<br />Building Committee-September 12, 2007 2 <br /> <br />the next step should be in the process and said the county needs to decide whether to <br />prepare a building proposal considering space needs only or whether to limit the dollar <br />amount available to spend on an addition while allowing room for future expansion. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner believes the space survey conducted last year needs to be considered by <br />Foss; however, he is concerned that the new addition will not provide sufficient space <br />for all the requests outlined in the survey. <br /> <br />Mrs, Johnson suggested the committee consider the following: arrange a meeting with <br />Foss Architecture & Interiors to discuss the contract; present the proposal to the <br />county commission; and direct the architect to review the space surveys and meet with <br />departments to see if their needs have changed since last year, when the survey was <br />conducted, After this has been completed, she suggested needs be prioritized and a <br />timeline be set to move forward with the building process, <br /> <br />Judge Herman suggested Foss Architecture & Interiors work with a consultant, such <br />as the National Center for State Courts, who specialize in court room design needs. <br />Mrs, Johnson said an architect from the national center was used during the <br />preliminary phase to consider the court's needs, <br />MOTION, passed <br />Mr. Herman moved and Mr. Vanyo seconded to authorize Mr. Wagner, <br />Mrs. Johnson and Mr. Burdick meet with Foss Architecture & <br />Interiors to determine whether Foss wants to continue working with <br />Cass County to plan and construct a new addition and to determine <br />what contract modifications would be necessary to move forward. <br />On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />6.
