Jeff Thompson said the current users of the buildings could be relocated elsewhere, and the buildings, or the land, could be used for other purposes. Chair McKee asked if the redevelopment would be done in two stages. Jeff Thompson said it would be a phased process. Chair McKee said there is also locked storage in this building. Jeff Thompson said the ADA Life Safety project has been inserted in this phase. He said most of this will be completed in the next two months. Jeff Thompson continued the PowerPoint presentation: Emerqency Services Subqroup Constraint Opportunities -In need of back-up Communications Center -CIP addresses back-up in lower level of West Campus Office Building -510 Meadowlands not a "hardened" -Merit in potentially repurposing facility West Campus Office Building lower level for primary ES facility -Field sub-station need -Proposed CIP Project Jeff Thompson said this is related to the need for a back-up Emergency Services 911 Communications Center. He said the lower level of the West Campus Office Building is being proposed as the location for this project. He said this location is designed for such a center as this. He said this is also being discussed as a permanent center. He said there are current meeting rooms that are located there, but these rooms could be moved elsewhere, such as the lower level of the Link Center. Jim Groves, of Emergency Services, said if the co-locations work out, they would be building on the north side with the Hillsborough Fire Department and the Town of Hillsborough, and the Revere Road Station would be able to move there. He said the other field sub- stations are in the CIP for the second year with plans to do something in the Waterstone area. Paul Laughton said the information about the back-up Emergency Services Center is on page 44. He said the State of North Carolina is requiring a plan be in place by July 1St 2015, and the expenses would be covered by E-911 funds. He said the sub-stations information were are on page 42. Commissioner Pelissier asked about the timeline for determining whether the proposed back up at West Campus would remain a backup or a permanent site. Jim Groves said it is a priority now to have a 911 center backup. He said if the West Campus location is used for a more permanent site, the backup location could be easily transitioned to another site when available.
