| 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 114 East Gregory Street as being suitable for their need based on location and size and are asking the Board to authorize staff to pursue acquiring appraisals and all other requirements in Section 46-139 Escambia County Code of Ordinances, in accordance with the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) Policy, dated June 2, 2011, regarding Real Property Acquisitions, in anticipation of possibly acquiring this property.
The property located at 114 East Gregory Street consists of approximately 0.66 acres and has a two story office building, which was built in 1930 and renovated in 2000 and has a total area of 14,764 square feet.
