12 <br /> <br />Chair Dorosin asked if any of the federal inmates are undocumented immigrants <br />awaiting hearings, or waiting for deportation. <br />Sheriff Blackwood said yes, some are definitely undocumented, but he does not know <br />whether they are being held for deportation. He said if an inmate has committed a crime, and <br />is under bond, and an ICE detainer comes in, and the inmate makes bond, then the inmate <br />leaves. He said the detainer is a request, not an order, and the County will not hold the inmate <br />beyond the time that it can without an order. <br />Travis Myren resumed the presentation: <br /> <br />FY2018-23 Recommended Capital Investment Plan <br />Continuation Projects <br />• Northern County Campus Development Plan <br />o Community Engagement <br />• Shared Site Work <br />o Utilities & Storm Water Management <br />o Road Work and Parking <br />o Buffering, Landscaping, Lighting, Fiber <br />• Combine Park Operations Administrative Offices with EAC Building <br />• Sustainability Feature Studies <br />o Photovoltaic – Energy & Hot Water <br />o Geothermal Heating and Cooling <br />o Cool Roof Design <br /> <br />Chair Dorosin said Commissioner McKee had voiced his concerns about having any <br />other construction on this site. He said he respectfully does not agree with Commissioner <br />McKee, and would like to know how others feel. <br />Commissioner Burroughs said she is also opposed to the other proposed buildings. <br />Commissioner Marcoplos said the Board voted on this plan at the last meeting, and he <br />said he believed the County should move ahead with the County campus project as <br />envisioned. He said the Revere Road property is also a good opportunity for affordable <br />housing. <br />Commissioner Rich said she would like to move forward with the project, and to use the <br />Revere Road site for affordable housing. <br />Commissioner Jacobs said he is inclined to the plan that currently exists. He said he <br />has a slightly different opinion about the affordable housing option, and would like to see if it <br />would be more profitable to sell the Revere Road property, and use the sale proceeds to build <br />affordable housing elsewhere. He said Hillsborough’s planning department may not be easy to <br />work with, and there may be greater need for affordable housing in other areas of the County. <br />Commissioner Price said she supports moving forward with the proposed County <br />campus project. She said she does not want to jump to any conclusions regarding affordable <br />housing on the Revere Road site, and would like to explore all options for this property. She <br />said having the Ag Center and Parks Operations on the same site will provide a buffer <br />between the detention center and the neighboring properties. <br />Bonnie Hammersley said this is the recommended budget, and if the BOCC wants to <br />make any changes, please contact her office. <br />Chair Dorosin asked if the Commissioners would copy the entire Board on any <br />comments/suggestions that are sent to the Manager. <br />Travis Myren resumed the presentation: <br /> <br />• Orange County Southern Branch Library - $5,625,000 (page 39)
