CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
<br />GENERAL GOVERNMENT:
<br />General Services Equipment Sbelter
<br />A shelter is needed to house all heavy Grounds
<br />Maintenance Division equipment, The existing
<br />shelter is beyond repair and has become unsafe. No
<br />operational impact to the budget.
<br />General Services Administration Warehouse
<br />Addition
<br />This addition adds 2,500 square foot to the existing
<br />General Services warehouse. It will be used for
<br />additional storage and processing areas. A minimal
<br />increase to the department's utilities budget is
<br />anticipated as a result of this addition.
<br />Cooperative Extension Building HVAC
<br />Replacement
<br />The current system is the original system installed in
<br />1977 when the building was constructed. It has
<br />problems mechanically and with its original design.
<br />Replacement of the original system is recommended
<br />with smaller zone units that are connected via
<br />computer systems, much like the majority of other
<br />County facilities. A cost savings in the utilities
<br />budget is anticipated due to a new, more efficient
<br />system, and also, savings in repair costs which were
<br />being spent on the older system.
<br />Tax Hardware/Software
<br />Replacement is needed for the current tax billing,
<br />collection and assessment software and hardware to
<br />leverage the functionality of client server technology
<br />with web based applications. The current software
<br />system runs on a proprietary operating system with
<br />limited query ability and the tax server will no longer
<br />be supported by HP after 2008. The County is
<br />working with other jurisdictions in joint use of the
<br />system. This change will enhance-the operations and
<br />efficiency of the department but will have little
<br />impact on the operational budget.
<br />Voting System,
<br />Voting equipment will be used on Election Day to
<br />enable eligible voters to vote for the candidate of
<br />their choice and calculate the totals for accurate
<br />results. This inundated change in voting equipment
<br />will increase the Elections budget due to the
<br />requirement for special supplies that were not
<br />previously necessary with the old systern. The exact
<br />increase has not yet been determined.
<br />Facility for Board of Meetions
<br />The Board of Elections has outgrown their current
<br />space and is in need of larger office space for
<br />continued operations. Suitable space will be sought
<br />and purchased, Operational budget impact includes a
<br />possible utility increase due to size, but efficiency of
<br />newer facility may negate the increase in size. Some
<br />additional office furnishings may be necessary.
<br />Roof Replacement – Piedmont Behavioral Health
<br />This facility, located at 457 fake Concord Road, was
<br />built in 1976 by a partnership consisting of Cabarrus
<br />County, Cabarrus County Hospital, and Piedmont
<br />Area Mental Health. The lease agreement requires
<br />that Cabarrus County be responsible for maintenance
<br />of reasonable wear items, such as the roof. This item
<br />was budgeted in FY 2006 at $102,008 and was
<br />completed in March. Some savings in maintenance
<br />funding inay be realized with the new roof in place.
<br />Governmental Center Roof Replacement
<br />The roof membrane is shrinking and munerous
<br />temporary repairs have been made. Due to the
<br />saturated insulation, the entire roof needs to be
<br />replaced to prevent future leaks, Operational impact
<br />will be a decrease in repair funding.
<br />CUU 11RE AND R .CREATION:
<br />North Cabarrus Park
<br />In 1998 -99, the City of Kannapolis, Church of God
<br />Children's Home and Cabarrus County entered into
<br />two formal 20 year agreements for approximately 90
<br />acres to jointly construct a public park on Orphanage
<br />Road, Phase I construction, completed in FY 2000,
<br />consisted of entrance roadway, parking lots, picnic
<br />shelters (2), horseshoe, volleyball, and basketball
<br />courts, and landscaping. Phase 11 consisted of
<br />restrooms, a picnic shelter, trails, utilities and
<br />parking, and opened in October 2001. Phase III,
<br />being built in FY 2005, consists of pedestrian trails,
<br />boardwalks, a playground, open space areas,
<br />individual picnic sites, a large group picnic shelter,
<br />disk golf course, bocce courts, and parking lots.
<br />Collaborating with the City of Kannapolis, Cabarrus
<br />County was awarded a matching grant from the State
<br />of North Carolina for this phase. The original park
<br />concept consists of six phases. The plans for Phase
<br />iV, scheduied for FY 2012 or beyond, include nature
<br />walking trails and pedestrian bridges. Phase III in
<br />2006 will not require additional staffing such as park
<br />rangers, but will increase the amount of grounds
<br />upkeep by General Services —which will be absorbed
<br />with current staffing, As the facilities age, there will
<br />be more repairs and maintenance.
<br />Southeast Cabarrus Community Park
<br />Recognizing that there is no publicly oironed park
<br />land within tiro Southwest Cabarrus County area, this
<br />plan proposes a community park to „bc completed in
