EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The County last completed a Facilities Master Plan (FMP) in 2011, before the purchase and relocation of Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) to the south campus and the development of the replacement jail. The study as such (including employee growth projections) is entirely out of date. Most County Departments are currently out of space to house even their current needs, and the Board previously voiced an interest in selling 1127 1st St. As such, it appears that it's time to commence a master planning process that will help guide the County's facilities needs for the next two decades.
