PURPOSE: To receive updated information on potential plans of action to address the long-
term County operational space needs.
BACKGROUND: The County initially published a study in 2000 that inventoried departmental
space needs and suggested solutions for meeting the needs. An update to this study was
prepared in 2005. Many of the recommendations involved interim solutions, since the prospect
of an expanded County campus was conceptual at that point. With the Board of
Commissioners approval of an expanded County campus in downtown Hillsborough on
November 2, 2006, many of these needs may.now be addressed in a more definitive manner.
The attached updated documents are intended to provide that information.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The County's Capital Investment Plan will be presented in the Spring
2007 and will reflect the specific financial impact of study options recommended for
implementation.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board discuss the updated
information and approve the study. for implementation, with modifications that may be
suggested during the Board's deliberations.
