appropriation of $350,000 in FY 2010-11 to complete the renovations. As stated earlier, there is a <br />need to have all Link Center renovations completed by November 2009. Based on the. two-year <br />spread of pay-as-you-go funding for Link Center, it would not be possible to complete the <br />renovations by November 2009. <br />As a solution, staff recommends the Board authorize a total of $1 million debt financing in fall 2009 <br />to cover costs of replacing the County telephone system ($575,000) and complete Link Center <br />renovations to the extent funding is available ($425,000). Debt capacity calculations presented to <br />the Board during 2009-19 CIP discussions have anticipated financing of $1 million. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board: <br />1. Approve the use of the Government Services Center Annex for use by the Board of Elections; and <br />2. Officially rename the facility "Board of Elections Offices"; and <br />3. Authorize a total of $1 million debt financing in fall 2009 to cover costs of replacing the County <br />telephone system ($575,000) and complete Link Center renovations ($425,000); and <br />4. Direct Budget staff to bring the following budget amendments and capital project ordinances to the <br />Board at its June 16, 2009 regular meeting: <br />a. Transfer of HAVA grant monies to the Board of Elections Capital Project to the Board; <br />b. County Telephone System Replacement Capital Project funded with $575,000 in debt <br />financing; and <br />c. Link Center Renovations Capital Project funded with $575,000 in County pay-as-you-go <br />monies and $425,000 in debt financing; and <br />5. Authorize the Manager and/or Interim-Manager to execute contracts, contingent upon County <br />Attorney review, to carry out the upfit work as may be required. <br />
