He said this report focuses on what 24 can be assigned to departments for their use. 25 Commissioner Dorosin asked how a building can be stressed and underutilized. 26 Wayne Fenton said stressed means the building is fully depreciated and has improvements 27 that exceed its value. He said the underutilized status means the number of people for the 28 square footage is lower than it would ideally be if the renovations were done. 29 Commissioner McKee said the current occupants of the Environment and Agriculture 30 Center (EAC) are happy with their location and would like to remain there. He said if the 31 building is underutilized, then more people need to be put in the space, rather than writing it off. 32 Wayne Fenton said the HVAC improvements are required, and the entire system has 33 aged out. 34 Commissioner Gordon asked what space in the EAC building would be converted to 35 storage if occupants stay there. 36 Wayne Fenton said the goldenrod colored area on the blueprint is the current 37 conditioned storage. He said if the status quo option is followed, this would be left as is. 38 Commissioner Dorosin said the suggestion was about turning the whole space into 39 conditioned storage. 40 Commissioner Gordon said if the EAC is underutilized, it can either be used for more 41 storage or more people. 42 Wayne Fenton said there are currently offices being informally used for storage in 43 addition to the conditioned storage. He said more people could be put in that space. 44 Commissioner Gordon said this means that some of the designated department spaces 45 on the design are not occupied. 46 Wayne Fenton said there are some spaces that are not occupied, and there are some 47 that are larger than needed. 48 Commissioner Gordon asked if staff would recommend converting unoccupied offices to 49 conditioned storage. 50 Wayne Fenton said there are a number of options that could be pursued.
