There was discussion on the idea of adding an <br />additional bathroom and the cost as well as who would be responsible <br />for the upgrade. There was follow up discussion on the costs <br />provided after Mr. Retz obtained an estimate to add the <br />fire/sprinkler suppression system. There was discussion on the <br />proposed amount of rent and whether it was realistic. There was <br />further discussion on expenses Mr. Brown and company are expecting <br />as well as addressing the inquiry on the length of lease and what <br />the County is legally allowed to do and the process. <br /> <br />Mr. Brown expressed concerns regarding the expense and him paying to <br />do the upgrades needed if the County opts to kick them out at the <br />end of a ten year lease. He felt that it may be in their best <br />interest to build their own. He stated that it’s the location that <br />is the attraction. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jewell felt some of the concerns that are pertaining to <br />protecting the Lessee and the County can be addressed in a Lease if <br />this continues to move forward.
