and Sheriff' s Patrol Division. In attendance were representatives of
Human Services Advisory Commission, the County Administrator's Office, the
Social Service Department, Sheriff-Coroner' s Department, Emergency Medical
Services, employee organizations and others concerned with either the
proposed project or continued utilization of the building for children's
programs. Representatives of the County Administrator' s Office explained
the report of the County Administrator and noted that Phase I would involve
a reloaction of Emergency Services and the Sheriff' s Dispatch Center to two
sections of the former Children' s Shelter Building. Phase II would then
involve relocation of Sheriff ' s Patrol and Investigations Divisions to the
remaining section of the building and include a building addition and
parking for Sheriff' s Patrol vehicles. The requirements of the Sheriff' s
Department, Emergency Services and Emergency Medical Services were all

Representatives of the Human Services Advisory Commission and Social
Service Department expressed the view that the building should be
retained for children' s programs. They indicated that a revised
program proposal is being developed under which the facility would
be leased to a private contractor providing children' s services.
Committee Chairwoman Supervisor Sunne McPeak expressed support for
a compromise proposal under which the existing building at 50 Glacier
Drive would be remodeled as the Emergency Operating Center and a
building addition of 4, 000 square feet provided to accommodate
Sheriff' s Dispatch so that these two operations are fully integrated.
Staff was requested to review this proposal, the contract proposal for
use of the Children's Shelter Buildings now being developed, and to
submit cost information on alternative proposals for further review
by the committee at a meeting of the committee to be held next Monday
at 9 : 30 a.m.
