Jeff Thompson said if the schematic design is approved the team would prepare final design documents over the next two months, before bringing them back for a final look. He said after this is approved the plan will be put out to market to receive bids before Christmas, and construction will begin in the winter. The estimated completion date is June of 2014. Commissioner Pelissier said it is not clear to her where participants for joint meetings will have a view of a screen. She noted that those elected officials, as well as other participants will need to have a view of the presentations that are made. Ken Redfoot said this would need to be examined. He did not realize the importance of that angle, but this will be considered in the next level of design. Commissioner Gordon reinforced what Commissioner Pelissier said about the audience and Board of County Commissioners with regard to the screens and acoustical information. Commissioner Gordon said she did send out questions via email to staff and the Board. She requested that these be included as part of the minutes , with staff responses shown below: From: Alice Gordon [mailto:gordon.alice(a�gmail.com] Sent: Monday, September 16, 2013 10:06 AM To: Barry Jacobs; Bernadette Pelissier; Earl McKee; gordon.alice(o-)_gmail.com; Alice Gordon; Mark Dorosin; Penny Rich; Donna Baker; Frank Clifton; Greg Wilder; Michael Talbert Subject: Questions/ comments on Item 7-b Questions/ comments on item 7-b - Sept. 17, 2013 - Whitted Building 1.

It is my understanding that the dais at the Southern Human Services Center is designed to be bullet-proof. Is that true of the proposed dais at the Whitted Building? If it is not, what would it take to make it that way? "rhe dais design at-the proposed meeting iroom at-the Whitted Building will 'include a 3/8" bullet iresistant Ipanel firom -the flloor-t -the -top of-the dais wall (alplpirox'iimatelly 42" Ihigh). "rhis is -the same material used in -the millwork fair-the judges, clerks and witness stands in -the Orange County Justice Expansion Ipiroject.. 3. The designs show a dais for 7 people, but I believe we were told that there would be more than that. How many people will be seated at the dais and why (especially if it is more than 9)? "rhe dais design is fllex'ilblle -to accommodate -the cuirirent seven County Commissioners with approximately 46" of counter width and -the Ipotential use of other Boards °"rhe 6`max'iimum" irecommended Board usage wound be the '12,,,,Ipeir on County Planning Board, which wound Iprovide each person approximately 28" of counter width.. 4. The packet shows three designs, but we were shown four designs at the work session. Please send that fourth design to us. Also, please send us the previous design that showed the offices.
