BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: October 1, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Don Turner
SUBJECT: Shalimar Annex Project - Financial Data
DEPARTMENT: Facility Maintenance
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request Board consideration and direction regarding pending space
planning projects related to the financial data presented.
BACKGROUND: Okaloosa County is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to
lease office and records storage space from various private sector firms. Since the need for the
space being leased for the various county operations is real and ongoing, it may be in the
county's best interest to provide county owned space in lieu of the leased space.
Okaloosa County currently owns three severely underutilized properties containing a combined
space of more than 100,000 s.f. They have the potential to provide for most, or all of the current
and near term space needs of those county operations in leased properties.
Funding the renovations and replacements of the available owned properties may be possible by
leveraging the savings on future lease payments. The presentation accompanying this request
demonstrates but one of a myriad of possible scenarios that may be considered by the Board in
its decision process.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Request Board consideration and direction regarding pending space
planning projects related to the financial data presented.
