Northern Human Services Center Task Force Future Use Plan Report to the Board of County Commissioners June 2001 Charge In November 1999, the Orange County Board of Commissioners created the Northern Human Services Center Task Force. The charge of the task force is to identify the needs and develop a long -range plan for the Northern Human Services Center and the adjacent property owned by the County. Long -Range Plan The long -range plan for the Northern Human Services Center shall include, but not be limited to, the following: 1. Review past Capital Investments Plans and reports requesting improvements for the Northern Human Services Center. 2. Identify the specific needs of agencies occupying the building. 3. Prioritize the CIP needs for the building and adjacent property. 4. Assess the current and potential uses of the building to determine the possible impacts of those uses on the existing waste treatment system. 5. Evaluate the location of the park and ride lot and possible impacts on client parking for the building and future park. 6. Review the status of all easements on the property. 7. Review recreational programs at the Center to ensure the future park design will include existing programs and possibly expand active and low- impact recreational activities for the area. Background Since 1999, the task force chaired by Commissioners Stephen Halkiotis and Margaret Brown, and staff has met to assess the facility, adjacent property and available programming. Because many of the discussions to date have focused on possible land acquisitions, citizens from the community have not been involved in this phase of the planning process.
