Mr Wasson and <br />Mr Whittington have worked hard to assist us in our task. At this <br />time, SPOC is not prepared to issue a final report concern~ng <br />whether the project should or should not go forward. However, <br />SPOC has made these preli~inary findings and other determinations: <br />1. Al1 SPOC reports will be presented in writing. This is <br />the first such report. <br />2. At this time, SPOC is not convinced that the Courthouse <br />Square project should be terminated. And because SPOC needs <br />additional information, it is not convinced that the project should <br />go f orward . <br />3. The county needs additional otfice space, in part because <br />af the needs of the Circuit Court. Consolidation of county office <br />space in one location would create some efficienciES, although no <br />effort has been made by the county to quantify such efficiencies <br />monetarily or otherwise. <br />4. SPOC has not considered whether any other existing <br />faciiity is appropriate for consolidation of county offices. <br />5. Transit has received notice from the City of Salem to <br />remove its bus exchange from the current High Street location. <br />1 <br />
