Meeting Notes of Appointments:
• Deb Guilford, Superintendent, Board of DD and Ed Bohn, EMA Director – Commissioner Klopfenstein informed Ms. Guilford that our goal is to have an EMA and EOC (Emergency Operations Center), some storage and a facility to manage EMA. In the process, it occurred to us that there is a gym that is not being used in the Parc Lane building that possibly could be refurbished to meet our needs. We are trying to see if it is practical. Spending $200,000 is much more feasible than spending $700,000 for a new building. That building already has heating and cooling. It would be more feasible to utilize an existing space and have it put to good use. Mr. Bohn commented that ideally we could walk through the door and make things happen. Currently, EMA is all over Paulding. He is in agreement with the Commissioners that the expense of a new facility is not practical when there is existing space that can be utilized. Ms. Guilford responded that the DD Board is currently looking at the heating and cooling at the facility and the gym is no longer being used as a gymnasium. Commissioner Klopfenstein noted that before we do a feasibility study, we would like support from the DD Board. Ms. Guilford informed the Commissioners that her board doesn’t meet again until April 25th. It’s something that I can put on the agenda so they have a better understanding of what you want. Commissioner Zartman added that the feasibility study will give them a lot of answers. Commissioner Klopfenstein noted that from a public stand point, it is a win-win situation.
