ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: June 23, 2009 Action Agenda Item No. 3 SUBJECT: Link Center Proposed Renovations DEPARTMENT: Purchasing PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No ATTACHMENT(S): Memorandum from Pam Jones Development Timeline INFORMATION CONTACT: Name, Phone Number Pam Jones (919) 245-2652 PURPOSE: To discuss the Link Center proposed renovations and receive Board input and direction as may be appropriate. BACKGROUND: The Board has previously approved and provided funding for the renovations and remodeling at the Link Center. The work and funding for such is scheduled to occur in two phases. Phase I is limited to the installation of a sprinkler system in the building and office remodeling for the County Commissioners' administrative offices, County Manager, County Attorney, Human Resources, Financial Services and Budget offices. Completion of this work will allow the Government Services Center-Annex to be reallocated, per Board action on June 2, 2009, to the Board of Elections; and for the Board of Elections to make an orderly transition to their new space in tandem with the November Municipal elections. Phase II completes the renovation of the building and develops a Board Room in which County Commissioner meetings will be held. The room will be designed to employ up-to-date technology, including that needed to provide dissemination of televised meetings to the Public. A suggested development process and timeline for each phase of the work is presented in the attached document. FINANCIAL IMPACT: On June 2, 2009 the Board approved debt financing not to exceed $425,000 to fund Phase I. Pay-As-You-Go funds in the amount of $575,000 are provided in FY 2010-2011 to complete Phase II. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board discuss the information and provide direction to staff as may be appropriate.
