Staff Memorandum Dated April 4, 1986 MEBANE - 227-2031 I DURHAM - 68B-7331 PURPOSE: To .consider a Resolution of Support for the Artschool's $62,598 Title III-B Application to the Triangle J Council of Governments for reno- vating part of their new facility on behalf of senior citizens. The County'; support would be a five year lease with the Artschool and management (Depart- ment on Aging) of the space that includes a multipurpose/nutrition room, classroom, kitchen, and two offices (2,272 sq. ft. , see attached floor plan) The Artschool's application is due April 11, 1986 and needs some indication whether the County desires space in their new facility for senior citizens. NEED: There is a critical need for center space in Southern Orange , specifically in the Town of Carrboro for both individual and group activities. •(See attach- ed Study Committee Report) Presently, the JOCCA Nutrition Program (serving 35 elderly daily) is utilizing an inadequate small Artschool room ($50.00 monthly donation) . The current nutrition site space will not be available next December, 1986 with the relocation of the Artschool to a new renovated facility. Additional Artschool space would also relieve some of the group space problems in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Multipurpose Center. IMPACT: Annual costs would be $13, 632 for lease ($6 x 2.272 sq. ft.) and $800 for telephone service. Minimal janitoral service will be required. However, no additional County Department on Aging staff is requested to operate the new Center. While the County would be responsible for the overall lease, the Town of Carrboro and some agency users of the Center (ex. JOCCA) would likely and appropriately pay part of the lease expense. No commitment of funds have been made by other parties at this time. RECOMMENDATION: County Senior Citizens Board recommends approval (minutes Dec. 12 and March 13, 1986) . DoA staff supports recommendation. Manager recommends disapproval of resolution committing fiscal year 1986/87 funds before budget preparation. See attached memorandum regarding DOA expansion.
