Most of this property was developed while the late Winfred Simpson was the Director of Property Management. Staff would like to name the complex of buildings as the Winfred Simpson Complex in honor Winfred Simpson. If approved, a dedication service will be held at 11 a.m. on October 31, 2003 to unveil a plaque in Mr. Simpson's honor and memory.

Currently, we have two contracts with two architects to perform design services for each of the projects. The scope of work for the PSCC was to renovate existing space at the LEC, not to design and relocate data/communications and build a new facility at the annex site. After meeting with Sharp Architects and Ware Bonsel, we are comfortable that the firms can work together to build the combined space. By using the firms we are currently under contract with, we will benefit from all the preliminary work they have already completed on these two areas. It is anticipated that the combined space will be approximately 5,500 square feet for the PSCC and EM space, not including the office space. Office space will add an additional 4,788 square very feet, however, this will be renovated space inside the current Administration Annex. We have established some preliminary budget numbers as shown on the attached worksheet. The Capital Project Ordinance also moves money out of the annex capital project for the renovation of the Gold's Gym space ($500,000), and establishes funds for the renovation of the Administration Building's 1st and 2nd floors ($114,000). The revenue for this is rental income. The Transfer from the General Fund shown in the Capital Project Ordinance of $1,530,071 are funds that were remaining from the Parking Deck Capital Project and the Corning Project. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Authorize staff to amend current contracts for the architectural services for the combined Public Safety Communications Center and Emergency Management Building. Also, adopt Capital Project Ordinance and budget amendment. FUNDING SOURCE: Will above action result in: No Change In Position(s) Number of Positions: Explanation: Certificates of participation. Debt service on the Certificates of Participation will impact the General Fund budget in future years.

As a result of the decision, Mr. Egland appealed to the North Carolina Property Tax Commission. During conversations with Mr. Egland, he conceded the listing agent had inflated the advertised square footage to be between 6,600 and 6,700. Because the house has irregular shapes, the square footage provided by the listing agent was initially used by the Tax Department when calculating the tax value. Prior to the Board of E&R hearing, a review of the square footage was conducted with the only personnel available to provide information, the listing agent, who indicated the actual square footage was closer to 6,000 square feet. The tax value presented to the Board of E&R was based on 6,001 square feet. After the Board of E&R hearing and during discussions with Mr. Egland, he provided the blue prints which identify 5,413 heated square feet. This is considered a clerical error and is correctable under NC General Statutes. It is appropriate that the Board of E&R be informed of this correction. The information provided to the Tax Department was inaccurate and misleading. It is appropriate to reduce the square footage from 6,001 to 5,413, which results in a new tax value of $1,220,892. That is a reduction in tax value of $153,781. Mr. Egland has reluctantly agreed to this value. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Recommend that the board approve the corrected tax value of $1,220,892 for tax year 2003, required as a result of incorrect information having been provided to the Tax Department and the board.
