I 1 Chair Jacobs pointed out that the library kiosk illustration is at the Commissioners' 2 places. 3 Commissioner Price asked about Life Safety /ADA project. She asked if the designation 4 of a fire alarm system means that this is when it is due to be fixed or if it is in need now. 5 Paul Laughton said the replacement would happen during that year, and this is just the 6 program based on need and life expectancy. 7 Chair Jacobs suggested walking through the CIP and allowing the Commissioners to 8 ask questions about specific projects. 9 Paul Laughton said he can go through the major projects or entertain specific questions. 10 Michael Talbert said there is an attachment of current year projects and these are the 11 most important. 12 Chair Jacobs suggested starting with current year projects. 13 14 County Capital Projects 2014 -15 15 Paul Laughton said this is included in attachment A of the abstract. He said the Year 1 16 CIP is the only funding that is being approved by the Board. He said the other years are only a 17 concept plan or guide. 18 Paul Laughton referred to attachment 1 on County Capital Projects for 2014 -15, 19 which totals $5.3 million. He reviewed the following projects: 20 21 Cedar Grove Community Center — includes $2,000,000 in Year 1 (FY 2014 -15) for 22 construction and adaptive reuse of the former Northern Human Services Center. Final Board 23 decisions regarding use or disposition of the classroom wings will determine the finalized 24 design and cost estimates for the project. 25 26 Southern Orange Campus (Future Planning) — Design services of $400,000 are 27 included in Year 1 (FY 2014 -15), with site development infrastructure work of $3,600,000 in 28 Year 2 (FY 2015 -16) for campus buildings not associated with the existing Southern Human 29 Services Center (SHSC). Expansion of the existing SHSC is included in a separate CIP project. 30 31 Paul Laughton said the Southern Orange Future Planning is outlined on page 22 in the 32 CIP document. 33 Chair Jacobs said there has been some discussion about the Seymour Center and the 34 parking area being at capacity. He asked if there is any proposed plan in relation to this. 35 Michael Talbert said the Seymour Center is at capacity, and there are people parking on 36 the grass and in the street. He said there is very little that can be done to improve that site until 37 the SUP has been approved by the Town of Chapel Hill. 38 Jeff Thompson said Chapel Hill is planning on reviewing the SUP modification plan in 39 June, subject to approval by the advisory boards and Planning Board in May. He said if this 40 goes according to schedule, staff will go into utilization planning for the site. He said this is part 41 of that $400,000 42 Chair Jacobs asked how staff would propose funding a potential expansion of the 43 Seymour Center. 44 Michael Talbert said the logical place to expand the Seymour Center is toward the road. 45 He said it will be hard to design this until it goes through this next process. He said part of the 46 infrastructure in year 2 is to redesign the roadway. 47 Chair Jacobs said presumably staff is going to make a cost estimate of what will be 48 needed for whatever expansion is recommended. He asked if staff is working on this estimate 49 yet.
