <br /> 47 10. County Attorney's Report - NONE <br /> 48 <br /> 49 11. Appointments <br /> 50 <br />
