Services Center Plan Task Force.
BACKGROUND: On November 3, 1999 the Board approved the creation of a task force to address long-

Human Services Center will be the allocation of time by County staff. The long-term financial impact
may include capital appropriations for the site.

composition and time line for the Northern Human Services Center Plan Task Force.

Northern Human Services Center PlanTask Force
The charge to the Northern Human Services Plan Task Force is to identify the needs and develop a
long-range plan for the Northern Human Services Center and the property adjacent to the Center that the
County owns. The plan will be presented to the Board of Commissioners in
March 2000.
The long-range plan for the Northern Human Services Center shall include, but not be limited to, the
following:
1. Review past Capital Improvements Plans and reports requesting improvements for the Northern
Human Services Center.
2. Identify the specific needs of agencies occupying the building.
3. Prioritize the CIP needs for the building and adjacent property.
4. Assess the current and potential uses of the building to determine the possible impacts of those uses on
the existing waste treatment system.
5. Evaluate the location of the park and ride lot and possible impacts on client parking for the building
and future park.
6. Review the status of all easements on the property.
7. Review recreational programs at the Center to ensure future park design will include existing
programs and possibly expand active and low-impact recreational activities for the area.
