We also reviewed the population projections outlined by the consultants. It seemed logical to use Projection A growths recommended by the consultants. That will provide a practical basis from which to make our recommendations. If it proves to be too low, there will always be the option of renting more space, and if it is too high, the county can rent out the excess. We reviewed the adjacency recommendations in the report. The logic of most of the recommendations seemed sound, but there were two that have still not_been resolved. The Clerk~s office has recently rented space in an outlying area. The impact of this move has not yet been determined. We will assume that until more is known, the Clerk's total operation should return to downtown. Our space recommendations are based on that assumption. The other issue not resolved is the location of the Sheriff. The Court Services of the Sheriff~s department will require 2,968 square feet. it is assumed that the Courts Sub-Committee accommodated this. It is further assumed that the Tri-Agency Sub-Committee accommodated the remaining portion of the Sheriff's operation. A statute that requires the Sheriff to be located in the Courthouse is also assumed to be satisfied. -5-
