Poochigian on offices
question:
Fresno County has many other construction needs – a new morgue, offices for county departments and an ag, food and safety center – how would you rank these in priority and how would you pay for them?answer:
After fulfilling our primary responsibility of protecting public safety, other facility needs can be considered. Each of the projects mentioned has merits and a constituency that
should be heard. Bearing in mind that we are simply not in a financial position to independently fulfill every worthy construction goal, I would give due consideration to the arguments offered for each competing proposal. There are various factors to consider. These include prioritizing facilities involved in delivery of mandated services,
public health and safety concerns, and the availability of grant monies or funds from sources other than the county’s general fund.
