Commission Minutes-September 2, 2008 3417 who will leave their current furniture at the Annex. This will save on moving costs and allow for a better fit-up of the smaller offices. Mr. Bennett suggested the county consider eliminating any type of storage in the basement. Mr. Wagner said at the present time county offices are cramped and need storage space. The plan recommended by the consultant is for a three-year period, and a new addition may help address long-term storage issues. MOTION, passed Mr. Wagner moved and Mrs. Sorum seconded to approve the actions of the Building Committee to allocate space on the third floor between the State's Attorney Office, Veteran's Service Office and Clerk of Court for filing space; and to authorize the County Administrator to move forward with Christianson's Business Furniture to fit-up the space on the third floor. Costs for the fit-up will come from available funding in the respective 2008 office budgets and the Cass County Building Fund. Discussion: Mr. Wagner said the motion includes the understanding that the Clerk of District Court will move stored items from the north basement to the location on the third floor to allow the County Recorder to use the space in the north basement storage room. The file room on third floor would be used by the Clerk of Court for a three-year period. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. 8.
