4. If the Board chooses to pursue Phase I construction on the Hillsborough campus, they could <br />authorize staff to begin the architect selection process as early as July 1, 2000. Funding <br />sufficient to support the design work that would be accomplished during FY 2000-2001 is <br />part of the Manager's Recommended 2000-2010 Capital Investment Plan. By taking this <br />action, the County would be positioned to supply specific information to citizens about <br />exactly what would be constructed at such time funding for construction was being sought. <br />It would also position us to be able to begin work quickly after funds became available. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Board is requested to authorize staff to solicit for architectural <br />services after July 1, 2000 contingent upon approval of the funds in the CIP. It is anticipated <br />that the $125,000 appropriation in the 2000-2010 CIP will fund the design work that can be <br />accomplished during the fiscal year. Remaining design funds will be appropriate in future CIP's. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the following actions to the Board: <br />• Endorse the Hillsborough Court Campus Master Plan; and <br />• To the extent possible, express a design concept preference (articulated as Option A or <br />Option B in the report); and <br />• Provide direction to the Staff regarding the next steps of court facility development that <br />the Board would like to pursue; and <br />• Authorize staff to begin the architect selection process immediately after July 1, 2000, <br />pending approval of design funds in the CIP. <br />
