PURPOSE: To continue review and comment on the schematic design of the Whitted

BACKGROUND: On April 4, 2013, the BOCC authorized Orange County to move forward with
the design of permanent Board meeting facilities within the Whitted 2nd Floor "A" building in
Hillsborough, and included this capital project within the adopted Capital Investment Plan in FY
2013 -14.
On June 18, 2013, the BOCC authorized the Manager to move forward with the design, award a
bid, and complete the necessary site work for this project as "Phase 1" in order that the work be
completed this fall during optimal outdoor weather. This site work, which will include significant
paving, stormwater management, lighting, pedestrian access, handicapped access, and
landscaping improvements, is currently out to bid and should be complete no later than the end
of November 2013.
The County has engaged Corley, Redfoot Architects as the designer for the project. Ken
Redfoot and David Taylor with Corley, Redfoot Architects will continue presenting the schematic
designs as well as corresponding three dimensional space modeling for additional BOCC
review and comment introduced during the September 12, 2013 work session.
