2 <br /> The acquisition of this lease would allow Family Counseling to occupy the entire 2200 square feet <br /> on the second floor of 110 S. Churton. The second floor is not elevator equipped, however, the <br /> conference room on the first floor would be available in the event reasonable accommodations for <br /> a client were needed. Family Counseling occupies approximately the same square footage at the <br /> Whiffed Building, which would presumably be reallocated to resident departments as the need <br /> dictates. <br /> DURHAM TECH ADULT BASIC EDUCATION PROGRAM: The classroom is presently located <br /> in an upstairs area which is not handicapped accessible. If this lease were acquired,the classroom <br /> would be located to the rear of the leased premises, which would allow them not only a private <br /> entrance, but would further allow convenient access to a brick patio, located adjacent to the rear <br /> entrance. The patio would provide a suitable area for break time as well as before class <br /> congregation. <br /> JTPA:The JTPA program has been located in the "Law Office" at the corner of Margaret Lane <br /> and Court Street for almost two years. It was placed there as a summer program, but the program <br /> was extended and the space was never vacated. There is no heat nor restroom facilities in the Law <br /> Office. <br /> COMMISSION FOR WOMEN: This office is presently located upstairs in a building without <br /> second floor handicapped access. If the Human Relations ordinance is approved, its enforcement <br /> will be assumed by the employees in this Department. The leased premises are located in an easily <br /> accessible area with on-street parking immediately in front, thereby making service delivery more <br /> convenient for the clients. Since the offices would be located on the first floor,handicapped access <br /> in greatly improved as well. In addition, as described later in this abstract, the relocation of this <br /> function allows a more favorable revenue stream when financing the lease. <br /> POTENTIAL FUNDING FOR THE LEASE: If we choose to pursue this lease, funding is potentially <br /> available with minimal amount of new money required. The proposed funding scenario is as follows: <br /> SOURCE OF REVENUE ASSOCIATED ADDITIONAL <br /> REVENUE REVENUE <br /> NEEDED <br /> Savings from the Collins Building lease $880/month): $10,560/year <br /> (Made possible through relocation of the Durham Tech Adult Basic <br /> Education Program.) <br /> Revenue from State for Child Support Enforcement $24,124/year <br /> space ($36,552 x 66%) (Made possible by the relocation of the <br /> Commission for Women and by direct reimbursement requests rather <br /> than requesting reimbursement through the indirect cost method.) <br /> Total "existing" funds: $34,684/year <br /> Total expense for lease: $57,408/year <br /> New money needed to fund lease: (Funding source $22,724/year <br /> recommended: Commissioner's Contingency fund.) <br />
