County Manager's Report — February 17, 2020 Ongoing Projects Courthouse & Government Center Renovations — (No change from January report) Moseley Architects is now finalizing construction documents for the Register of Deeds Building, Historic Courthouse and Main Courthouse buildings. The time line is to bid on April 3, Receive bids May 8, and have the Commissioners award the bids on May 18. This will allow the County to appear before the Local Government Commission at their June meeting so that the additional borrowing can be approved. In addition, Moseley is trying to bring the Government Center renovations onto the same schedule. This will make bidding and borrowing easier. The work at the courthouse complex will still be completed in phases. The first phase is the historic courthouse and Register of Deeds Building then the main courthouse. We anticipate a six to eight month construction period for phase one and an additional six months for the main courthouse building. Lee County Government Parks and Recreation Plans — Withers and Ravenel is now working on the final drawings for Horton, OT Sloan, Kiwanis Family and Temple Parks. These projects should be out to bid in the next 30 days. Other Items Moore County Growth Impact Study — (Attached) This is a follow up from the Commissioners Budget Retreat. This study was mentioned at the retreat. The study outlines the impacts of residential, commercial/retail/tourism, and industrial development on the Moore County budget. The study shows the importance of having industrial development to offset residential development since residential development does not pay for itself. The study is similar to other studies conducted in the State where there are similar outcomes.
