0 BOOK 21 PAGE 8 1 Commissioner Reives stated he would not be attending the work session listed on the agenda and asked for clarification as to what the work session involved. Chairman Hincks stated he had been working with Assistant County Manager Kenny Cole to receive the same information from all proposals submitted for a new Administrative Building that had been presented on the Buggy Factory (Chatham Street). He further stated he hoped to collect enough information to recommend a space needs study of all County facilities. Mr. Hincks also stated that many proposals had been received for vacant land to build a new building, but land was available next to the Government Center that would be more than enough to build a new Administrative Building, Health Department or Social Services Department if the Commissioners elected to build a new building. It was stated that Mr. Cole would be discussing a space needs study in the amount of $35,000 at the work session, outline space needs information he has obtained, and address where deficiencies lie at this time. It was suggested it might be best to address overcrowding at the Health Department and Social Service Department now instead of administrative needs. After further discussion, Commissioner Reives moved to reject and dispense with all discussion of building a new Administrative Building and any land and building offers that have been received, and to approve up to $35,000 for a space needs study of all County facilities except the Lee County Jail. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Adams, Brown, Hincks, Lemmond, Paschal, Reives, and Stevens Nay: None The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. Mr. Joe Cherry, Chairman of the Employee Selection Committee, presented Ms. Ann Holder, COLTS Van Driver as the August 2006 Employee of the Month. Chairman Hincks presented Ms. Holder with her awards, which included a day off with pay, a "Star Award" a framed certificate, a pizza from Papa John's Pizza, Coca Cola products, and a movie rental from Movie Gallery. At this time the Planning Board returned from discussing recommendations pertaining to the four (4) UDO text amendments discussed earlier in the meeting. Assistant Community Development Director Marshall Downey told the Board that the Planning Board recommended approval of all four previously discussed LIDO text amendments. Commissioner Reives moved to approve text amendments to the Special Use Permits (Zoning and Permitting Procedures, Section 3.5.3). Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Adams, Brown, Hincks, Lemmond, Paschal, Reives, and Stevens Nay: None The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. 5
