BACKGROUND: The BOCC requested that County staff return in the fall with a review of work in progress at the Northern Human Services Center -the park property as well as proposed building improvements. The memorandum attached reflects the coordinated effort of various departments critical to the success of both ventures -Environmental Health, Environment & Resource Conservation, Recreation and Parks, Central Services and Purchasing, Library, Planning, Public Works, and Emergency Management (Fire Marshall) -but with emphasis on infrastructure improvements and building upgrades. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The BOCC will be considering potential funding sources for building and infrastructure improvements at Northern as part of its continued deliberations on county capital projects at its work session on October 27. Based upon more clearly defined priorities and parameters from the Board, County staff could proceed to prepare more specific cost estimates in anticipation of the October work session.
