During FY 2007-08, staff plans to explore options for purchasing County vehicles and equipment locally. 7. Flooring Replacements: 2007-08 Recommended Capital Funding: ($249,000) Re-appropriation of -previously approved, uncommitted funds, to higher priority County capital projects. 8. Information Technology 2007-08 Recommended Capital Funding: $860,000 Refer to the attached list for the projects listed in priority. 9. `911 Center a-tMead-o-w-lariAs- 2007-08 Recommended Capital Funding: $1,300,000 On November 14, 2007, the Board approved the relocation of the 9- 1-1 Center to the County-owned building at 510 Meadowlands Drive, Hillsborough. Since that time, the Emergency Services staff has worked with the architect to arrive at a suitable space plan for the facility. Authorization to seek a Construction Manager at Risk for this work is slated for Board consideration on June 26, 2007. A CMAR contract would be presented in early-Fall 2007, with commencement of the work immediately thereafter. Further, a new communications tower to connect the new Center to the Eno Mountain transmitters is being funded and built by the State Highway Patrol at the Meadowlands site. The Hillsborough Board of Adjustment is scheduled to approve the tower in July 2007. A final component of the retrofit is the replacement of the dispatch consoles, which is funded through a Homeland Security grant. The grant was accepted by the Board in 2005 and the consoles ordered for installation in the current facility on New Hope Church Road. However, when the County move&toward relocation of Emergency Services operations to the Meadowlands site the console order was retooled to meet the configuration necessary for the new location. It is important for the County to take delivery of the equipment, which is now ready, in order to meet the deadline for drawdown of grant funds in late-Fall 2007. The grant was extended to allow sufficient time for the retrofit work at the new space, but would not be available for further time extension. 10. Orange High School Tennis Court Resurfacing 2007-08 Recommended Capital Funding: $100,000 ($50,000 currently available from prior years' appropriations)
