| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
The 2016-17 Adopted Budget includes funding for preliminary assessment of the historic Courthouse, including architectural assessment, seismic evaluation, materials testing and environmental review. This assessment is necessary in order to determine the scope of work that will be required to renovate the Courthouse for future use. Total cost of the assessment is estimated to be $230,000, and funding is currently budgeted in the Accumulative Capital Outlay (ACO) fund.
As part of the development of the County’s Capital Improvement Program, a new CIP accounting structure is being developed, whereby all capital projects will be budgeted and accounted for in a designated Capital Project fund. As such, a Facilities Capital Project fund has been created to account for all of the County’s building-related projects. Other Capital Project funds may be created for different asset types, including roads, landfill, airport and IT assets. This new CIP accounting structure will enhance the tracking and reporting of individual capital projects, and allow the County’s CIP budget to be presented separately from the operating budget.
To begin transitioning to the new CIP accounting structure, staff is requesting that the Board adopt a budget resolution to transfer appropriations related to the Courthouse Renovation project to the Facilities Capital Project fund. |
| Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies) |
| Staff from the Department of Financial Services worked with the County Administrator's Office and the General Services Department to develop this item. County Counsel has reviewed the budget resolution as to form. |
