Consideration was given to both 1) complete removal of the existing facility, and replacement with a new, standalone community building, and 2) <br />removal of portions of the existing building (north and south classroom wings, including main restrooms), with adaptive reuse of remaining portions of the building. Staff <br />met with community representatives on several occasions, and discussed conceptual ideas for site development. The Board received information during their January 24, <br />2012 meeting which allowed for increased specificity in the project development description and consequently, a cost estimate for construction. An additional community <br />meeting was held by County staff at the Northern Center on September 25, 2012 to review the two options, and receive input regarding the preferred option for the <br />community. An update was provided to the Board at their October 25, 2012 work session, including identification of the community preference for option 2 - partial <br />deconstruction , with adaptive reuse of remaining portions of the building. At the November 8, 2012 Board meeting, the Board approved option 2, and authorizd the <br />Manager to engage a professional design firm through a request for qualifications (RFQ) process. Cedar Grove Day Care and Head Start staff vacated the building prior to <br />January 31, 2013. It is anticipated that an agreement for design services will be brought to the Board prior to the end of FY 12 -13, with design work to begin in FY 13 -14. <br />14 <br />
