OTHER BUSINESS/ADJOURNMENT Chairperson Douglas had asked Dave Ross if his department could give a brief overview of the security system at the County campus. Dave Ross and Dick Johnston were present to give a brief overview of the status of the security system and answer any questions the commissioners may have. After the 911 incident the County had a security consultant, Jefferson Wells, come in to conduct a vulnerability assessment and give its findings back to the County. As a result of that assessment, security cameras were installed in various areas inside and outside the buildings; the mail room was relocated, watchmen make continuous tours of the buildings, boulder barrels were placed up near the front entrances of the buildings and other enhancements were made as well. Facilities Management has been working with Mike Sturm, Emergency Response and Preparedness, on an evacuation plan and bomb plans for all of the bu ildings in the County complex. That program is almost completed. Mr. Johnston indicated that he has all the resources that he would need in the case of an emergency evacuation, including pertinent phone numbers and other documents. Planning & Building Committee Page 3 February 27, 2007 Commissioner Potts expressed his concerns about safety in the elevators near the courtrooms, and as an attorney, he found that it is very difficult to access court staff to get thi ngs signed. He indicated that the building is outdated. Mr. Ross indicated that as funding permits, an extension of the courthouse would be done to accommodate space and safety issues. There being no further business to come before the Commi ttee the meeting adjourned at 10:18 a.m. __________________________________ __________________________________ Pamela L.
