| BACKGROUND: |
The County Corrections Department had several corrections divisions and related functions located at the County-owned building at 2251 North Palafox Street, including Electronic Monitoring, Probation Pre-Trial, Check Division, Jail and Corrections Accounting, and Corrections Administrative Staff. The building facility was severely damaged by the recent rain and flooding event and these corrections functions are being housed at various County buildings. The building is being evaluated to determine the extent of damage, costs to repair and what insurance coverage the County will receive.
Given the history of flooding at this facility, the Corrections Department would like to relocate their functions and have tentatively identified the property at 6400 North "W" Street as being suitable for their needs and are asking the Board to authorize staff to pursue the appraisal of this property. This property was one of fifteen properties reviewed by Corrections and Facilities staff. However, staff will also, with Board direction, advertise an Request of Letters of Interest (RLI) to ensure no option has been overlooked. Board approval is required for staff to proceed under the requirements of Section 46-139, Escambia County Code of Ordinances. |
