County Projects <br /> 31 HVAC Projects (CIP page 26) <br /> 32 Paul Laughton said there are minimal HVAC expenses anticipated in the next five <br /> 33 years.

He said the maintenance and replacement of HVAC will fall under the <br /> 39 operating budget. He said this is referenced on page 26 of the CIP. <br /> 40 Chair McKee asked the County Manager if the Board could have more financial <br /> 41 information regarding the Community Geothermal that was put in the Jail and Courthouse <br /> 42 complex, specifically regarding whether the initial cost has been recouped in the energy <br /> 43 savings. <br /> 44 Bonnie Hammersley said she would gather that information. <br /> 45 Commissioner Rich asked if any preliminary work would be needed at the Southern <br /> 46 Human Services Center (SHSC), prior to year six, for the geothermal installation. <br /> 47 Jeff Thompson, Orange County Asset Management Director, said this is a placeholder, <br /> 48 in case the SHSC expansion renovation does not move forward. He added that if the BOCC <br /> 49 does move forward with the renovations at the SHSC, the geothermal site would be a part of <br /> 50 the design process. <br />
