o Roofing and Façade Projects - $1,142,800 <br />The goal of the Roofing and Façade project is to repair known points of failure and to <br />proactively identify measures to protect County facilities from water intrusions. The <br />FY2018-19 Capital Budget included $369,800 in roofing and façade repairs. Of this <br />amount, $174,800 was repurposed for remediation projects, and a new $41,200 will <br />be requested to complete urgent roof repairs on the District Attorney’s building. <br /> <br />The FY2019-20 project recommends nearly $1.2 million in roofing and façade <br />investments. This project will fund a Building and Façade study ($25,000) and a third <br />party inspection process ($55,000) as preventative elements. Funding is also <br />recommended to repair or replace roofing and façade features at the Motor Pool <br />Facility ($180,500), Central Recreation ($45,000), Hillsborough Commons ($376,000), <br />the Justice Facility ($103,000), Orange County Public Transportation ($40,000), and <br />the Seymour Center ($55,000). The project also funds design services for a large <br />roofing projects at the Southern Human Services Center ($64,000) as well as a partial <br />window replacement at the Whitted Building ($111,300). <br /> <br />o Whitted Site Drainage and Storm Water Improvements ($575,000) <br />The Whitted Building is positioned at the bottom of a hill, subjecting the facility to <br />significant storm water impacts. These impacts have created water intrusion issues <br />from the exterior of the building. This project recommends site drainage <br />improvements, facility waterproofing, and grading changes to prevent water from <br />penetrating the exterior walls. <br /> <br />x Criminal Justice Resource Department - $216,300 <br />The Criminal Justice Resource Department is currently located in the Justice Center. The <br />Board of Commissioners has supported the growth of this department to improve outcomes <br />for residents involved in the criminal justice system as well as those at risk of involvement. <br />As the department has grown in scope and complexity, additional office space will be <br />required to meet the needs of additional staff. The FY2019-20 CIP recommends $216,300 <br />to remodel underutilized office space in the Justice Facility to accommodate current staffing <br />needs and future growth. <br /> <br />x Facility Accessibility and Security Improvements - $371,000 <br />The FY2019-20 CIP recommends several improvements to facility access. The two largest <br />projects in this category would create an accessible sidewalk to River Park from the new bus <br />stop on Churton Street ($88,000) and repair the steps, sidewalk and curb outside of the <br />Whitted Building. The project also recommends the installation of Automatic Emergency <br />Defibrillators at several County facilities. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />9
