ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No.~h <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: May 6, 1998 <br />SUBJECT: Lease renewal at Carr Mill Mall; space reallocation for court offices at Carr <br />Mill Mall and Moody Building <br />DEPARTMENT: PURCHASING AND Public Hearing: No <br />CENTRAL SERVICES Budaet Amendment Ready No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />PAM JONES, ext. 2650 <br />Carr Mill Lease and renewal <br />Revised floor plan at Carr Mill Mall Telephone Number- <br />Proposed leased area for State at Moody Bldg. Hillsborough 732-8181 <br />Chapel Hill 967-9251 <br />Mebane 227-2031 <br />Durham 688-7331 <br />PURPOSE: To consider renewing the lease at Carr Mill Mall; and to consider re- <br />allocation of approximately 2,700 square feet of space to the Public Defender's office. <br />BACKGROUND: The County anticipated non-renewing this lease upon completion of <br />the Southern Human Services Center (SHSC). However, construction funds were <br />insufficient to build the dental clinic at the SHSC. In addition, the Chapel Hill/Carrboro <br />based court offices have grown in numbers which make it necessary to add space for <br />their function. <br />Following is a brief statement of historical background and a proposal which will <br />hopefully ease the overcrowded conditions which impinge upon the Court's ability to <br />function in their present location. <br />Inception of the Carr Mill lease <br />The County has leased space at Carr Mill Mall for the Health Department clinics since <br />March, 1979. In September, 1979 the County received grant funds from the Robert <br />Wood Johnson Foundation to operate a primary care dental clinic. An additional 1,444 <br />square feet was leased for this purpose. The total amount of square footage leased at <br />this location is 5,580. <br />Dental Clinic space requirements <br />On March 16, 1998, the Health clinic was relocated to the recently completed Southern <br />Human Services Center on Homestead Road. The Board may recall that upon <br />completion of the Southern Human Services Center, it was anticipated that the leased <br />space at Carr Mill Mall would not longer be needed. The Board will further recall <br />however, that insufficient construction funds precluded the construction of the Dental <br />space at the new facility, thereby necessitating that the Clinic maintain it's current <br />location. <br />
