MAY 15 1990 FUNDING: BOOT- 80 PAGE 9",7 Funding for this project to construct our own building can come from the Sales. Tax revenue or General Fund. Funds to lease will come from the General Fund, only. RECOMMENDATIONS• In looking at cost of over $500,000 over a period of five years to lease space in the North County, and -considering the long range plans for other space requirements, it appears we should purchase a piece of property and build a facility.. to meet immediate needs with planned expansion phases to meet future requirements. General Services Director Sonny Dean noted that the cost analysis does not include any operating costs and that the RFP did not ask for lease/purchase. Commissioner Scurlock advised that he has had some dialogue with Corsi and Dale Sorensen and felt there is a potential of having as much as 200 acres donated to the County at the inter- section of 1-95 and CR -512. Both Corsi and Sorensen have some property under contract there, and if that is one of the concepts that we would want to explore, there is a potential of 100-200 acres there which would give us enough land to do sewer and water. Obviously, the reason somebody would be interested ,in doing that is to bring utility services to that node and get something going there. After looking at staff's recommendation, he felt there is no question that the best approach for the County would be to acquire property and build rather than lease, but the thing we have to realize is that any facility that we build is going to have an operational side to that budget as well and we have been telling Administrator Chandler to keep taxes at rollback this year. There are a lot of things we would like to have, but the ability to pay for them is a concern. Chairman Eggert recalled that when we were looking at land for the north county library, one of these parties offered us 3 acres at Chesser Gap, which is relatively close to the library 12 S
