- Changing the BOCC Regular meeting from December 17, 2013 TO December 10, 2013, and this meeting will be held at the Southern Human Services Center, 2501 Homestead Road, Chapel Hill, N.C. - Changing the location of the February 12, 2013 BOCC work session FROM Southern Human Services Center TO the Link Government Services Center, 200 South Cameron St., Hillsborough Staff is requesting this change because the agenda for the Work Session will include the discussion of four County facilities located in Hillsborough. First, the opportunity to renovate the Whitted Building for a Board Meeting Room/Arts Performance Place. Second, the possibility of a stand-alone BOCC meeting facility at the current Government Services Annex location. Third, the possible relocation of the Board of Elections to the Link Government Services Center. Fourth, planned maintenance and repair expenditures for Fiscal Year 2013/2014 at the Environment and Agriculture Center and alternatives for the highest and best use of the facility. All Board members have not likely seen all of these facilities. Asset Management Services would like to provide the opportunity for a tour of the facilities before the scheduled work session for new or current Board members that would like to see these facilities before the Work Session. Decisions regarding the future uses of these facilities will impact the 2013-18 Capital Investment Plan. - Changing the March 12, 2013 BOCC Work Session FROM Link Government Services Center TO Southern Human Services Center, 2501 Homestead Road, Chapel Hill (since the February 12, 2013 Work Session would be moved from Southern Human Services Center to Link Government Services Center and staff tries to balance the number of meetings between Chapel Hill and Hillsborough). m.
