<br />
<br />Judge Thomas and Judge Murphey come before the Board requesting space for the
<br />Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court and suggest alternatives, They state that
<br />each judge in Chesterfield handles more cases than any other judge in surrounding
<br />jurisdictions and with the population increasing there will be more cases needing
<br />attention. They suggest that the County build court facilities in the general
<br />vicinity of the Juvenile Detention Home and state further this has the general
<br />approval of most everyone in the judiciary. Mr. Burnett states that he does not
<br />believe that Judge Gates would approve of separating this Court from the rest of
<br />the Courts in this office building and there seems to be some misunderstanding
<br />of the goals and methods to obtain same. Mr. Bob George, Chief Probation Officer,
<br />states briefly that he is experiencing critical space problems to the extent that
<br />probation officers will likely be curtailed for lack of space. It is generally
<br />agreed that the judges meet, confer and report back to the Board the best way of
<br />solving this problem.
<br />
<br />Chief Pittman comes before the Board and states that the Police Department needs
<br />more space, that they are currently experiencing some security problems and
<br />that if the Board continues to expect the Police Department to follow the precept
<br />of the consultant's report that additional space is necessary. Mr. Bookman states
<br />that he does not want to see anymore trailers placed in the Courthouse area, if
<br />possible. Mr. Burnett questions if additional space in the Health Department
<br />might be available, It is generally agreed that there will be further considera-
<br />tion of this problem by the Board which problem includes the request of the Per-
<br />sonnel Director for additional space.
<br />
<br />Mr. Falwell comes before the Board and states that the Communications Study in-
<br />dicated the need for a multi-channel tape recording system for the Police and
<br />Fire Departments. He states that the one proposed will include three devices:
<br />a call check unit, a central recorder and a play-back device. He states that
<br />the cost is approximately $26,000 or it can be rented with the option to purchase
<br />later. Upon consideration of this system and the present financial status of the
<br />County, it is on motion of Mr. Myers, seconded by Mr. Bookman, resolved that bids
<br />be let for a five year lease on a multi-channel tape recording system for the
<br />Police and Fire Departments,
<br />
<br />Ayes: Mr, O'Neill, Mrs. Girone, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Bookman and Mr, Myers.
<br />
<br />Mr. Burnett states that there is a request from the Midlothian Volunteer Fire
<br />Department for the speed on Rt. 60 in the Village of Midlothian to be reduced.
<br />It is generally agreed that this matter would be deferred until the next meeting
<br />for discussion with Mr. Covington.
<br />
<br />Chief Pittman states that in reviewing his request for furniture, he can cut the
<br />following items: three manual typewriters, one security cabinet, 1 magnetic
<br />board, a 36" x 72" conference table, seven folding chairs, five side chairs and
<br />the automatic numbering advance on two time stamp machines.
<br />
<br />Upon consideration of this amended request, ±t is on motion of Mr. Bookman,
<br />seconded by Mr. Myers, resolved that a bid in the amount of $7,274.31 be approved
