BOARD DISCUSSES PUBLIC MEETINGS HRT.n ON JABUARY 25. 1993.
AND THEIR INTERPRETATION AS TO WHAT THE CITIZENS THAT
ATTENDED THE MEETINGS AS WELL AS THOSE THAT HAVE ~T.T,F.Tl AND
WRITTEN TO THEIR REPRESENTATIVES FEEL THE COUNTY SHOULD DO
Mrs. Sherwood thanked all the citizens that attended the
meeting at Indian Hollow School, as she thought the largest
turnout was there, for expressing their views as well as those
citizens that had called her and had written her. She asked her
fellow board members if they were prepared to discuss the
figures that had been calculated on exactly what the citizens
felt the county should do.
Mr. Dick stated that he felt it was important for the board
to go into executive session and review the tabulated results
from the meeting of the 25th as well as the phone calls and
correspondence that have been received by each board member.
Mr. Orndoff stated that he felt there was some misunder-
standing among the county citizens as to exactly what the
Americans Disabilities Act (ADA) is saying has to be complied
with.
Mr. Longerbeam also noted the misunderstanding that a lot
of county citizens have about the ADA and what is expected of
the county as far as compliance is concerned.
201
Mr. Smith stated that at his meeting the main concern was
the cost involved. If we elected to stay downtown or if we
moved to the county they wanted to know the cost figures.
Mr. Sager stated that he felt his meeting was a good one,
with approximately fifteen citizens speaking.
Mr. Dick stated that he felt his meeting at the courthouse
went very well with a lot of good information being provided.

WORKSESSION ON JlAIfAGEMENT STUDY TO BE HELD AT FUTURE BOARD
JlEETING
202
It was the consensus of the board that due to the lateness
of the hour that the management study would be discussed at a
future board meeting.
BOARD IlEMBERS EXPRESS THEIR THOUGHTS ON WHAT THE BOARD
NEEDS TO DO IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD ON THE l"UTURE OF
COUNTY OFFICES AS TO WlUS"l'HI(K THEY REMAIN DOWII'l'OWN OR ARE
MOVED TO THE COUNTY
Mr. Dick stated that in the survey results that has been
conducted concerning what the county should do about office
space, about sixty percent favored moving to the county, and
about forty percent favored leaving the offices within the city
of Winchester. These calculations are a result of the meetings
of January 25, in addition to the correspondence and phone calls
received by each of the board members.
Mr. Longerbeam stated that he felt the county really needs
to get to the bottom line on some figures and in doing this a
number of facilities within the county need to be assessed as
well as looking at some downtown alternatives. This needs to be
reported back to the citizens in order that they in turn can
study this information and then pass their opinions on to the
board. He further stated that he felt the negotiations between
the county and city should be suspended for the time being until
this information is forth coming. He would convey this to the
Mayor of Winchester, and in doing so let him know that it is the
boards desire to discuss the joint agreements between the city
and the county, and that some of these agreements need to be
discussed very soon as they can have some far reaching effects
on both localities if a mutual understanding is not reached by
both governing bodies.
Mrs. Sherwood stated that she concurs with Mr. Longerbeam.
She too needs to get the same information to her constituents as
to what the bottom line will be and the cost involved in what-
ever decision is reached by the board with regard to the future
of county offices.
Mr. Smith stated that he did tell his constituents at the
public meeting that this would go back to the drawing board for
the figures, which in turn would be passed on to the citizens of
the county.

Mr. Sager stated two areas that needed to be addressed is
ample parking and accessibility which were brought out at his
public meeting. They referred to the present location of the
Sanitation Authority, which is the former F&M branch bank
location located on 522 south and how well this has worked, not
only the location but there is ample parking and accessibility,
especially with the drive-in window that is available.
Mr. Orndoff stated that once the figures are available he
will see they are made available to the citizens within his
district, and if any of his constituents want to express their
feelings one way or the other, not to hesitate to give him a
call.
