Mr. Ray spoke about court proceedings, but those comments were inaudible. Mrs. McCall asked if superior courtrooms may be used for other court cases when the superior court was not in session. Mr. Ray said yes, and those existing courtrooms were currently being used for child support court, and other court is held there when needed. He referred to a courtroom on the ground floor ofthe existing building and said it was essentially a cinder block storage room that was being used as a courtroom. He said the space was not suitable for use as a courtroom. The four functional courtrooms in the building, which can function as district and superior courtrooms, are on the top floor ofthe existing building. Mrs. McCall said she did not want the perception that courtrooms were being constructed that would only be used occasionally. Commissioner Andreotta asked how many days the four functioning courtrooms sit unused. The answer for May was six days, and Mr. Commissioner Andreotta discussed the "non-courtroom" problems in the 95 courthouse. A shortage of space exists for the District Attorney, Clerk of Court, and other staff. Mr. Andreotta said the District Attorney was currently taking victim and witness statements in little more thana a public hallway. Mr. Ray said the space is disjointed at best, lacking continuity ofthe workflow in the building. He said at one time, the District Attorney'soffice was scattered throughout all three floors of the building. He said the DA's office was already out of space, and more employees Mr. Ray said when speaking to citizens who have recently lost a loved one, they must speak with them in a small public lobby through two small windows. Conference space is needed to allow  option.  Ray added that those days would often be backfilled with something else.  were needed.  stafft to speak privately with citizens.  Approved: June 3, 2024    May 6, 2024  36  There was discussion about a slidei included in the presentation that eliminated the two courtrooms on the second floor of the 95 courthouse. Chris Todd informed the Board that the slide featured a scenario where all courtrooms would be in the new court tower, and all office space would be shifted to the 95 building. Mr. Edney said this would be the ultimate goal, even though it may not  occur for several years.  Mr. Mitchell explained each of the options presented to offer clarity to the Board.  Vice-Chair Edney asked ifthe architect had a recommendation about the four- or five-floor option. Mr. Todd said that the staff had asked that question, and an analysis was completed on the space requirements, which was the base study from which staff has operated. The study set the original number of courtrooms and square footage needed for each of the uses in the building. In working with the architects, staff attempted to maximize the space available and provide the Board with options to bring a cost reduction to the project. It was not exactly within the original direction of the study, but it was the direction of the Board to find ways to reduce the price from $215m to a number that is more tolerable to the Board. Mr. Todd said there was a solution sitting in option two which was the reduction ofa floor oft the building. Ifthe floor is reduced, it is the only place where there would be a significant reduction in the potential square footage of this project. Everything else remains constant other than the reduction ofai floor. Ifthat floor is reduced, there will be a loss oft two courtrooms in the original programming. Those courtrooms were maintained in the "light touch" in the 95, which accomplished the Board's goal ofdoing less work and finding substantial cost savings. Ifsome of the space in the new tower was utilized for offices, that would provide the opportunity because four courtrooms have been preserved in the 95 tol have a number that is sustainable and close to the study requirement. Suppose the five-story tower of just under 100,000 square feet is reduced by approximately 20,000 square feet worth of space. The net loss would be accomplished; the programming reduction to achieve significant cost savings would be two courtrooms. Mr. Edney said that did not have to be done to accomplish the savings. There could be five stories, shell out the fifth, and not use the courtrooms in the 95 and still be within a budget that would not require a tax increase. Mrs. McCall noted that converting the two courtrooms in the 95, as Edney proposed, would create additional costs in the "light touch"ofthe 95. Edney said those costs would be minimal. Mr. Todd clarified that the "light touch" requires leaving the court spaces. Commissioner Lapsley said ift the fifth floor is constructed and "shelled out," the county would spend $8.6m for an empty space. Mr. Edney said spending $8.6m now There was additional discussion regarding the four or five-story addition. Mr. Lapsley asked if the Board could decide later in the project on the four or five-story option. Mr. Todd said the building and the systems must be designed for one or the other or potentially "over-designed." However, one ofthe tasksofthe CMR was to complete pricing checkpoints throughout this project. One thing that could be done at the end of the DD phase for the courts is to work with the architecture team and the contractor to do aj pricing activity that shows the difference at that time. Mrs. McCall asked at what point, using the pricing checkpoints, would be the cut-off point for the Board to make a decision. Mr. Todd said that going all the way through the construction documents for both would add about six weeks to the drawing phase of the project. Both can be done. Just know that it takes more time. The cost for this would be approximately $460,000. Fentress Architect Steve White said the design and development, ifs started immediately, would be finished around the first of 2025, and that would be the point at which the Board would have to  could save $50m twenty years from now.  Approved: June 3, 2024    May 6, 2024  37  make its decision. The cost would be 20%- 30% ofthe $460,000.  Commissioner Lapsley said this project, even at the reduced scope, looking at option two as the lowest of the numbers, $158m, is close to 2.7 times more than what was the largest capital project (Hendersonville High School) in our county'sh history, and it was not to be taken lightly. While he knew the need was there, he believed it to be the obligation of the Board to complete the project Commissioner Lapsley made the motion to approve proceeding with option lwo, which included Vice-Chair Edney did not support the motion and felt that "building to a budget" would not meet the long-term needs of the county and its citizens. He believed it was imperative to separate courtrooms and office space. He said this was due to how things work in the court structure, the clerk'soffice, register ofc deeds, and tax office. To get to nine courtrooms, where the professionals say we: need to be, ist to do what Gaston County did and "shell-in"t the top: floor. He said this would mean spending a little more now to save a whole lot of money later. He said he would counter with a motion at the appropriate time to proceed with option three to put all courtrooms in the Commissioner Hill found none oft the options appealing at the project costs presented. With today's economy, he said he could not in good conscience lay $150, $155, $170, or $180 million on the Commissioner Andreotta said, "In the 1970s, we were largely in a place in the part where we are now. We had "stagflation,' , a layer worse than inflation. The response in the 1970s was two-fold; itv was painful, but over time, it worked. Interest rates were raised, and they stopped printing money. In 2024, interest rates have been raised significantly; the problem is that money is still being printed. So now no one knows what to predict because there is no history to look back on". While Mr. Andreotta understood the views from the standpoint of the architect and the people Mr. Andreotta said, "What would happen in three to four years ifGlen Marlow and Rugby Middle School, for example, both need to be greatly expanded? Oranews school needed tol be constructed. Would the county be able to do that, or would there be a tax increase?" Commissioner Lapsley stated that the County had the borrowing power, but there was no question in his mind that taxes would have to be increased. Mr. Andreotta said, "It isn't the borrowing; it'st the paying back." He said, "If the Board decided to proceed with any of the options presented, then the Board would need to dive in and make many people unhappy. The Board would have to learn how to say no, not just for this year but for years to come." Ifhe were to support any oft the options, it would be option two only. He would support option two without the inclusion of the judge's garage. In Chairman McCall said her initial request was to find thirty million, and she appreciated that more than thirty million was found. She said that in the county's history, any time a project was undertaken that she could recall, it always seemed to be undersized. The schools are a perfect example of that. She said Upward Elementary was undersized the day it first opened. "She understands why that was done because the board members who sat in these seats were concerned about spending the taxpayer's money and making sure they got the most value for the dollar." She said schools would need expansion in the future, and there was a great need for expanded  at the best possible price to accomplish the goals and needs. fully deleting levelj five at a total projectcost of158.3 million dollars.  tower.  county'staxpayers.
