UNCtE COUNTY FACILITIES STUDY SECTION Y <br /> • Finance, the County Manager and Commissioner's Clerks move to the <br /> Sheriff/Elections Building. The Personnel Department will vacate <br /> s80ce square <br /> vacatedfeet <br /> will be space <br /> approximately ground <br /> 3500floor. <br /> canTot be useda of <br /> Spa to expand <br /> judicial functions. <br /> Phase #5 - Provide structured parking between new Courthouse and <br /> Sheriff/Elections Building. <br /> Phase #6 - Provide expansion at Grady Brown Complex. <br /> ALTERNATIVE B <br /> Note: The first four phases should occur sequentially. County officials can <br /> best prioritize the order of occurrence of the subsequent phases. <br /> Phase #1 - Courthouse Annex Constructed. <br /> To provide space for County administrative departments and judicial <br /> functions. Approximately 10,000 square feet would be needed at an <br /> estimated construction cost of $650,000. <br /> Phase #2 - Remodel interior of New Courthouse. <br /> As in Phase #4 of Alternate A, the space vacated within the <br /> Courthouse could be remodeled to provide expansion for judicial <br /> functions. This stage could actually be implemented anytime after <br /> the completion of Phase #1 , depending on the priorities established <br /> by County officials. <br /> Phase #3 - Move Board of Elections to Agriculture Building. <br /> Space will have been vacated by Purchasing, Central Stores and <br /> Register of Deeds. <br /> 1 <br /> Phase #4 - Remodel interior of Sheriff/Elections Building. <br /> When the Board of Elections moves to the Agriculture Building, as <br /> indicated in Phase #3, the Sheriff's Office can expand into that <br /> vacated space. In order to facilitate making the best use of that <br /> space and to remedy the already inappropriate division of space in <br /> i the Sheriff's Office, it is recommended that the entire first floor <br /> be remodeled. <br /> 4 <br /> Phase #5 - Jail Expansion. <br /> It is yet to be determined whether expansion of the Jail would be <br /> most appropriate in Hillsborough at the existing facility, or <br /> whether it would be better to construct an additional facility at <br /> some remote County location. The current Jail is a high security <br /> facility. The concept exists that an additional lower security <br /> facility could be constructed to house misdemeanant prisoners in a <br /> 4 more remote area of the County. Again, implementation of a Jail <br /> facility study will help to determine which alternative is best. <br /> a <br /> 4 <br /> Page 34 <br />
