TO: Board of County Commissioners DATE: December 16, 1987 FILE: SUBJECT: LEASE AGREEMENT FOR PROBATION OFFICE FROM: Perry Mattes REFERENCES: Ass t. County Administrator _ DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITIONS In order to facilitate the relocation of the County Administrator's office to a more accessable location, as was discussed at the Board of County Commissioners 12-15-87 meeting, it is necessary to relocate other offices. Mr. Don Cureton, Probation Officer, has expressed a desire to be relocated closer to the Courthouse environment and the source of the clients with whom he deals. Upon Chairman Scurlock's suggestion we have begun negotiations with the representatives of the Pocahontas Building in order to secure an annual lease of adequate office space for the Probation Division. RECOMMENDATION Staff requests the -•Board of County Commissioners to agree to the relocation intent and to"tentatively approve the lease, details of which are not available as of this writing. Asst. Administrator Mattes informed the Board that since he wrote the memo, there have been some changes. He asked staff to look at a total of four buildings. The Pocahontas Building will require extensive remodeling and we also have a cabling problem in regard to connecting to the data processing system. It, therefore, appears the Pocahontas Building is not suitable for the needs of the Probation office. They also looked at the old School Board Building, which was the Detective Bureau, and found the same problems. They investigated the Clem Building, which is suitable, but it is not available until sometime in February. They then looked at the old Grant Building (Vero Furniture), which is ready and available with minimum alterations. There is a cabling problem, but because of its accessibility, there is a chance we can tap in on the existing cabling system. BOOK 70 FAGF.457 77 O � C 2 2 1987
