eleven year pay back and the same control can be gained on each floor with thermal units. Jerry Vessello noted if a change like the HVAC system is not done now it will impact the occupants for the life of the building. Billy Wasson said staff will prepare a comparative analysis between alternative #1 and #2 then bring it to the CAC for review. 4. Recommendation to Boards IActionl Room for Growth Maynard Hammer said he wants to be sure there is room for growth on each floor. Leonard Lodder noted the design allows room for compaction and growth on each floor and there is room on the fifth floor. R.G. Andersen-Wyckoff noted the Transit District has estimated their growth space for fifteen to finrenty years. Underctround PluQs Maynard Hammer said he wants to make sure there are underground plugs in case the water rises. Transit Mall Gatinq - R.G. Andersen-Wyckoff said the Transit District sub-committee will meet in the next few days to review pros and cons from peer contacts at Tri-Met and Lane Transit District. After the sub-committee report the Board of Directors will make a policy decision. Maynard Hammer said he is ready to move ahead and wants to see the results of the value engineering (VE) and address the HVAC question. Recycled Materials Carl Beach said he is concerned about the re-usable material. He believes it is all right as long as the cost remains within a reasonable limit for non-recycled materials. Paying a lot more for re-cycled materials does not seem like a good use of public funds. Billy Wasson said the Solid Waste Department and Board of Commissioners discussed the balance between cost effective and re-using recycled material value. The Solid Waste Department has hired a consultant to work with the architectural firm to review materials and specifications. The consultant is also working on a green building concept for the project. It may qualify as a national green building pilot project. Mr. Wasson said his personal concern is that the recycled material portion not become complex and slow the project or add to the cost of the project. The consultant is researching those two issues. The current understanding is if costs are increased by using the re-cycled materials it will become an issue befinreen Solid Waste and the Commissioners. The Solid Waste Department is expected to pay the cost difference for recycled materials. The Solid Waste Department wants to show in their office space that they maximized the use of recycled materials. This shows the community it is a good value and they live the value. Jerry Vessello suggested using the recycled materials in the common spaces of the lobby. This is a more visible demonstration than using them in the Solid Waste private office space.
