14 <br /> 1 Pete Dominico said there are varying levels of definition in a capital plan. He said the <br /> 2 information in front of them is actuarial, and it takes everything into account. He said this <br /> 3 plan did not get down to designer specifics or what originally went into the buildings. He said <br /> 4 this is a general, apples to apples comparison of each building in order to allow for a cost <br /> 5 analysis. He said ECS does not say that the CIP should be based on this. He said there <br /> 6 might have been an error in the Eurosport Parking lot number, or this could be the correct <br /> 7 number to completely replace the parking lot. He said the option of doing maintenance or <br /> 8 spot repairs is not accounted for in these tables. He said these numbers are a very broad <br /> 9 guide to determine which buildings are stressed. <br /> 10 Commissioner Gordon said there are a lot of old buildings in the County which needed <br /> 11 renovations, but she did not expect to see such high dollar requirements for the newer <br /> 12 buildings. <br /> 13 Pete Dominico clarified that the costs listed are to replace items, and there is no <br /> 14 consideration of a simple repair cost. <br /> 15 Commissioner Gordon said she wants to underscore the fact that the programming at <br /> 16 the Southern Human Services Center needs to be examined, and then the appropriate <br /> 17 construction to provide more services there needs to be completed. <br /> 18 Commissioner Pelissier asked if there is a policy for storage that will encourage staff <br /> 19 and will save on the costs of buildings. <br /> 20 Wayne Fenton said this has not been developed yet, but it is one of the items being <br /> 21 discussed, and there is movement in that direction. <br /> 22 Jeff Thompson said there is a converging basket of record retention requirements and <br /> 23 different departments have different time frames. He said this makes it difficult. He said <br /> 24 electronic record retention is supposed to solve some of this, but that also has different <br /> 25 regulations. <br /> 26 Commissioner Pelissier said this was a very useful report, and the analysis was very <br /> 27 helpful for her to see. <br /> 28 Commissioner Pelissier said aging space needs is an area that has not been <br /> 29 addressed. She asked if there are methods to estimate what kind of increased space may be <br /> 30 needed for the aging population. <br /> 31 Jeff Thompson said information was gathered from every department regarding regular <br /> 32 service delivery to the aging population as time goes on. He said this is affecting everyone. He <br /> 33 said conversations have taken place about how to use this expertise to make long range space <br /> 34 plans for the general older population. <br /> 35 Chair Jacobs asked if there is a formula or mechanism for recording all of the different <br /> 36 types of storage needs in order to gain an idea of short and long term needs in each <br /> 37 department. <br /> 38 Jeff Thompson said that mechanism does not exist now, but things are moving in that <br /> 39 direction. <br /> 40 Chair Jacobs asked about the next steps for the Board. <br /> 41 <br /> 42 Jeff Thompson said the next step for the Board is to provide guidance and prioritization, <br /> 43 since this feeds the CIP Process. <br /> 44 Chair Jacobs said the impetus for this study related to a building that was said to be <br /> 45 past its usefulness. He said one conclusion that needs to be made is the Iifespan of that <br /> 46 building, as well as the alternatives for uses. He asked if this will come back for discussion. <br /> 47 Jeff Thompson said the prioritization of a facility depends on the direction of the Board <br /> 48 of County Commissioners. <br /> 49 <br /> 50 4.
