Description
Briefing of the Buncombe County Board of Commissioners on June 6, 2023. The briefing is a chance for Commissioners to review agenda items before the meeting. No motions will take place during the briefing.
A
A
B
B
All
right,
so
this
is
my
annual
presentation
for
the
fiscal,
24,
comp
and
class
plan
updates,
so
just
a
quick
overview
of
the
changes.
So
there's
been
a
lot
of
review,
Corrections
and
updates
to
our
pay
plan.
Over
this
past
20
12
months,
a
new
series,
two
new
series
of
classifications
are
coming
in
this
year.
The
first
one
is
the
assistant
director,
one
assistant
director
two,
and
the
second
is
part
of
the
internship
apprenticeship
and
fellowship
program
that
we're
in
the
process
of
building
out
the
other
that
you'll
see
is.
B
The
excuse
me
is
that
we're
trying
to
mirror
titles
to
go
into
industry
standards.
So
that
way,
when
we
do
our
next
market
review,
we
can
really
look
at
apples
and
apples.
Now,
for
example,
the
in
the
past,
we
had
Library
one
librarian,
two
librarian
three
and
the
librarian
two
were
branch
managers,
not
everybody
had
librarian
twos,
and
so
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
make
things
a
little
bit
equal
across
the
board
to
make
our
next
market
review
a
little
bit
more
seamless.
B
We
are
deleting
five
and
for
the
division
manager,
three
that
one
that
position
is
actually
going
into
our
assistant
directory,
so
we're
in
the
process
of
looking
at
what
titles
did
not
get
used
and
then
repurposing
them.
If
we
can
changes.
These
are
all
the
changes
that
are
coming
in
for
changing
titles.
You'll
see
on
the
left
is
what
the
current
title
is
and
then
what
the
change
is
going
to
be.
B
Two
pages
full
you're
going
to
see
on
the
changes
continued.
We
have
Buncombe
County
Sheriff's
Office.
That
actually
has
the
bcso
in
the
front.
The
reason
for
it
is
the
sheriff
has
a
span
of
control
over
his
positions,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
one
for
reporting
purposes
we'd
be
able
to
quickly
report
based
on
those
positions.
They're
all
in
the
same
grades,
so
they'll
be
treated
similarly
to
every
other
position.
But
when
we
do
Market
or
we
do,
Equity
he's
has
the
ability
to
assign
different
wages
than
we
do.
B
A
I
guess
thanks
for
the
update,
just
other
than
sort
of
changing
the
terminology,
to
sort
of
you
know,
update
them,
I
mean.
Does
this
have
any
other
kind
of
practical
implications,
or
is
it
just
sort
of
changing
the
time
I
mean
that
just
I
guess
what
does
it
mean
so.
B
C
D
E
E
Before
I
get
into
it
on
March
30th,
it
went
out
to
bid
bids
were
due
back
May
9th.
We
didn't
have
enough
bidders
to
open
on
May
9th,
so
we
extended
it
per
General
statute
to
the
17th.
We
had
three
bidders
Hickory
construction
being
the
lowest
bidder
before
we
get
into
the
numbers.
We'll
talk
about
a
little
bit
of
the
amenities
of
the
building,
as
well
as
the
recommended
alternates.
We'll
start
in
the
lower
right
hand,
corner
alternate
four
is
trailer
and
Equipment
storage
shelter.
E
This
covers
50
200
square
feet
and
it
would
allow
shelter
for
our
large
equipment
items
like
the
backhoes.
The
mowers
and
trailers
tractors.
Things
of
that
nature.
Moving
clockwise
you'll
see
that
we
have
dual
EV
Chargers
located
on
opposing
ends
of
the
building.
This
will
help
accommodate
our
increasing
electric
vehicle
Fleet.
E
Our
building
envelope
has
been
designed
to
the
international
grain
constructions
code.
This
exceeds
the
requirements
of
the
North
Carolina
energy
code
to
allow
us
to
get
a
more
efficient
building,
but
we've
also
used
some
of
the
canopies
to
help
shade
the
Southwest
glazing,
to
provide
a
more
efficient
Cooling.
E
Moving
on
to
alternate
3
is
our
whole
building
generator.
