years. She does not think that it would make sense to only do a quarter of the building and then delay the other three-quarters because it would cost more. A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Foushee to delay the renovation of the Link Center. VOTE: Ayes, 4; No, 1 (Commissioner Jacobs) Chair Jacobs suggested different timing on the Justice Facility/Office Building/ Library/ Hillsborough Commons. Purchasing and Central Services Director Pam Jones said that the Justice Facility has a rolling transition and part of it comes due at the end of this year, and part of it comes due three or four months later. The projection on the Office Building and the Library is May 2009. Hillsborough Commons has a three-month upfit time. There would be six months of operating costs for Hillsborough Commons because of upfront sustainable design features. Chair Jacobs suggested moving the Office Building and the Library to next fiscal year and Pam Jones suggested keeping in one month because of substantial completion. This savings would equal $105,000. On the Justice Facility, it could be delayed two months to save $38,000. For Hillsborough Commons, it could be funded for six months, which would save $492,000. The total saved is $635,494. Commissioner Gordon asked for a sheet with Hillsborough Commons that shows the capital costs. It was pointed out that the offsetting revenues would also have to be reduced in this scenario, so the net reduction is $389,000. A motion was made by Chair Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Nelson to defer installation of central permitting until the next fiscal year, which is $325,000. VOTE: UNANIMOUS A motion was made by Chair Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Carey to defer the Small Business Pool, which is $75,000. Commissioner Nelson said that he would vote against this because this is a good program for economic development. Chair Jacobs said that if the first $75,000 were expended, then he would be receptive to staff coming back to put more money in as the year goes on. Since it has never been touched, that is why he recommends deferring it. The motion is with the understanding that it could be revisited within this fiscal year. VOTE: Ayes, 4; No, 1 (Commissioner Nelson) A motion was made by Chair Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Foushee to leave the Urgent Home Repair at the current level of$50,000 (savings of$50,000). VOTE: UNANIMOUS A motion was made by Chair Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Carey to reduce by a third the County subsidy for the Efland sewer for a savings of$40,000.
