Chair Jacobs asked if David Stancil will have a recommendation on how to spend the Lands Legacy <br />monies in terms of a capital investment plan. David Stancil said that he could provide this information. <br />The Board talked about sending a standard "thank you" to the jurisdictions for their letters <br />Justice Facilities: <br />John Link said that the staff needs clarification of the assumptions that were made in the <br />memorandum and also clarification of change to the timeline that is assumed. <br />Purchasing and Central Services Director Pam Jones spoke about the assumptions. The <br />assumptions are that the justice facilities downtown would be developed only to the extent that a parking <br />deck would not be needed, the Sheriff's office will remain intact, and the Government Services building will <br />not be expanded (if at all, it would include only surface parking}. The architect selection process could be <br />delayed by six months which means that expenditure of planning funds would not be required until 2003- <br />2004. If the Sheriff's office is put in the justice facilities building, it is going to take about half of the space and <br />will minimize what can be done in phase I for the courts. The Sheriff is not opposed to adding on to his <br />existing building. The decision points are to confirm the assumptions, define the acceptable time table, and <br />state interest in leaving the Sheriff's Department at its present location and expanding the existing building. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis said that he is concerned about the potential reuse of the Sheriff's <br />Department. He is puzzled as to why this came up so late in the process. Pam Jones said that since the <br />Government Services expansion was pulled off, it leaves them with the issue of what to do with the building. <br />He said that the County Commissioners have not had a discussion with what functions would be at the <br />Government Services Center if it were expanded and where to put all of the vehicles. <br />Commissioner Brown would like to postpone this for a period of time and regroup to get some more <br />ideas about it. She said that everybody has worked on this project and what would be included except for <br />her. She wonders if we would want to take into consideration possibly combining some of the mental health <br />issues with the court system. In the future, she feels we will not be looking at a conventional project. <br />Commissioner Gordon asked how the addition to the Sheriff's building would be financed. Pam Jones <br />said that this is an option to look at on reuse of the building. If the County Commissioners express an <br />interest, the staff will come back with a financing plan. <br />Chair Jacobs said that at this point we are not aware of everything that was included in phase I. None <br />of the County Commissioners thought that the Sheriff's building would be expanded. He has no problem with <br />the operating assumptions, but he thinks we need to look at the timing. He said that there is still an interest <br />with the justice facilities in the old post office in downtown Chapel Hill. <br />Commissioner Carey said that we should agree with the assumptions outlined by Pam Jones. He <br />asked how much of the $500,000 would be saved if they decided to start the process in January instead of <br />August. Pam Jones said that the entire $500,000 would be pushed to the next fiscal year. <br />Commissioner Gordon said that we should decide what we need to do this year (i.e., justice facilities <br />phase I} and push the other items forward to next fiscal year. <br />Chair Jacobs said that the alternative would be to add a fourth assumption that reflects that by not <br />expanding the GSC beyond the surface parking capacity, it leaves us with pending decisions about other <br />departments that the space needs study identified as possibly relocating to the GSC site. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Carey to adjourn the <br />meeting at 10:13 p.m. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />
