Similarly, the Blackwood Farm has a large amount of money 13 in the second year, and the Board has not discussed this as being a higher priority. He 14 suggested moving the Whitted Building up in the CIP. The Board also needs to discuss 15 whether this should be a meeting space and a potential multi-use space. 10 Commissioner Pelissier said she does not know when the cultural,center would have the 17 funds available for the upf it. If the County is going to upf it it for a meeting space, it might not be 18 done at the same time. 19 Frank Clifton said most of the upgrades would be for the County and the additional 20 items could come in between meeting dates, etc. 21 Commissioner Dorosin made reference to the sewer infrastructure for Rogers Road and 22 it is not in the CIP. He said there is commitment to do this and it ought to be figured in the CIP 23 somewhere. 24 Commissioner Rich asked about the sewer district and if it would be able to borrow 25 money. 26 Frank Clifton said it is probably a year from now before the financing aspect comes up 27 for consideration. 28 Chair Jacobs said he would like to keep a running list of things they may want to put on 29 a bond and this may be one of them. 30 Commissioner Dorosin made reference to the Whitted Building and the Board needs to 31 discuss whether it wants to use it as a meeting space at all or a multi- use space/shared space. 32 There are several options. He said he is not clear that there is a consensus from the Board to 33 use this as a meeting space yet. 34 Chair Jacobs said the Coun1yConnnmisaioneus need to have this conversation sometime 35 during the CIP Process. He said he knows that Commissioner Gordon has objections to it 36 because she thinks the meeting room should be built on the downtown Hillsborough county 37 campus; but he thought the others seemed interested. 38 Commissioner Rich said she feels that the conversation on the Whiffed Building is not 39 complete but there were some real concerns from the neighbors about the kind of functions that 40 would happen. She said the Board needs to have this conversation. She does think it should 41 be used as a multi-use space. 42 Commissioner Gordon said if the Board wants to use this space for meeting space then 43 that is fine; but down on the main campus they are putting in geothermal wells that may prevent 44 them from putting in future facilities. She would like to ask staff not to put any more wells down 45 until there is an updated facility report/study. 46 Jeff Thompson said there is a potential bid award for the project, but there is no 47 commitment yet for construction of geothermal wells. 48 Chair Jacobs asked that there be no construction until the Board has reviewed the 49 facility report/study. 50 Chair Jacobs asked the staff for permutations of where Whitted will go in the CIP.
