23 • Parcel purchase price - $394,050 • Adequate Capital Investment Plan (CIP) appropriations for project • Most efficient construction outcome would recommend Park Operations Base future appropriation to synchronize with Detention and Agriculture Center projects Manager’s Recommendation • Board authorization to acquire the “Northern Campus Assembly” parcels that addresses multiple County Capital Investment Plan initiatives; • Authorize the County Manager to execute the necessary documents upon final review of the County Attorney Commissioner McKee said he previously asked staff to look at a parcel of land across from McDonalds, and asked if there was an update. Jeff Thompson said there is a blue line stream bisecting the property, which makes a third of the property undevelopable. He said it would also require a forced main sewage. Commissioner McKee asked if there is an update about the state owned site. Jeff Thompson said this property is also not viable. Commissioner McKee said he just wanted to make it clear that the County has pursued other options. Commissioner Marcoplos said the challenge going forward seems to be trying to impact the neighborhood minimally. Jeff Thompson said yes. Commissioner Marcoplos said he originally questioned how to make the finished campus as minimally invasive as possible, but now realizes that the actual construction would be the most obtrusive part of the project. He asked if there is a potential for blasting. Jeff Thompson said yes. Commissioner Marcoplos said blasting could possibly affect well and septic tanks and he suggested having a mitigation fund in case this happens. Jeff Thompson said staff could look into this. Commissioner Price said the abstract should reflect that the Hillsborough Planning Board rejected this rezoning plan, even though the Town Board approved it. She said it is important to mitigate the effect of light and noise after the project is completed. Commissioner Jacobs thanked the Hillsborough Town Board for this rezoning. He agreed with Commissioner Marcoplos about mitigation, and said people should not have to prove that the blasting caused damage, but rather the County will accept the fact at face value. Commissioner Jacobs suggested setting up quarterly public information meetings going forward, to invite neighbors to share concerns and questions, and allow staff to provide updates in the projects. He said he would like to be a congenial process, and not adversarial. Commissioner Jacobs said he hoped the BOCC will name the facility after the person he previously suggested. Commissioner Price suggested involving the community in naming decisions. Bonnie Hammersley said she turned the name suggested by Commissioner Jacobs over to the HRC to find the family, and ask if the County could use the name. Commissioner Rich said to put all of the project information on the website, and be ahead of the message. Commissioner Rich asked if blasting companies have insurance for mitigation. John Roberts said companies should have this insurance.
