AUGUST 21, 2000 <br /> <br />Report on Bethel and Ode11 Elementar~ Schools - Kelly Sifford <br /> <br /> Ms. Kelly Sifford, Senior Planner, presented information concerning an <br />evaluation of the Bethel and Odell Elementa=%, Schools and potential reuses of <br />the facilities. The information included educational inadequacies of the two <br />schools, water and sewer availability and estimated renovation costs to reuse <br />the facilities for recreation. She advised that Martin Boal Anthony & <br />Johnson, Architects, had submitted a proposal in the amount of $13,500.00 to <br />make a full assessment of the two school facilities. <br /> <br /> Mr. Clifton recommended that the County not spend any funds at this <br />time to assess the condition of the existing Bethel and Odell facilities. He <br />stated it would be three to five years for the schools to be replaced. <br /> <br /> There was discussion about the potential reuse of the two school <br />properties, the formation of a citizens group in each area to look at <br />potential reuses, the expense of renovating and maintaining the buildings in <br />the future and the value of the property for commercial purposes. <br /> <br /> The Board agreed to consider at its September meeting the formation of <br />community citizen groups to evaluate options for the reuse of the Odell and <br />Bethel Elementary Schools. <br /> <br /> <br />
