Dated at Fargo, North Dakota, this 2nd day of September, 2008. 7. COURTHOUSE THIRD FLOOR RE-USE RECOMMENDATIONS, Approved Mr. Wagner serves as chairman of the Building Committee, which has been meeting for a number of months. The Regional Child Support Enforcement Unit recently moved from the Courthouse third floor to an off-site facility, and the committee has discussed the re-use of the Courthouse third floor in great detail. A consultant studied space needs of each department and created a three-year interim plan which includes a recommendation to move the State's Attorney and Veteran's Service Offices to this location. Mr. Wagner said the State's Attorney Office has experienced growth in caseloads and staffing over the last few years, and since they are in close proximity to the third floor, this move may be convenient for their office. The flow between floors will be manageable. Mr. Wagner said the Veteran's Service employees are cramped in their current location at the Annex. Offices on the third floor are smaller than their current offices, but conference rooms have been designated to meet with their clientele, space has been allocated for their receptionist, and additional space for their filing system has been included. One of the overall benefits will be the additional space at the Annex for the Social Services department. Mr. Wagner said the plan also includes a room dedicated for Clerk of District Court file storage. This will allow Clerk of Court and District Court files stored in the north basement to be moved to the third floor. Additional room will then be available in the north basement storage room for the County Recorder's books with space to set up a table to view the books rather than haul them upstairs. Bonnie Johnson, County Administrator, discussed costs associated with the fit-up on third floor. She said three options were considered: construction walls, modular walls or panel walls. Modular walls are similar to double sheetrock walls and are sound proof. This kind of system may be set up in 48 hours with minimal disturbance to the area. She said since the solution is intended for a three-year period, she recommends the county use the modular option offered by the vendor LifeSPACETM. Preliminary estimates for the moveable walls were $48,250 and $7,800 for delivery and installation. In addition, workstations are needed for the clerical staff at an estimated cost of $6,954. She said costs for office furniture have not been determined, but are needed for a team of attorneys and for Veteran's Service staff,
