COW ISSIiONER BOWMAN: I
COMMISSIONER STUART: I'LLsector?
MR. BROWN: Or whether it
could be done by the private sector.
CWI SSIONER BOWMAN:
Commissioner Stuart, I think you meant putting
it on the List for consideration, and not on
the closure List, right?
COMMISSIONER STUART: Beg your
pardon?
CCISSIONER ROMAN : I think
I heard you say "putting it on the closure
List, wand what you really meant was putting
it on the List for consideration.
CONMISSIONER STUART: Yes.
You are better than the general counsel on my
Left.
CWMISSIONER OWMAN: She's
awfully sharp.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: There's a
motion on the floor with respect to putting
Giltem on the review List for consideration.
It was seconded. Is there any further
discussion?
COMMISSIONER BYRON: Let me
ask one clarification point. Ed, does FEMA
currently own property, or do they do all of
their storage and work out of all DO)
faci tLi ties?
MR. BROWN: I do not know the
answer to that question, Commissioner Byron.
COMMISSIONER MCPHERSCN: Let
me ask what I guess would be a prudential
question of the staff and of fellow
commissioners. We're going to be adding a lot
of stuff here today, and we have already got a
Lot to look at. My question is, is this big
enough and serious enough to take up a day of
travel and staff and a commissioner to go look
at? Is this a significant deaL to close
Gille, if we did vote to close it and put it
elsewhere, or do we have other and more
pressing requirements for our time?
COMMISSIONER BOWMAN: The base
operating cost at Fort Gillem that are shown
on chart 23-R is $16 million a year. The
question that you asked, Commissioner
McPherson, I think is a question where a
subjective answer would be required, and I
think that's one of the things that we can
provide you the data, and then we let you
provide your own judgement.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: lt's a
terrific question, but I suppose if we didn't
put anything else on the list for the rest of
the day, we would have one opinion, and i f we
put a whole Lot on the List for compelling
reasons, we my have a different conclusion.
COMIiSSIONER MCPHERSON: Then
I would amend the motion, if counsel will
forgive my stumbling, that we defer action on
this unrtil the end of the day and put this in
a category of facilities for Later
cons iderat ion.
CHAIN RMAN COURTER: There' s a
motion to cabl. is there a second to the
motion to table?i i
second the motion to table.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: We have a
motion to table, which is called and voted on
before the original motion. And we'Ll start
with Commissioner Bob Stuart on the motion to
table.
COMMISSIONER STUART: Aye.
COMrI SS I OWNER BYRON : Aye.
GEM JOHNSON: No.
CHAIRMAN COUNTER: Aye.
COMM SSIONER MCPHERSON: Aye.
COMMISSIONER COX: Aye.
COMMISSIONER ROMAN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: That
subsumes, I guess, the original motion, so it
is tabled until later in the day.
Let's proceed.
MR. BROWN: Chart 28-R and the
accompanying map, chart 28-L, pertains to the
Marcus Hook U.S. Army Reserve Center.
Congressman Weldon has asked the Commission to
take action to close Marcus Hook so that the
property can revert to the Local cinanity.
The community has been trying to do this for
many years. The major tenant is detachment 1
of the 49th Transportation Company.
It has a unique mission, and
only two other Like units are in the Army.
The action is below the thresholds of Section
2687 of Title 10. The position of the Chief
of the Army Reserve has not changed since
1991, when the Commission considered but took
no action on an identical request.
We are prepared to answer yoL
questions, Mr. Chairman, concerning this priouw
to any motion.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: Do you have
a chart showing the facilities left at Marcus
Hook?
MR. BROWN: l do not.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: And this is
a community request?
MR. BROWN: It is a request
from the community. I t has been a request for
many years.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: And what is
the official response, always, from the Army?
MR. BROWN: The official
response is shorn on the chart that the
location of the detachment is essential to
maintain the viability of the unit.
Preliminary searches for available replacement
property reveal that relocation has the
potential to be costly. Land not required by
the unit has previously been excessed and
returned to the community, and there is a
significant upgrade in one piece of equipment
during this fiscal year.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: This is
below threshold?
MR. BROWNl: It is betow
threshold.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: I just want
to say, from the standpoint of the
commissioners, then, if we do vote to place it
on our review list, you certainly have every
right and you'LL have every opportunity to go,
bt we' re not duty baurd to go under our own
process, uder our own mandlay. And that, ofW
