AGENDA SECTION:

CONSENT AGENDA

BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:

In late 2016, the County purchased two vacant parcels adjacent to the existing Behavioral Health building using expiring State funding.  Then in June 2017, using the remaining expiring funds, an architect was hired to begin schematic design of the new building.  However, at the time there was not enough funding to complete design and construct a building.

In the current FY CIP budget, the Board approved the necessary funding to complete this project.  Since that time, the architect has continued with the construction documents, a geotechnical report has been prepared, and a lot line adjustment is in process.  One other required activity is completion of an environmental review process.  EMC Planning Group has been identified as a highly qualified firm to assist the County with this effort.

It is anticipated that a Mitigated Negative Declaration will be prepared and will be brought to the Board for adoption when complete.  The project is still on track for completion by June 2020 and is on budget.
