<br />The net cost to the County to rebuild the existing facility is estimated at $75,000. Not sure at this time
<br />what the ADA costs will be until building plans are submitted for approval. The County will need to pay
<br />up to $17,000 for asbestos removal in areas not damaged by the fire. The remaining $58,000 is an
<br />estimate for ADA improvements to areas of the facility not covered by the insurance reimbursement.
<br />The estimated budget to build a new facility is around $1,100,000. The County will receive a one -time
<br />payout for the repairs to the old facility of $229,000. In addition, the County will receive $75,000 for
<br />contents lost and $75,000 for facility obsolescence. Therefore, the total cash from the NCACC that can
<br />be applied to the project will be $379,000. Demolition of the old facility will cost approximately $87,000,
<br />not including asbestos removal. NCACC will go ahead and pay $31,000 for asbestos removal so the
<br />net to demolish the facility for the County would be $94,000.00. It is estimated that to build a new facility
<br />will be around $1,000,000. Several designs have been discussed with local architect Tim Sherman. A
<br />single story metal facility would be the least expensive to construct with the primary building choice
<br />location at the upper bath house in the RV Campground area. A 6,000 square foot building would give
<br />the department room for offices, meeting rooms and the Nature Center. A 1,500 square foot
<br />storage /shop would be placed in the rear of the building. Estimated net new cost to build a facility
<br />would be $720,000 (figure less what insurance funds can be applied to the project). The County can
<br />use its fund balance, plus funds that will be received from the City of Sanford for the sale of the Colon
<br />Road Lift Station to pay for this project. Mr. Crumpton recommended Enpuricon, Inc. at a cost of
<br />$47,411 for asbestos removal, which is the first step in the process, no matter which direction the Board
<br />chooses to go. Mr. Crumpton asked the Board to review the plans and decide on what action to take at
<br />the February 2nd meeting. If the County chooses to rebuild in the existing facility work needs to be
<br />handled quickly so that mold doesn't develop due to the building being in its current state. If the Board
<br />goes ahead and approves the asbestos removal, this will allow a couple of weeks for the Board to
<br />review options. Board members were encouraged to visit the Park before the February 2nd meeting.
<br />After discussion, Commissioner Smith moved for the County Manager to proceed with removal of
<br />asbestos from the building. Upon a vote, the results were as follows:
<br />Aye: Dalrymple, Frazier, Knecht, Reives, Sloan, and Smith
<br />Nay: Oldham
<br />The Chair ruled the motion had been adopted by a 6 to 1 vote.
<br />The Board considered Deeds of Easement from Lee County to the City of Sanford for
<br />construction and installation of sidewalks along Bragg Street, Nash Street, and Weatherspoon Street.
<br />County Manager John Crumpton stated the City of Sanford, as part of the Sidewalk Bond Referendum,
<br />in efforts to connect OT Sloan Park with Lee County Senior High School and Central Carolina
<br />Community College, will be installing sidewalks along Bragg Street in front of the Park, across the front
<br />of the High School property, as well as along Weatherspoon Street in front of the Arts Center. The City
<br />is requesting temporary construction and permanent easements from the County to allow for the
<br />sidewalks to be installed. After discussion, Commissioner Reives moved to approve a Deed of
<br />Easement between the County of Lee and the City of Sanford, and a Deed of Easement between the
<br />County of Lee and the Lee County Board of Education, copies of which are attached to these Minutes
<br />and by this reference made a part hereof. Upon a vote, the results were as follows:
<br />Aye: Dalrymple, Frazier, Knecht, Oldham, Reives, Sloan, and Smith
<br />Nay: None
<br />The Chair ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously.
<br />At this time the Board heard a presentation on fracking from Mr. Charles Ritter of 285
<br />Beckingham Loop, Cary, which had been added to the Agenda at the beginning of the meeting. Mr.
