fourth floor will house the assessor, building inspection, planning and housing authority. The fifth floor will house the Board of Commissioners, Children and Family, Tax/Treasurer, Legal Counsel, General Services, Risk Management, Fiscal and additional 1,500 s.f. of expansion space. The possibility of offering additional future expansion space to transit was discussed. Dan Petrusich raised concern that from a leasing standpoint, it would be better to have all expansion space in one area. Dan further stated that with a large contiguous expansion lease space you have maximum flexibility. To ensure the maximum rental benefits, you want to offer the best space available to outside tenants. Melvin Mark's focus is hitting the proforma. This option will give us the best chance to meet or exceed proforma numbers. Several options were discussed in achieving all expansion space on one floor and providing best possible expansion space for leasing. N2N would be moved to the 5th floor, and Solid Waste and BCN will move up to the third floor, leaving all expansion space on the 2nd floor. The 5th floor adjacency requirements preclude re-arranging of these departments. The full two story lobby would enhance the expansion leased space being on the second floor. Consideration should be made to place the expansion space between county and transit, so either party has the option to utilize the space based on each entity's needs down the road. Billy Wasson suggested those departments generating the lowest,street traffic should be placed on the upper floors. R.G. Anderson-Wyckoff indicated transit has location issues with FTA. They had buy-in with transit's location on the 5th floor with expansion space being highly rentable and also had buy-in on second floor placement for adjacency reasons to the bus mall operations on the first floor. It would be a hard sell to FTA for any other floor location for transit. After several suggestions, it was determined that the Assessors/Building Inspections/Housing Authority (4th floor) will now occupy the 2nd floor. The 3rd floor will be occupied by District Attorney/Victim Assistance/Support Enforcement/ Solid Waste and BCN. The 4th floor will include the county commissioners/Children and Family/Tax/Treasurer/General Services/Risk/Fiscal/Legal Counsel/N2N. Transit and future expansion space will occupy the 5th floor. It was recommended that the expansion space will occupy the east side of the 5th floor and have elevator exposure. These numbers as presented in the schematics for department space have not been tested with the department's actual space planning numbers. These drawings represent a draft only, until Arbuckle Costic can get to the point of running actuals. The building skin has been defined as a brick building with punch blocks and will feature a number of bay type features on the plaza. On Court Street, the bay area will mark the front entrance. It allows for standard straight forward office layout of workstations within the structure. There is also lots of natural light for the work areas. The building core will be set up to allow the opportunity for either county or any potential private tenant the opportunity to provide restrooms within their space at a later date. The costs to provide these restrooms would become a TI issue.
