In 1961 the federal government advanced $2,500.00 to be matched with an equal amount of county funds to prepare plans for the Center. Your Civil Defense Committee had pre-preliminary plans prepared which were presented to the Board on August 22, 1961. Since that time your Committee has provided a control center in the basement area of the former Contagious Hospital Building at the County Service Center which can be used for training of civil defense personnel and will also have operational capability in the event of an emergency. This was authorized by the Board on February 6, 1962, by the adoption of Miscellaneous Resolution 3902. Your Committee, after further study, finds that it would not be feasible to locate the permanent Control Center on the site previously set aside for this purpose and described In Resolution 3585, by action of the Board on October 26, 1959. Therefore, a new study is being made as to location of the permanent Control Center at another site, possibly under a future wing of the Court House. Since the present application must be withdrawn pursuant to Section 14.6 of Civil Defense Administrative Manual AM-25-1 and an accounting made to the federal government of funds advanced, your Committee on March 23, 1962, recommended to the Ways and Means Committee that the application Nich.-400-2-61 now pending for federal participation be withdrawn. MR. CHAIRMAN, I offer the following resolution: #3927 BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Auditors and the Civil Defense Director be authorized to take the necessary steps to terminate Application Nich.-400-2-61 for the Control Center and make an accounting and settlement with the federal government to withdraw said project. MR. CHAIRMAN, on behalf of the Civil Defense Committee, and with the concurrence of the Ways and Means Committee, I move the adoption of the fore going resolution. Ma;-garet Firn- CIVIL DEFENSE COMMITTEE TaTi n an RO o Marshall E. Myra-I-. Moved by Fouts supported by Taylor the resolution be adopted. A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the resolution was adopted.
