2 MEMORANDUM TO: COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.' FROM: JOHN LINK, COUNTY MANAGER v RE: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION; 19 1 -96 RECOMMENDED CIP DATE: FEBRUARY 15, 1991 During the compilation of this year's CIP, a myriad of issues were raised regarding space and the intended use of certain County buildings. We attempted to categorize these issues in the following manner: ..Issues to be addressed immediately through the operating budget or through funds provided in the CIP for fy 91-92; ..Long -term issues to be addressed through pay -as- you -go funding; ..Long -term issues to be addressed through a bond issue. COURT STREET ANNEX The Government Services Center being built with proceeds from the 1988 bond issue has brought about a domino effect on space for County offices in Hillsborough. The new building will allow all offices currently housed in the Court Street Annex to be relocated. There are several forces competing for the released space. The Economic Development Commission (EDC), as part of the implementation of their strategic plan, has suggested creating a Small Business Training Center. The training center would consolidate to one location several functions currently in place, such as the Employment Security office, the GED classroom, the Economic Development administrative offices as well as adding office space for the Small Business Technology Development Center (SBTDC), classrooms for Durham Technical Institute (DTI), and an office for a Job Training representative from DSS. Ted Abernathy has estimated a space requirement of approximately 2500 s.f. for this function. The Court Street Annex space would be suitable for this function with little renovation required. It is also anticipated that other offices in the leased Sawyer Building could be'relocated to the Court Street Annex. 1991 CIP INFORMATION PAGE 1
