;aL~.~ Mr. Srebo stated that SHAC Clinics have no formal way to interface with OCCHS. Commissioner Willhoit stated that Jaint Orange Chatham Community Action, who leases the Mufti=Purposes Center did have a critical space need and the question had arose as to whether or not SHAC Clinics was a legitimate use of the space, since they only operate one night a week. Commissioner Willhoit asked Dr. Willis, a member of the JOCCA Board to speak to the matter. Dr. T9illis stated SHAC Clinics serves a la~*ge area and is unique in its service. SHAC Clinics does provide valuable matching funds to JOCCA to enable them to get federal grants by which to _ operate. Dr. Willis suggested that instead of just looking at the clinics' proposed renovation, that the Board look at the entire Multi-purpose Center. She stated that JOCCA was in dire need of additional staff space for the many programs which are provided. She added she did not want to speak against th'e SHAC Program, as it is a valuable one, however, she wondered if SHAG could conceivably operate out of the Comprehensive Health Service building or out of the Chapel Hi11 Office of the Health Department. She suggested that some of the examination rooms used by SHAG be used as multi- purpose rooms by JOCCA. Dr. Willis concluded by stating that should a trailor be located on the site, this would provide some relief in the need for office space. Mr. Srebo stated that he had talked with OCCHS regarding the possib- ility of locating in that location. The medical personnel were responsive to the idea, while the dental personner were not. Mr. Srebo has not talked with administrative persons from the Health Department:' He stated he was interested in talking with JOCCA Staff and Board to attempt to work out a solution to the space needs. It was pointed out that whether the Multi-purpose Building is renov- aced or whether a new structure is required, both would be a good ways off. Commissioner Gustaveson suggested that a follow up on some interim option be initiated to make the building safer and to provide more space. The agenda attachment stated that an engineering analysis of the - building was in progress and a written report would be forthcoming by mid May. The consensus of the Board was to review this item again at the May 16th meeting, after the engineering analysis is received, which will deter- mine whether or not the structure is worth spending monies for renovation. Chairman Whitted reminded the Board that some proper recognition to the Stroud Family should be made for their donation of the Northside School Complex. He asked that members of the Board think about this and to in- elude this item as part of the discussion at the May lfith meeting. The County Attorney pointed out that the leases for JOCCA and the Cedar Grove School building are now subject to be renegotiated. item 7: The Manager recommends the Commissioners grant a sixty (60) day extension of time for completion of work to the various contractors involved in renovation of the Northside School Project. The County Manager informed the Board that the delay was caused due to a shipment of windows- for Change Order #1 not arriving on time. Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner Gustaveson it was moved and adopted to accept the Manager's recommendation to grant a sixty day extension of time for completion of work an the Northside School Project. Commissioner Gustaveson asked that a representative from the JOCCA Board be present at the May 16th meeting to be involved in the Northside discussion and that the Board move at this next meeting to start making plans for the dedication of the Northside Complex. Ttem 8: The Director of Social Services informed the Board he was requesting approval of an additional Social Worker 2 who would work mainly in the Health Department to determine eligibility for financial assistance in family planning clinics. The agenda attachment stated that a signifi- cant portion of the cost of this position would be chargeable to Title XX funds. Sufficient Title XX funds are available to implement this position
