12 the Communications Center was out of service. Mr. Charles D. McGinnis, County Manager, advised Mr. Phillips that there were federal plans to place an emergency backup system at the stated location; however, he explained that equipment at that location would not totally eliminate the problems which occurred on July 15. After discussion, the Board agreed to seek professional advice to correct any existing problems in order to ensure that such an extensive breakdown of communication service does not reoccur in the future. Chairman Lentz thanked Mr. Phillips for his work on the evening of July 15 and expressed appreciation to all volunteer firemen in the county who worked during the storm. Commissioner Nash stated the need for the designation of an architect for the budgeted 1984-85 projects which included the renovation of the third floor of the County Courthouse, construction of an addition to the Social Services facility for storage of records, and remedial work for the walkways around the Courthouse. He proposed that the Board engage Mr. George Griffin as the architect for these projects and that Mr. Griffin be present at the planned meeting between members of the Board and court officials to discuss renovation possibilities of the third floor. After discussion, the Board indicated that the proposed meeting with the court officials should be held and Mr. Griffin informed of the results of this meeting at a later date. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Nash, seconded by Commissioner Milloway and unanimously carried, the Board moved to employ the services of Mr. George Griffin to design a small addition at the Social Services Department and to provide consultant services for renovation of the Courthouse walkways. Mr. Griffin's fees were set at six percent for all new work with no charge for the remedial work on the walkways.
