SURPLUS BUILDINGS - HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND MAIN LIBRARY <br />BUDGET AMENDMENT 008 <br />The Board reviewed memo from General Services Director Sonny <br />Dean dated December 10, 1991: <br />DATE: DECEMBER 10, 1991 <br />TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />THRU: JAMES E. CHANDLER <br />- COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />FROM: H.T. "SONNY" DEAN, DIRECTMO/ <br />DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES <br />"SUBJECT: "SURPLUS BUILDINGS <br />HEALTH DEPARTMENT - MAIN LIBRARY <br />BUDGET AMENDMENT - 008 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />With vacating the subject two buildings, staff did a study to. <br />determine the feasibility of relocating our offices now in the 2001 <br />Building into one of these locations. The attached chart is a <br />,comparison of the estimated cost for renovation and annual operating <br />,..expenses on each location including expenses associated ::.with <br />remaining in the 2001 Building. The` anticipated cost are itemized <br />for each year through 1996. In looking at just the dollars.,.• it <br />appears the most economical choice would be to stay in *the.".'2001 y <br />'.,Building. However, we have evaluated the situation from every.:,: angle <br />'in a effort to determine which would be in the best interest for ..the: <br />,County. <br />t <br />;It is anticipated that the'. new space needs study will recommend <br />.moving 2001 Building personnel temporarily into one of the. old <br />;buildings until a new administration building is constructed. It <br />'will not recommend exactly which of the buildings but indicates-•- the <br />Health Building is a marketable product. <br />rIn an effort to determine if the old'Library Building was marketable, <br />it was advertised for sale or lease. Although, we had some 'inquires <br />prior to.advertisement, no response was received on the opening date.' <br />Ed Schlitt has offered to continue our lease in the 2001 Building <br />without increase in rent for three- years. One.of the_�roblems with <br />this arrangement is not knowing exactly how long this space'will be <br />needed. If monies are not available for a new Administration <br />Building, it is possible, we could go beyond 1997 as indicated in the <br />attached chart. A prolong length of time would increase the cost of <br />occupancy beyond that of renovating our own facility and we would not <br />have a significant return on our investment. <br />Exact cost of renovating the Health Building is hard to determine. <br />This is a specialty building and converting it to office space will <br />be labor intensive and costly due to the design that includes small <br />rooms with special plumbing. We have already had two inquires on <br />possible lease and/or sale of this property. Both parties were <br />interested in the structure as is. Should we convert the building to <br />office space, I feel these two parties would no longer be interested. <br />The property is marketable as it now stands. <br />71 <br />BOOK. 6b f,ti;c <br />AW <br />
