Subject:RENOVATION OF WAKEFIELD TAYLOR COURTHOUSE
equity interest in the 4th floor of the Wakefield
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Taylor Courthouse in exchange for the AOC’s vacation of its equity interest in the
Court-occupied space in the County Finance Building. In addition, under the Settlement
Agreement, the parties agreed to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for
the AOC to pay the County to renovate the 4th floor of Wakefield Taylor.
In the November 19, 2009 Board Order, staff informed the Board that the MOU was
under development and would later be brought to the Board for approval. The MOU has
now been negotiated, has been signed by the Court and the AOC, and is ready for Board
approval. A copy of the MOU is attached to the Board Order as Exhibit “A.”
Under the MOU, the AOC will pay the County for all costs of remodeling the 4th floor of
the Wakefield Taylor Courthouse, which costs are estimated to be $563,452. The
payment to the County covers compensation for all remodeling work performed by
County personnel and outside contractors. Thus, the MOU is revenue neutral as to the
County.
Consistent with the Settlement Agreement previously approved by the Board, the
General Services Director recommends that the Board approve the MOU and authorize
its execution by the General Services Director or his designee.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the remodeling work is not performed or is delayed, this could potentially affect the
Court's ability to continue providing collection services for court-related fees and fines
and other County fees under the existing Collection Services MOUs between the County
and the Court. In addition, if the MOU is not approved, this would deprive General
Services personnel of an opportunity to perform fully-compensated work and could be
inconsistent with the previously-approved Settlement Agreement, which references an
MOU for the AOC to pay the County to perform the remodeling work.