It
would
allow
a
48-hour
continuous
run
time,
full
load
being
on
a
retired
Landfield
we
do
have
to
have.
The
gas
mitigation
system
consists
of
a
vapor
barrier
and
gas
detections
and
it
will
be
installed
as
well
and
then
alternate
one
requested
during
the
life
cycle.
Cost
analysis
is
our
rooftop
solar
panel
system.
E
E
Moving
to
the
interior,
you'll
see
several
high
efficiency
HVAC
equipment
with
electric
resistant
heat
in
lieu
of
natural
gas,
they're
scattered
throughout
the
exterior
perimeter,
our
interior
corridors,
the
doors
have
glass
in
them
to
share
the
daylight
into
the
interior
of
the
space.
We
have
multiple
collaboration
areas.
E
We
have
three
high
volume,
low
speed
fans
in
the
garage
for
cooling,
we're
standardizing,
workbenches
and
toolboxes,
and
we
have
the
newer
mobile
lifts.
They'll
accommodate
all
of
our
ambulances.
Our
new
EMS
command,
centers
they'll
pick
up
anything
from
a
Toyota
Corolla
to
a
city
bus,
that's
their
battery
operated
charge
at
night,
very
capable
equipment.
E
E
E
E
E
Our
base
bid
was
8
million.
Fifty
four
thousand
dollars
alternate
one
was
four
hundred
and
eighty
seven
thousand
dollars.
It's
a
solar
panel
installation,
and
that
was
requested
during
the
life
cycle.
Cost
analysis
alternate,
2
is
239
thousand
and
that's
the
mezzanine
storage
system
alternate
three
is
the
whole
building
generator
at
five
hundred
and
three
thousand
and
Alternate
four
is
a
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
for
the
trailer
storage,
shelter
and
we
can,
if
you
guys
want
I,
can
continue
through
my
presentation
and
come
back
and
we
can
go
through
the
alternates
individually.
E
If
you'd,
like
some
of
the
reasons
for
the
escalation,
the
CBRE
construction
cost
index
shows
over
those
two
years
at
26
percent
increase
due
to
escalation
and
we're
actually
below
that
we're
at
21.99
percent,
full
electrification
of
the
building
it
was
requested
during
the
life
cycle
cost
presentation
in
lieu
of
natural
gas.
This
has
a
higher
initial
cost
but
meets
the
goals
of
our
2025
strategic
plan,
promoting
environmental
and
energy
stewardship
by
reducing
our
carbon
footprint
and
then
also
installation
of
the
solar
panels,
which
was
requested
during
the
life
cycle
cost
presentation.
E
It
vacates
194
Omni
Creek
Road,
which
is
our
current
Fleet
facility,
and
allows
for
the
transfer
station
to
have
additional
space
to
address
safety
and
wait
times
and
it
vacates
52
APAC
Drive,
which
is
currently
our
grounds
facility
and
will
allow
for
the
future
Parks
and
Rec
building
our
request.
We're
requesting
to
increase
the
CIP
budget
by
one
million.
Seven
hundred
four
thousand.
Ninety
three
dollars
to
construct
the
general
Services
Fleet
facility
with
all
the
alternates.
E
E
A
I
have
just
maybe
one
question
the
and
these
are
these
are
based
on
just
cost
estimates,
but
there's
no
like
hard
bid.
That's
been
submitted.
F
A
Hasn't
been
bid
out
yet
right,
so
it's
just
no!
This
is
our
bid.
This
is
the
business
okay.
This
is
okay,
I'm!
Sorry,
thanks
for
clarifying
that
and
the
on
the
my
only
question
on
the
maybe
another
question
on
the
solar
installation,
which
of
course,
I'm
real
supportive
of
having
solar
installation,
so
Duke
will
limit
this
maximum
size
of
that
project
to
like
the
capacity
of
the
or
the
the
peak
demand
in
the
building
right
so
have
we
done
a
forecast
on
that?
A
E
A
G
That
estimate
involving
the
solar
include
30
investment,
tax
credit.
A
Not
sure
of
this
just
reflects
the
cost
to
build
it.
It
isn't
like
we
could
qualify
for
some
rebates
and
things
like
that.
