Recommended Changes to Courthouse Square floor Plan June 14, 1999 l. Move Neighbor to Neighbor (N2N) from 4th floor to 3~d floor. Explanation: The space allocated to Neighbor to Neighbor (N2N) is not adequate to meet their space needs. They currently have 600 sf of space and are requesting approximately 1000 sf. N2N will experience a 50% increase in staff by the time they move into Courthouse Square and a 32% increase in caseload this year alone. Leaving N2N on the 4`h floor will eliminate the future expansion space for other county departments on the 4`h floor. It is proposed to move N2N to the 3`d floor with the District Attorney. This move will also allow for future expansion space on the 4`h floor for Support Services, BOC and/or Children & Families. Rent for the N2N program is paid by the general fund. 2. Add four enclosed offices to Support Services and expand into the N2N space. Explanation: The department originally requested 13 enclosed offices. Concerns about construction costs and standardization resulted in a request to reduce this number to 7 offices. The department has undergone significant change in the last year and believes the privacy concerns and sensitive nature of some staff positions requires enclosed offices. The additional positions requiring enclosed offices include: two personnel analysts, loss control manager, benefits specialist and the training and development coordinator. These needs can be met by adding 4 additional offices and converting a small conference room to an office. In addition, the conference room #4297 in the NE corner needs to be relocated, office #4289 needs to be reduced in size and the door in office #4266 needs to be relocated to the north side. In order to secure adequate space for these additional offices and staff, the department is requesting that the former space allocated to N2N be added to the Support Services office space. 3. Relocate the Marion County Housing Authority (MCHA) from the 3"d floor to Stn floor. Explanation: The MCHA has 4,842 nsf on the 3~d floor with the remainder of the floor occupied by the District Attorney. MCHA has indicated that they may need an additional 300 of floor space to accommodate new staff and storage needs.
