1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: June 18, 2013 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. 5-u <br /> SUBJECT: Space Study Framework <br /> DEPARTMENT: Asset Management Services PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> Suggested Space Study Framework Jeff Thompson, 919-245-2658 <br /> PURPOSE: To receive and approve a suggested framework for iterative, continuous space <br /> study analysis. <br /> BACKGROUND: During the May 21, 2013 regular meeting, the Board of County <br /> Commissioners received the space study update report for review and comment. The Board <br /> suggested that these presented space study initiatives return for the Board's review as part of <br /> the September 12, 2013 work session and be preceded by a formal Space Study Framework for <br /> the Board's comment, guidance and adoption prior to the summer break. <br /> The suggested framework is attached. The framework is founded in the original 2001 <br /> framework and guiding principles as well as the major space study framework update in 2005. <br /> The framework contemplates a continuous study and basis for decision-making, providing <br /> annual status updates to the Board prior to each year's budget process, as well as a major <br /> update every fifth year. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: Should the Board adopt the suggested framework, the Manager's <br /> recommended Capital Investment Plan (CIP) allocates $25,000 in FY2013-14 for third party <br /> physical assessments and space use programming exercises for identified space initiatives <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board receive and approve the <br /> suggested framework for iterative, continuous space study analysis. <br />
