Travis Myren said yes, this will be done when staff receives the Cornelius Street analysis. Commissioner Jacobs said he would like to see the narrative to include the recommendations from the 2006 Ag Center Study. Travis Myren said a public— private partnership was also considered for this site, and he and Jeff Thompson are researching this possibility. Commissioner Rich asked if the timeline could be reviewed, and when responses to Commissioner questions would be provided. Travis Myren said the project can move forward when the additional $235,000 is approved. He said if this happens in June, then staff can bring back the Cornelius Street analysis in the fall, and the BOCC can reach some decisions. Commissioner Rich asked if the additional money potentially being added in June would be placeholder funds. Travis Myren said yes, and the Board of County Commissioners would have to approve the price for the construction. Commissioner Price referred to the financial summary of year one - $3.3 million, and asked if it is expected that this amount will be spent in the next fiscal year. Jeff Thompson said the prior year's funding represents the design fees, and the construction is in year one. He said it would appropriate in year one, but the process would not move forward until the guaranteed maximum price (GMP) was approved. Bonnie Hammersley said this is a placeholder, in case there is no option with Cornelius Street, there will be funds in place to move forward with renovation. She said this may be amended in the fall if another opportunity is found, and the current number is the minimum amount needed to do renovations at the current site. Commissioner Price asked if more funding would be needed if a location were found on Cornelius Street. Jeff Thompson said this is being reviewed currently, and there would be a site acquisition cost for land not owned by the County, and a site prep cost. Commissioner Jacobs referred back the jail, and asked if the court street annex might be removed. Jeff Thompson said yes, any plans for that site include both the existing jail and the court street annex. Commissioner Jacobs said that would change some of the narrative for the Government Services annex and maybe the Link Building. Travis Myren resumed the presentation: Capital Improvement Plan • Accessibility & Security Improvements - $30,000: Page 32 o Policy priority: security improvements recommended through the Space Study Work Group o Access control and video surveillance systems
