Wayne Fenton referred to slide 3 and said the gross square footage is the exterior measurement of the building, so it is not all useable space. He said this report focuses on what can be assigned to departments for their use. Commissioner Dorosin asked how a building can be stressed and underutilized. Wayne Fenton said stressed means the building is fully depreciated and has improvements that exceed its value. He said the underutilized status means the number of people for the square footage is lower than it would ideally be if the renovations were done. Commissioner McKee said the current occupants of the Environment and Agriculture Center (EAC) are happy with their location and would like to remain there. He said if the building is underutilized, then more people need to be put in the space, rather than writing it off. Wayne Fenton said the HVAC improvements are required, and the entire system has aged out. Commissioner Gordon asked what space in the EAC building would be converted to storage if occupants stay there. Wayne Fenton said the goldenrod colored area on the blueprint is the current conditioned storage. He said if the status quo option is followed, this would be left as is. Commissioner Dorosin said the suggestion was about turning the whole space into conditioned storage. Commissioner Gordon said if the EAC is underutilized, it can either be used for more storage or more people.
