ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: March 27, 2007 Action Agenda Item No. ~ - K SUBJECT: First Baptist Church Parking Lot License DEPARTMENT: Purchasing PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No ATTACHMENT(S): License INFORMATION CONTACT: Pam Jones (919) 245-2652 PURPOSE: To consider approving a license with First Baptist Church for use of the lower parking church parking lot off of West King Street, Hillsborough.. BACKGROUND: In recognition of the impact on parking facilities that will occur during construction of the Justice Facilities Expansion project, several months ago the County began seeking additional parking areas that were within walking distance of the courthouse. One of the options identified was a parking area at First Baptist Church, located approximately two blocks west of the courthouse on West King Street. Through conversation with the Church, the County has been able to obtain approximately 30 parking spaces on the lot for the duration of the courthouse construction. Terms of use detailed on the attached License Agreement are summarized below: • Term of use for a period of two years, beginning April 1, 2007; • Parking spaces will be designated for court staff and jurors; • The County will provide appropriate signage to delineate the area and provide parking instructions for jurors and court staff; • The County will include the lot under appropriate insurances held by the County to adequate cover exposures created as a result of the use; and will provide proof of insurance to the Church; • The County Public Works staff will monitor the area for debris and ensure the lot is cleaned weekly in preparation for Sunday services; • The County will repair any extraordinary damage to the lot that may be a result of the County's use. • The Church has offered the parking facility at no cost to the County. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There are no financial implications to this action.
