, ~ <br /> -----' —`---` <br /> County Manager -4- Background and Recommendation <br /> for Agencies to Occupy the <br /> Renovated Northside Multipurpose <br /> Center <br /> 10. Building would be used at night as well as during the day. <br /> 11. Sheriff's Office would provide security for complex 24 hours <br /> per-day. —� ' <br /> 12. Cost of construction would be reduced by not having to build in <br /> fire protection for Day Care. <br /> Disadvantages: <br /> 1. More parking space would be needed in order to accommodate <br /> increased vehicles. <br /> 2. Day Care, now occupying 2,000 square feet, would have to relocate <br /> into the cafeteria building. <br /> 3. More traffic flow into center would occur. However with Caldwell <br /> Street being widened and completed by the time the moves would <br /> come should ease that problem. <br /> 4. With Day Care moving into this building there would not be any <br /> guarantee of the length of time it could remain since the Mental <br /> Health plan is to turn them into a day hospital if and when money <br /> becomes available through a grant. There would be some considerable <br /> - time for them to find other quarters in a church or other agency '. '. <br /> after the grant was announced. <br /> 5. In the event there was an expansion of departments there is not a <br /> lot of space left over in this plan to accommodate this. If this <br /> were to occur the Sheriff's Office and Driver's License Office <br /> would be the first to move to make more room. <br /> Alternative 4: Maintain and add a� in Alt��ative_3 except <br /> Sheriff's Office. <br /> Advantages: <br /> 1. This change from Alternative 3 would provide some 500 square feet <br /> for expansion of future needs from within i needing <br /> room or a small department now located outside this complex could <br /> be moved into this space. <br /> 2. This would decrease traffic and parking spaces by about 10 spaces <br /> for Sheriff vehicles and to some degree the number of people in <br /> building. <br /> 3. Would not have to cut additional door to outside which cuts con- <br /> struction cost nnmewhat. <br /> Disadvantages: <br /> 1. The complex looses 24 hour security which would have been provided <br /> at no cost with the presence of the Sheriff's Office. <br /> 2. By holding this space vacant the total utility of the building is <br /> incomplete and drives up cost per square foot of housing the agencies <br /> there. <br />
