ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. 9- ~ <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: May 6, 1998 <br />SUBJECT: Lease renewal; 103 Laurel Ave, Carrboro <br />DEPARTMENT: PURCHASING AND Public Hearing: No <br />CENTRAL SERVICES Budget Amendment Reqd? No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />Renewal <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />PAM JONES, ext. 2650 <br />Telephone Number- <br />Hillsborough 732-8181 <br />Chapel Hill 967-9251 <br />Mebane 227-2031 <br />Durham 688-7331 <br />PURPOSE: To consider renewing a lease for property at 103 Laurel Avenue, Carrboro. <br />BACKGROUND: The County has leased this building since 1987. It is presently <br />occupied by the following departments: <br />• Public Defender <br />• Probation and Parole (County responsibility) <br />• Community Services (Court function) <br />• Guardian Ad Litem (Court function) <br />• Juvenile Court Counselor (Court function) <br />Until recently, Housing and Community Development maintained two offices there as <br />well. They have relocated to the recently completed Southern Human Services Center <br />on Homestead Road. <br />Due to the growth in Court related offices, the building has become overcrowded and <br />can no longer accommodate all of the functions necessary. For this purpose, it is <br />recommended that the Public Defender's office be relocated to space recently vacated <br />by the Health Department at Carr Mill Mall. <br />Contingent upon approval by the Board, the County would lease approximately 1,236 <br />square feet of space in the 103 Laurel Ave. property to house the State supported <br />Chapel Hill/Carrboro area intensive Probation and Parole teams. The State would pay <br />the County $17,922 per year for this space. This proposal is more fully explained in a <br />related abstract regarding lease renewal at Carr Mill Mall. <br />
