10,00.1 <br /> 76J <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> Space allocation <br /> 2/26/82 <br /> Page two <br /> OLD CAFETERIA BUILDING <br /> 1. Reconstitute the building for public safety purposes by <br /> providing for 911 Emergency Telephone service, the radio <br /> dispatch service and Sheriff office. <br /> The former requires approximately 900 square feet while the <br /> latter needs 700 feet. Cost to renovate for both would <br /> run $8,000 to $12,000 whereas bids to renovate the Old_ <br /> Post Office basement for just 911 have ranged from $18,000 <br /> to $25,000. The savings in renovation would thus be from <br /> $9,000 to $13,000. Avoided Sheriff rent would amount to <br /> an annual savings of $3,150. <br /> More important than savings, this would provide a permanent <br /> home for 911--not hostage to rent increases or lease can- <br /> cellations and not boxed in by inadequate parking (as could <br /> exist at the Old Post Office) . Still further it would avoid <br /> incompatible spacing or co-mingling of public safety per- <br /> sonnel with private citizens (as could exist were these <br /> agencies made a part of the Multipurpose Center) . <br /> RENTED COMMERICAL BUILDING IN CARRBORO <br /> 1. Relocate the Driver's License Office at a cost of $4.50 per <br /> square foot. Owner is willing to drop the ceiling and tile tb. <br /> floor. The store front exposure with ample parking off a <br /> _ main thoroughfare is ideal for visibility and public access. <br /> There would be $6,000 savings from this. <br /> 2. Permit the ABC Board to occupy all or part of the remaininc. <br /> portion of the 4,500 square feet. <br /> cL- <br /> Kenneth R. Thompson <br /> 4 <br />
