13 1 Commissioner McKee said he wants to make sure they are safe, but this is a private 2 industry standard that was developed by people that sell this material. 3 Commissioner Carter asked if there are insurance implications. 4 Travis Myren said this is in the context of a 10-year plan. He said that as projects get 5 closer, they can look to see if anything can be pushed out farther. He said a 10-year plan is 6 meant to capture expected costs so the county can plan. 7 Chair Bedford said if it can be moved two years, that could save $2-$3 million dollars 8 and those could be saved for other emergency needs and it would make a difference in debt 9 service, as well. 10 Commissioner Fowler asked what the recommended frequency is for full electrical 11 redoes. 12 Angel Barnes said she would look into it. 13 Commissioner McKee said you do not want to wait for things to get bad or for buildings 14 to collapse because the county delayed necessary improvements. He said that he does not 15 want to continue the mindset of everything is fine and we can keep doing as they have been 16 doing. 17 Commissioner Carter asked if there are any operational savings from the upgrades. 18 Travis Myren said they are representing a general decline in the rate of increase based 19 on the energy efficiency. 20 Chair Bedford said that would have to do with LED lights but not necessary the 21 transformers and wires. 22 Commissioner Fowler said the lifespan is 20-30 years and she would like to know where 23 they are in that. 24 Chair Bedford said it would be good to have an inspection. 25 Alan Dorman said West Campus was built in 2009 and he said they built a lot of 26 buildings between 2007-2009. 27 Commissioner Fowler said it looks like we are using the 20-year rather than the 20-30- 28 year plan. 29 30 Slide #13
