Orange County Space Needs Report--2005 Update <br />Page 22 of 69 <br />Department Name: Board of Elections (BOE) <br />Project Development Phase: Interim: Tier 1 B or Tier 2A; Long-Term: Tier 3B <br />Current Location: Court Street Annex, <br />Current Departmental Square Footage: 1,007 <br />Current # Employees: 4 <br />Proposed Square Footage: 3,055 (plus 30% Circulation factor) <br />Options to accommodate space <br />Interim: Two opticns exist far interim space, contingent upon the <br />development timeline for the new county campus. <br />o Department will expand within existing space at such time the <br />Phase I Justice project is completed and EDC is relocated to the <br />old Hillsborough Savings Bank Building, estimated in 2008; or <br />o Department will relocate from the Court Street Annex to the GSC at <br />such time a building suitable for all land related departments is built <br />at the new county campus. The Court Street Annex would then be <br />reallocated entirely for court operations. <br />o The decision regarding which option to pursue may be different <br />contingent upon decisions made about other projects contained in <br />this study. Consider the following: <br />^ If the GSC land departments are tc move to the new campus <br />in a later phase of development, then the BOE should <br />expand within the Court Street Annex after EDC has been <br />relocated. <br />^ If the proposed Land Services Building is completed in a <br />' single phase then it may be more practical to relocate BOE <br />to the GSC and reassign the Court Street Annex to the court <br />system (Probation and Parole and Juvenile Services occupy <br />the upper floor of the building currently). This option should <br />be evaluated further in light of current conditions at the time <br />of relocation to ensure the program defined for the <br />departments relocating from GSCA allows sufficient space <br />for the BOE move. <br />Long-term: Department would be Iccated with other County administrative <br />functions to the new county campus. <br />3 <br />22 <br />
