Commissioner McKee said the consensus he asked for is simply that the best use is to <br /> maintain the current agencies at the current building, as this is what is best for the agricultural <br /> community. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked if Commissioner McKee wants the idea of moving all <br /> three agencies somewhere else to be taken off the table. <br /> Commissioner McKee said yes, because the agencies and the community are happy <br /> with the current location. He said there are various government agencies involved and if a <br /> move were made to the annex, some of these agencies would go to Durham. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said she feels this should be brought back again. <br /> Chair Jacobs asked if the majority of Board of County Commissioners is comfortable <br /> with leaving the current functions co-located at that site, with recommendations for <br /> permutations to come from staff for consideration in the future. He said this at least gives <br /> some direction. <br /> Chair Jacobs asked if there are plans for expansion for those offices that have extra <br /> unused space, or if the Board should be considering further shifts of departmental space. He <br /> questioned whether some of these buildings should go into the public pool or be dedicated to <br /> some quasi-private function like an incubator. <br /> Jeff Thompson said if staff can get the storage situation right, there will be space for <br /> reasonable and prudent County function expansion. He said if there is still surplus space, this <br /> can go into the pool for economic development. <br /> Chair Jacobs noted that the Board will not have adequate information about storage <br /> when the Cedar Grove item comes back on April 15th. He said this means a decision will be <br /> made without knowledge of the County storage needs that might be met by those wings. He <br /> said there can be discussion of other possibilities, but there will be only one actual proposal in <br /> front of the Board at that time <br /> 3. Presentation of Manager's Recommended FY 2014-19 Capital Investment Plan <br /> (CIP) <br /> Clarence Grier said the CIP commits the County only to the first year of funding for <br /> capital projects and the other years are just used as a planning tool. He said the next fiscal year <br /> includes $22.8 million in projects. <br /> Paul Laughton reviewed the background information for this item. He referenced <br /> the letter from Orange County schools that is included in the packet. He said this addresses <br /> funding requests for year 1 and the facility assessments and needs. He said both school <br /> districts total $330 million in facility assessment needs. <br /> He said the department heads were not asked to speak tonight, as time is limited, and <br /> he noted April 10th and May 15th as dates for future CIP work sessions. He said these will <br /> provide opportunities to outline specific projects. <br /> Paul Laughton reviewed the following PowerPoint presentation: <br /> County Manager's Recommended FY 2014-19 Capital Investment Plan <br /> Presentation <br /> Link Government Services Center, Hillsborough <br /> Orange County, NC <br /> March 11, 2014 <br /> Overview <br /> • 5-Year Capital Investment Plan (CIP) with detailed information in Years 1-5, and <br /> an overall picture in Years 6-10 <br />
