16 <br /> 1 Commissioner Marcoplos clarified that it may be a few years before the 100-acre area is <br /> 2 ready to accept development. <br /> 3 Craig Benedict said it will be about 18 months. <br /> 4 Commissioner Jacobs asked if staff could please distinguish between Durham City and <br /> 5 Durham County when speaking about these entities. <br /> 6 Craig Benedict said he is referring to Durham City when discussing the Eno EDD. <br /> 7 Commissioner Jacobs said the Durham County Commissioners are eager to partner on <br /> 8 the Eno EDD, but it does not appear to be in their purview. <br /> 9 Chair Dorosin asked if once the 100-acre area has the gravity sewer system, then <br /> 10 development could begin. <br /> 11 Craig Benedict said yes. <br /> 12 Travis Myren resumed the presentation: <br /> 13 <br /> 14 Capital Investment Plan <br /> 15 • Solid Waste - $990,268: Page 88, 91, 94 <br /> 16 o Combination of Solid Waste Funds ($297,314) and debt financing ($692,954) <br /> 17 o Service truck replacement deferred from FY2016-17 <br /> 18 o Eight stationary compactors for new Eubanks Road Waste and Recycling Center <br /> 19 o Modernization of High Rock Waste & Recycling Center into a Neighborhood <br /> 20 Center focusing on smaller bulk items and additional recycling services <br /> 21 <br /> 22 Chair Dorosin asked if the term "Neighborhood Center" could be clarified, as pertains to <br /> 23 this project. <br /> 24 Gayle Wilson said the BOCC approved a concept several years ago to change the five <br /> 25 centers to a mix of district and neighborhood centers. He said the first district center was <br /> 26 completed at Walnut Grove Church Road, and the Eubanks Road center is under construction. <br /> 27 He said these two centers are large, full service operations. He said the other three centers are <br /> 28 neighborhood centers with reduced services, and slightly reduced hours of operation. He said <br /> 29 the High Rock Center would be the first neighborhood center to be redeveloped. <br /> 30 Commissioner Jacobs asked if the length of the High Rock lease could be identified. <br /> 31 Gayle Wilson said it is a 10-year lease until 2022, with an automatic 10-year renewal. <br /> 32 He said there is also an option for three consecutive five-year renewals, thereafter. He said he <br /> 33 spoke recently with the landowner, and asked if he would be interested in selling. He said the <br /> 34 owner does not want to sell, but would consider a change in the lease. <br /> 35 Commissioner Rich asked if staff has spoken with neighbors of the High Rock site about <br /> 36 the proposed changes. <br /> 37 Gayle Wilson said this has not happened, but staff will do so. He said there can be <br /> 38 neighborhood meetings about the reduction in services in some areas, and new services in <br /> 39 other areas. <br /> 40 <br /> 41 • Sportsplex — $465,000: Page 99 <br /> 42 Prior Year Funds-All Projects $4,889,000 <br /> 43 Family Changing Room $100,000 <br /> 44 IT/Communications Contingency $50,000 <br /> 45 Kidsplex Equipment $50,000 <br /> 46 Pool — Boiler and Pumps $75,000 <br /> 47 Pool — Re-plaster and tile $150,000 <br /> 48 Pool —water reclamation project $40,000 <br /> 49 TOTAL $465,000 <br /> 50 <br />
