Jim Mason County Representative
Would like input from board on: DSS sites - space not adequate
at old NYSE&G building. Empty Morse Chain building and old Biggs
complex possibilities. DSS not in favor of either. Distance biggest
problem - would have to take bus to get there. Cost another major
factor - 2 options - 1. lease purchase through third party or outright
purchase. Mr. Mason against county buying more buildings and use what
we already have.
Roger Laue - general feeling and consensus - use what we have.
David Bock - is satelite office downtown still in consideration?
Jim Mason - not at this time - office already established.
Dan Winch - why rent when you have more available space at old hospital.
David Bock - what happens to unused space once DSS moves in?

businesses to start. Discussion on costs of options - bottom line -
least costly to county to use old hospital.

to work with Roger Hubbell, David Bock and Larry Stilwell - appreciated
