state providing 90 percent of the funding and Orange County providing a 10 percent <br /> match, or $4,329. <br /> Chair Jacobs asked the Manager if we inquired as to whether or not we could <br /> lease with the option to buy. John Link said yes and that the answer was that there were <br /> some challenges or issues with the State about purchasing. He referred this question to <br /> Purchasing and Central Services Director Pam Jones. <br /> Pam Jones said that this lease does include a buy out should the County <br /> decide to buy it out and half of the rent would go toward the lease. They also looked at <br /> lease versus purchase of this, and the State was unable to support the actual purchase <br /> of it up front. This is purely a temporary measure at this point. <br /> Commissioner Brown asked about the reference to the relocation of the OPC <br /> Adult Treatment Program. <br /> Pam Jones said that they had sent out a memo faxed a couple of weeks ago <br /> that introduced this as a concept to the Board. When they were trying to put together a <br /> space plan for the Whiffed Building, relocation during the renovation, they were looking <br /> at putting several modular units. It would be very costly to rent four or five of these <br /> modular units to do the clinic. They were able to work with Tom Maynard and have OPC <br /> temporarily relocated over to 501 W. Franklin Street. Whenever the renovation is done <br /> at Whiffed, Adult Day Treatment and Department on Aging would both relocate out of <br /> the bottom floor of Whitted. <br /> A motion was made by Chair Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Gordon to <br /> approve and authorize the Chair to sign the lease of a 2,520-square foot modular unit <br /> from Action Mobile Industries, Inc., in which to relocate the Orange Public Transportation <br /> staff to the Public Works facility on Highway 86N, Hillsborough, with the state providing <br /> 90 percent of the funding and Orange County providing a 10 percent match, or $4,329. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> L Hillsborough Elementary School Renovation Capital Project Ordinance <br /> The Board considered a capital project ordinance for Hillsborough <br /> Elementary School renovations. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said that she has not seen the details for these <br /> renovations. She asked about building 300 and the addition of 100 students. She asked <br /> how many students were on the waiting list and what happens if the demand exceeds <br /> 100. <br /> Donna Dean said that she did not have these figures, but she will bring it <br /> back. <br /> Commissioner Halkiotis said that he thinks there is close to 100 people on the <br /> waiting list and this amount has remained since it opened in 1996. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked what would happen if the demand exceeds 100 <br /> students. Commissioner Halkiotis that there has not been a plan to move the school <br /> anywhere else and no more students would be put there. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked what it costs just to renovate building 300. <br /> Donna Dean said that the contract was not presented in that context but all as one. <br /> Commissioner Gordon would like these figures. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner <br /> Gordon to approve the capital project ordinance for Hillsborough Elementary School <br /> renovations. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 9.
