BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: February 7, 2012
TO: Honorable Members of the Board
FROM: Donald L. Turner, Facilities Maintenance Director
SUBJECT: EMS Essex Road, Ft. Walton Beach - Project Funding
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request Board to approve funding in the amount of $65,000 to
remodel the former Garniers WWTP Control Building into the EMS Essex Road building.
BACKGROUND: During the budget preparation process, the Facilities Maintenance
Department receives more capital construction projects requests than it can complete in any one
fiscal year. Funding is requested for all approved projects that are expected to begin in the year
for which the budget is being prepared. On occasion, new information comes out or
circumstances change that brings to light a strategic advantage in reordering the start/completion
schedule for the projects. Such is the case with the EMS Essex Road project.
The EMS Essex Road project was not funded in FY 2012. It is in the best interest of the county
to move the project start date to FY 2012. The cost estimate for the project is $65,000 to fully
fund the project. Funding ($45,000) was approved to remodel a portion of the second floor of the
Brackin Building for the Property Appraiser’s office that won’t be used in FY ’12. The Board
could reallocate those funds and up to $20,000 from reserves for the EMS Essex Road project.
RECOMMENDATION: Request Board to approve funding in the amount of $65,000 to
remodel the former Garniers WWTP Control Building into the EMS Essex Road building.
