as future expansion space when needed. Option 2 added the Franklin <br />Building departments and increased the needed squaze footage to 75,615 <br />nsf. <br />Option 3 evolved from discussions with the District Attorney when it was <br />determined that consolidation of all District Attomey functions could vastly <br />improve efficiency and service delivery. Aga.in, greater occupancy of the <br />building by t~-exempt county offices would also reduce the interest rate <br />on bonds. This option increased the county's estimated space needs to <br />87,837 nsf. With the transit district anticipating a need for 23,770 nsf, this <br />leaves appro~mately 14,000 nsf for expansion space. <br />Recommendation <br />Subject to a new financial analysis (proforma) being developed on the project and <br />assuming that the depa~tments listed in options 1, 2, and 3, can afford a rental rate of <br />$1.30 /rsf, ~taff recommends that the county ado~t the attached s~ace ~rograming report <br />Siated Januar~ 2 1998. It recommends that final desi~n and space ~lanning for <br />Courthouse be based on a current need of 87,837 nsf. <br />This recommendation assumes that most county departments will not need additional <br />office space for appro~mately 5 years. It also assumes that the expansion space will be <br />occupied within 10 years of initial occupancy (2010). It also assumes that the Franklin <br />Building will be available for long-term expansion space for at least the next 20 years. <br />
