Health service move awaits funds
7
Twea area public health services will move into the abandoned wing of Lawrence Memorial Hospital, 352 Maine St., as soon as the hospitals can come up with the remodeling funds.
Lawrence and Douglas County officials met yesterday with officials of the Bert Nash Mental Health Center and the county mental treatment to approve plans for the remodeling.
The plans are to remodel a wing of the hospital, which was abandoned when an addition was constructed on the north side of the building.
Walt Hicks, architect, estimated the present cost of remodeling the facilities at
But because the program is being phased over more than one year, Hicks said, the program will have to be resurrected.
over the original $300,000 because of inflation.
HE SAID the program would have to be phased over more than one year because the city and county do not have funds available now to complete the remodeling.
Marnie Argersinger, mayor, said the city can initially allocate only $100,000 in federal revenue sharing funds. The funds will be allocated in quarterly amounts beginning
But Peter Whitenth, county commission chairman, said the county would not have any funds available until 1979 because the county had been located all revenue sharing funds for 1978.
Whiteneng said that the county commission would report in about two weeks on the amount it could fund and when funds would be available.
Because the county is uncertain when funds will be available, a timetable for the remodeling has not been set, Mike Wildgen, assistant city manager, said.
But it was agreed at the meeting
that the money would be utilized
as it comes in.
The health department will occupy the first floor and the other part of the second floor.
Jan Snyder, administrator of the center, said the 28,000 total square feet on three floors in the new quarters would provide room for growth for both agencies.
Pact wording saves money for taxpayers
Douglas County Commissioners refused yesterday to pay for cost overruns in the tower installation because no provisions had been made for overruns in the contract.
The wording of a construction contract for communications lower has saved taxpayers a lot.
Bert Nash Mental Health Center, now at fourth and Missouri streets, will occupy the third floor and part of the second floor of the remodeled wing.
The contract said the county would pay Motorola Communications and Electronics, Inc., $15,000 for the tower installation under normal soil conditions.
However, Kurt Kalwitz, Motorola representative, said the firm had found rock, water and sand on the tower site. He said the installation costs by almost $4,500.
Both the center and the health department are funded by federal revenue sharing money. The health department is also funded with city and county taxes.
Kalwitz said the county should reimburse the soil company because the soil company is not responsible for the soil company.
BARKLEY CLARK, city commissioner, said the city would provide its share of the fund.
Kalwitz said Motorola would accept the Kalmus commissioners without taking further action.
The tower is part of an Emergency Operations Center, a radio system designed to organize all area communications systems during an emergency.
"It didn't say anything in the contract," extra text warns for hitting rock, water or whatever. "I don't know."

Former SUA vice president now president
Kim Herren, former SUA vice president, will automatically become SUA's president as a result of Thorton Mason's relegation Wednesday.
The SUA board will meet next week to decide whether Heren's former job as vice president will be filled, John Vicomidine, SUA program adviser, said.
"The board might feel they could go along without a vice president." Vicomidine said. "It just depends on what they feel."
