September 20, 2010 (Regular Meeting) Page 149 Mr. Downs advised that CM Black has already conducted evaluations and provided some preconstruction /pre- design services, but has not billed the County yet. In response to questions from Commissioner Carruth, Mr. Downs also addressed the responsibilities of a CM at Risk, including preparation of bid packages, qualifying subcontractors, etc. He also addressed issues that could arise if the project bid out by a general contractor. After County Attorney Richard M. Koch addressed the main components of the current contract with CM Black, he stated his preference to discuss the legal aspects of the contract in closed session. After a short discussion, Commissioner Carruth MOVED to retain the professional services of Yates Chreitzberg Hughes Architects (YCH) for the remodeling /renovation of the old Creamery building, the future site of the Board of Elections and authorized the County Manager and County Attorney to execute related documentation; and to table the selection of the Contractor /Construction Manager at Risk to the October work session. Mr. Downs confirmed that he, the County Attorney and the County Manager are to renegotiate the contract with YCH for the new location (old Creamery building). Afterwards, Chairman White advised that CM Black was selected for originally because of their quality workmanship and the Board's desire to employ as many locally -owned business and county residents as possible.

Vice Chairman Poole seconded the motion. In response to Tamara Gaspar's comments during the Informal Comment section of the meeting, Chairman White requested the Clerk to verify the number of available seats on the APPAC. He also requested Ms. Gaspar to provide information to the Clerk regarding the question she raised concerning the number of seats on the APPAC. He advised Jo Henderson has contacted him and expressed a strong desire to serve on the committee. Commissioner Privette advised Mr. Daniels may not be able to serve if convicted in Superior Court. Richard Koch, County Attorney, advised if Mr. Daniels is convicted, it will be for a misdemeanor and should not affect his ability to serve on the committee. Commissioner Privette MOVED to amend the previous motion to withhold Jeff Daniels' appointment until the court decision is rendered. The motion failed for lack of a second. For clarification, Chairman White restated the original motion and advised if there is a change in status that would exclude Mr. Daniels, the Board would need to take the appropriate action at that time. The MOTION carried, with Chairman White, Vice Chairman Poole and Commissioners Carruth and Mynatt voting for and Commissioner Privette voting against.
