INFORMATION: The Town Council has previously received information on the existing condition of Town Hall, Century Center and the Public Works facility including an energy analysis. JSA has collaborated with Town Staff to develop architectural concept plans for the Town Hall and Century Center buildings, which can be found, with associated information, in Attachment A: Town of Carrboro Renewed Facilities Project Report. The plans address factors including, but not limited to, accessibility, current and future space needs, departmental relocation, and historical preservation.
The Public Works facility is being further evaluated by civil engineers to provide a site analysis and site plan. The Engineer’s findings will be presented to the Town Council at a subsequent meeting.
Additionally, a more in-depth report on the facilities’ energy systems and Net Zero strategies is scheduled to be presented at the May 11th Town Council meeting.
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: Staff have worked diligently with JSA on these plans. Individuals from every department have been involved in decision making and have attended more than nine work session meetings. There is currently no fiscal impact associated with this item.
RECOMMENDATION:r It is recommended that the Council receive the report and offer feedback on the information presented.
