The <br />new building will create additional space for agencies <br />occupying the existing Southern Human Services Complex <br />and other County Departments in leased space in the Southern <br />part of the County. Social Services, Aging and JOCCA occupy <br />Building #1 and OPC Mental Health occupies Building #2 at the <br />existing Human Services Complex. Agencies in Building #1 are <br />scheduled to relocate to the new Southern Human Services <br />Building while OPC will expand into Building #1 at the <br />existing Southern Human Services Complex after construction <br />of the new building. <br />OPC Mental Health requires additional space before the <br />completion of the new Southern Human Services Building. oPC <br />Mental Health requests approval to construct an approximately <br />1400 square feet addition to the County owned Southern Human <br />Services Building #2. The Agency has submitted information <br />outlining the need for additional space and a funding plan. <br />The OPC Board has approved the construction proposal and <br />appropriated $145,000 from their fund balance to fund most of <br />the project. OPC also requests $21,500 from the County to <br />complete funding for the project. Tom Maynard, Area <br />Director, will present the proposal to the Board. <br />
