Commissioner Gordon said that she would like to see these funds accelerated. The reason being that land is going fast and she feels the program needs to be progressing at a fast pace. The County has a wonderful program and the County Commissioners have indicated that this is something that is important to all of them. Ken Chavious said that one of the reasons far accelerating the sale of the bands is that if we find land we want to purchase, we would have the funds available to purchase it. There is some flexibility if we do run across an opportunity and the money is in the bank. However, the County could use other funds and then repay that money with bond money when bonds are sold. Chair Jacobs said that he would like to look at all the projects to see what we can begin a year later which will save debt service payments far the coming year. Regarding conservation easements, even though we have had people approach the County to provide conservation easements, there may be other monies like grant money to purchase conservation easements. John Link made reference to capital delays as listed on the yellow sheet distributed tonight. He said that the County will delay its projects equivalent to two thirds of the dollar amounts and the schools are expected to delay their projects equivalent to one third of the dollar amounts for the delayed projects. The County Commissioners agreed with this plan. Commissioner Halkiatis asked that this be communicated to the two school systems. The County Commissioners agreed that they did not finish their discussion on Lands Legacy and that they will come back to this item. Chair Jacobs asked that the County Commissioners give specific suggestions on what should be funded next fiscal year and what should be delayed. Jahn Link said that he will provide a list of all County projects that are scheduled to be funded next fiscal year and the source of funding for each project. Commissioner Brown made reference to the Southern Human Services Center and the pay- as-you-go funds and said that these funds will be used to renovate the middle section of the building and provide a generator. 12. Justice Facility 13. Government Services Center Addition John Link said that both of these items are future projects and have already been moved forward. Commissioner Halkiotis asked to have a discussion on the justice facilities project at a future meeting. He does not think we need to make the buildings so large for all the non-departments. He thinks that argument could be made for moving ahead with Phase I and to move slower with the other phases. He is not sure we need to bring in all these other agencies because he is not sure that is what is wanted or needed. It was decided that this topic would be placed on an upcoming work session agenda. Commissioner Brown made reference to the justice facility and asked how the timeframe for this facility was determined. She thought after the courtroom was finished, it was more a matter for consolidation of court services than for any other reason. John Link said that County staff has been working on justice facility planning since 1993. The consultants included all the court services and that is why we have such large structures. The judges said that they had to have a courtroom and F. Gordon Battle Courtroom was built. After that we engaged another justice facility project and realized that it would have to be done in stages, in terms of money and in terms of priorities. We are trying to respond to the judges and to the Clerk of Courts. Pam Jones said that part of the 1995 study included the replacement of the jail. The jail has never been considered as part of the court expansion. The courts have managed the building really well since the construction of the Battle courtroom. They are now reaching a point of saturation -not immediately
