Minutes of June 15, 1994 Page 3 bad shape, but the Franklin Building is in good shape for the age of the building. The apartments in the Senator Building were discussed. The Health Department's space has pillars in the middle of the office and the building does not meet the health code for air. The Health Building won a national award for design, however was not energy-efficient. The Courthouse is not energy-efficient. If all facilities were as efficient as the Jail the County would save a million. Some savings are harder. It was stated that the other "things" should not given up in order to make the building enerqy-efficient. Chairman Skirvin was not able to talk to Corrections to get their input on the facility. Lt.

It was mentioned that if SPD doesn't move from the City Center, then the City of Salem offices will have to look elsewhere. For justification you can say how much it would cost if the space had to be rented. SPD doesn't pay utilities and rent to the City of Salem.
