Thus far no conclusions have been reached on the plans which the Civil Defense Committee has heretofore discussed before the Board. A joint meeting of the 3 Committees, that is, the Ways and Means, Buildings and Grounds and Civil Defense Committees, was held on December 11, 1961, and a unanimous resolution was adopted by the 3 Committees to withhold decision on the permanent Control Center until a more definite program as to construction and location of such Centers is promulgated by the Federal Government. In order to provide the County with a Communications Center which would be operational in the event of an emergency and also available for training purposes for Civil Defense employees and volunteers, the Buildings and Grounds and Civil Defense Committees have recommended the adaptation of a 3-room area in the basement of the former Contagious Hospital to an Emergency Operating Center. It is estimated that the cost of the remodeling and construction of this basement area, as well as the cost of providing communication equipment, will amount to approxi- mately $7,500000 and that a portion of this cost may be matchable with the Federal Government. It is recommended: 1. That the plan for this Control Center, as prepared by the Civil Defense Committee and as recommended by the Buildings and Grounds Committee, be approved.
