Memorandum TO: County Commissioners From: Pam Jones, Director of Purchasing and Central Services Re: Justice Facilities Development Date: June 5, 2002 Background Information Information reflecting previous discussions about the development of justice facilities on the downtown Hillsborough campus is attached (see index on page 4). Assumptions Based on these discussions, staff is operating under the following assumptions: • Justice Facilities on the downtown campus would be developed only to the extent a parking deck would not be needed. This would basically include only phases 1 and 2 of the plan. • The Sheriffs office building will be left intact. (Removal was contemplated in the master plan) • Indirectly related to justice facilities, we further understand that alternatives are to be developed to the GSC expansion options as defined within the 2000 Space Study. The amount of development on the site would be limited, if at all and would include only surface parking. The Board is asked to confirm the accuracy of these assumptions. Justice Facilities Development Current Funding Plan for Justice Facilities The 2002-2012 Capital Investment Plan (CIP) indicates that funding for various stages of the work would be available for spending as follows: • CIP funds currently appropriated: $500,000 for the planning of the project. • 2004-2005: private placement of$6,000,000 for construction Timeline Under Current Funding Plan for Justice Facilities • The Board has approved three groups who will carry out various aspects of the planning process; however, individual appointments have yet to be finalized. The earliest this could be done is August 20, 2002. • Architect selection would be carried out within 3 months following the appointment of the task groups, thereby necessitating that the design money be available around January 2003: • Commencement of construction is anticipated in FY 2004-2005, with completion approximately 15-18 months later (FY 2007-2008).
