30 1 Commissioner McKee said, considering on how much focus they put on process, he 2 does not understand why process was not put in this item. 3 Chair Jacobs clarified that the plaque described is designed for interior use. 4 Jeff Thompson said the exterior ones are 4 to 5 times more expensive and are more 5 difficult to install. 6 Commissioner Dorosin ran down the list of question and said he thinks any county 7 facility can be considered. He said interior plaques should be used for buildings, and signage 8 should be used for parks. 9 He said any capital project should have a plaque, and all substantive renovations should 10 have a plaque, including the Whitted building. 11 He said the standard text should include the name of the building, the year of 12 construction, and the list of Commissioners and Construction team members. He said the 13 plaques should include the names of those Board of County Commissioners who are serving at 14 the time of opening. 15 Commissioner Gordon said to look back at examples of what was done in the past. She 16 is in favor of putting plaques in all buildings at the time of project completion. She thinks the 17 plaques should be placed on the interior. She said there should probably be a size threshold 18 as well as some consideration of how many plaques are already in the building. 19 She said listing the Board members serving at the time of completion is probably 20 easiest, but this can be discussed later. 21 Commissioner Price said she is concerned about the idea that people who made a 22 project happen might not be on the plaque if it only includes people on the Board when it was 23 completed. 24 Chair Jacobs said Chapel Hill includes the names of both past and present council 25 members who were involved at any point from project approval to completion. 26 Commissioner Pelissier agreed with Commissioner Dorosin's comments, however she 27 would include Commissioners names from the beginning of the project to the end. 28 Chair Jacobs said he agreed. He said he does feel that the contemporary County logo 29 should be on the plaque. 30 Chair Jacobs said there should be a size or function threshold. 31 Commissioner Gordon said she is convinced that plaques should include the Board of 32 County Commissioners that initiated the project. She said the decision has already been made 33 that the plaques currently being put up will be the old model. She clarified that the new logo 34 discussion is related to going forward. 35 Commissioner Rich said she likes the idea of putting plaques in after renovations, as it 36 shows the history of the building. 37 Commissioner Dorosin suggested a time capsule be built into the cornerstone for any 38 new building. 39 Commissioner Price suggested a limit be placed on the cost for the individual plaques. 40 Jeff Thompson said costs would be part of the CIP. 41 Chair Jacobs said he feels this is a great example of giving the Board options. 42 Jeff Thompson said he felt staff has enough input to proceed. 43 44 Michael Talbert referred back to item 7c for clarification. He noted that the motion did 45 not include approval of the technology design. He asked if this was to be delayed until more 46 information on the monitors and other items could be presented. 47 Chair Jacobs said there were more questions to be answered before the design was 48 approved. 49 50 8.
