ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: August 19, 2008 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. <br />_ SUBJECT: Approval of State Emplo ees Credit Union ATM at Justice Facili <br />DEPARTMENT: Purchasing & Central Services PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Pam Jones, 245-2652 <br />PURPOSE: To consider allowing .the installation of a State Employees Credit Union ATM at the <br />expanded Justice Facility in Hillsborough; and authorizing staff and the County Attorney to <br />prepare an appropriate agreement for Chair execution. <br />BACKGROUND: The County and the State Employees Credit Union have collaborated <br />throughout the design and construction of the expanded Justice Facilities to locate afull-service <br />ATM on the site. This will allow the Credit Union to locate a full service ATM unit outside of the <br />entrance to the Sheriff's Department at the new facility. The Board may recall a cash machine <br />had previously been located inside the Courthouse, however, the machine would not <br />accommodate full service banking and as a result the use of the machine was of such low <br />volume the Credit Union was compelled to remove it several years ago. <br />The initial approval is for a period of three years, commencing upon completion and opening of <br />the expanded Justice Facility. <br />There has been no Credit Union ATM in downtown Hillsborough since the Credit Union offices <br />were relocated to the new location on South Churton Street. The unit will prove to be a <br />significant convenience to the many County and State government employees working in <br />downtown Hillsborough, as well as for visitors to the courts. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Credit Union assumes all responsibility for the operation and <br />maintenance of the ATM, with the exception of providing electrical power to the unit, which is of <br />minimal expense. No payment is proposed. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board authorize a State <br />Employees Credit Union ATM to be located at the expanded Justice Facility in Hillsborough; <br />authorize staff and the County Attorney to prepare an appropriate agreement memorializing the <br />authorization; and authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of the Board. <br />
