ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: November 18, 2010 Action Agenda Item No. SUBJECT: Facilities Use Policy Revisions DEPARTMENT: Asset Management, County PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No Attorney ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: Draft Facilities Use Policy Pam Jones, Asset Management, (919) 245-2652 Annette Moore, Staff Attorne , (919) 245-2317 PURPOSE: To review and comment on revisions to the Gounty's Facilities Use Policy. BACKGROUND: The current Facilities Use Policy has been in use since 1993 and is outdated. The policy has been revised through the efforts of several department directors that regularly interact with the public regarding use of various facilities in the County. It strives to recognize the public purpose uses that could and should be carried on in the facilities over and above regular County operations, while striking a use balance that will not unnecessarily restrict either the public nor the County's use; and will assure the buildings remain viable for as long as possible. Highlights Highlights of the revised Policy include: • All meeting rooms, grounds and parks as listed in the facilities inventory are available for Orange County department use. Departments may also be asked to go through a reservation process for tracking purposes and to avoid scheduling conflicts. • Facilities available for non-County and after hours use include: o Southern Human Services Center o Seymour Senior Center o Animal Services Multi-Purpose Room o Solid Waste Training Room o Skills Development classrooms o Central Orange Senior Center o West Campus Office Building meeting rooms (3) o Library Meeting Room o Link Center Public Meeting Room o Efland Community Center Courtrooms may also be used for specific purposes, such as for annual meetings of recognized political parties
