Background and Discussion:

Commercial Paper Series D-3 can be used for (1) construction of public works, (2) the purchase of automobiles, equipment and machinery, including computers, materials and supplies for the operation of the County’s precincts and departments (3) Professional services, including services provided by engineers, architects, attorneys, auditors, financial advisors, and fiscal agents, in connection with the contractual obligations described in (1) and (2).

 

Commercial Paper is being requested for the Trini Mendenhall Community Center Improvements project and is expected to be repaid within the next three fiscal years either through bonds, budgetary means or pay-as-you-go sources.  This is for approval for allocation of commercial paper for a previously approved project within the previously authorized amount.

 

HB 1869 compliance confirmed by: Paige Abernathy, Special Assistant County Attorney, 4/15/2024.

 

 

 

Expected Impact:

This project plans to upgrade and replace the aging HVAC/fire safety equipment and raise the ceiling at the Trini Mendenhall CC. The HVAC and safety equipment upgrades (including fire alarms, fire sprinklers, and security cameras) are necessary with the recent expansions to the community center, including the addition of office space and will increase the capacity of the HVAC and safety systems.

 

Alternative Options:

Keeping the facility as is will make the expanded office space inefficient. Not repaving the parking area may cause road safety concerns
