The Chairman explained that the purpose of the meeting was to hear a request from Ithe Industrial Education Committee with reference to a proposal for presenting the matter of issuing bonds in the amount of $575,000 as the Countyts portion of the total project to cost ?$8761000. He introduced the Chairman of that Board, Mr. J. D. Wethern, along with Nr. Fred J. Galehouse, Mr. W. Mercer Rowe and Dr. H. A. Eaton and their'Administrator, Mr. Pfialcolm J. McLeod. Chairman Wethern reported that the Board of Trustees had authorized the Committee to ask permission to proceed with plans for the building of a new structure to house the ex- panding Industrial Education Center. They propose to purchase an area in the Urban Renewal Development extending from Front Street to the River from Walnut to Red Cross Street at an es- timated figure oP $207,000 covering the cost of the land and its preparation. The architects ihave included a contingency of $30,000 and an architects' fee of $37,000. Project Cost Estimate ? i 1. Total Project Cost: $876,000.00 2. Anticipated Matching Funds, State and Federal: 301,000.00 N • 3. Additional Funds required: 575,000.00 In discussing this proposition, the Board felt strongly that the cost of the land could be reduced but that at the present time they were unable to determine a lesser figure. The area Irecommended, they feel, is large enough to.expand'as the development of the Center progresses 'to the extent of State support. The estimated cost of $14.00 per square foot takes into account the cost of piling which would have to be used near the river but the bvildino itself would probably not exceed $11.00 per square foot. They requested that an immediate decision be made so that a Public Hearing might be held at the first Board meeting in April. The County Attorney advised that pubiic notice wouid have to be made 10 days prior to the Hearing. After a brief discussion, Mr. Netts offered a motion that the Board authorize the County Attorney to prepare the bond order for the issuance of $575,000 Industrial Edvcation Center bonds to 'be introduced at the earliest possible date but not less than 10 days before the Hearing date. The motion rras seconded by Mr. Mayhan and unanimously approved. ADJOURNMENT - ? No further-business being presented, Mr. 4Mettsofferedd a on that the meeting be adjourned.