There's
a
lot
of
great
new
national
rebates
that
we
might
qualify
for.
So
it
doesn't
factor
in
some
of
those
things
that
might
come
back
to
the
counties,
just
the
cost
to
build
it.
So
is
that
right,
yes,
sir,
here
I
see
Jeremiah
nodding
and
said
yes,
great
foreign.
A
And
there's
no
there's
no
battery
storage
contemplated
currently
in
the
project
right
or
Jeremiah.
Do
you
want
to
comment
on
that?
You
know
the
part
of
the
reason
I'm
asking
about
that.
Is
we
just
the
energy
environment
committee?
We
just
had
some
great
analysis
done
by
the
staff
around
retrofitting
existing
County
buildings,
where
we've
done
solar
installations
over
the
last
couple
of
years
with
battery
storage
and
I.
H
The
cost
really
outweigh
the
benefits.
That
said,
as
we
talked
about
in
in
that
environmental
subcommittee
meeting,
if
we
were
to
look
at
adding
battery
storage
for
this
facility
as
as
simply
a
demand
offset
and
energy
Arbitrage
sort
of
peak
shifting,
it
could
actually
be
much
more
attractive,
and
so
we
have
added
this
project
to
that.
H
Overall
analysis:
I,
don't
have
the
numbers
today,
but
we
have
added
it
to
that
analysis
that
we're
doing
for
battery
storage
projects
and
once
we
get
those
numbers
back,
I'm
sure
that
it's
very
possible
that
it
will
be
a
pretty
pretty
attractive
project.
But
I
don't
have
those
numbers
for
you
today.
Okay,.
A
Great
the
here's
another
question
I
think
we
I
think
I
asked
this
question
before
I'm
just
going
to
ask
it
again
there,
so
so
this
the
the
alternate
alternates
do
have
this
full,
like
basically
aside
from
whether
there's
ever
any
Battery
Systems
to
go
along
with
the
PV
system.
There's
a
backup
generator
system
for
this
building
right.
Are
there
backup
generator
systems
for
the
existing
facilities
that
this
one
is
replacing?
A
E
Correct
we
have
one
on
the
maintenance
facility,
that's
a
whole
building
generator.
We
have
one
at
Fleet
that
will
power
Parts
like
a
lift
and
the
air
compressor,
but
it
doesn't
do
the
whole
building
and
we
have
the
capability
to
connect
a
mobile
generator
at
our
grounds
facility.
A
Yeah
so,
but
this
would
be
much
more
robust
right
like
whole
building
and
I.
Guess,
that's
my
question.
I
mean
some
buildings
are
so
essential.
You
know
you
think
about
your
911
Center.
You
think
about
you,
know
your
hospital
things
like
that,
of
course,
where,
like
you
can
never
be
offline
like
it
must
be
for
safety,
public,
health
and
safety
reasons,
it's
got
to
be
operational
all
the
time,
so
a
lot
of
redundancy
is
worth
investing
in
and
I
guess
I
just
kind
of
thinking
about
this
facility.
A
You
know
when
we
have
a
you
know:
pretty
reliable
electrical
grid,
I
mean
everybody's
power
flickers
every
now
and
then,
but
you
know,
but
if
it
did
go
off,
for
you
know
a
half
a
day
or
a
day
or
something
there's
a
big
storm
and
a
tree
goes
across
the
line
somewhere
up.
There
doesn't
strike
me
as
like.
That's
the
be
an
inconvenience
but
I
guess
that
I
guess
that's
the
that
would
be
the
piece
of
it.
I
would
have
the
most
question
about.
F
E
It
does
that
is
where
we
house
our
our
EMS
vehicles,
our
ambulances
and
those
required
to
be
plugged
in
all
the
time.
If
they
you
know
discharge,
it
can
cause
damage
to
the
vehicle.
So
those
are
all
of
our
EMS
and
our
Sheriff
patrol
cars
are
also
serviced.
E
But
that's
correct
our
backup.
Ambulances
are
parked.
There
I
think
there's
five
there
currently
at
our
current
facility
Fleet
facility.
A
E
It
would
have
the
capability
of
supporting
many
other
functions
if,
if
folks
needed
a
place
to
come,
we've
got
large
meeting
areas.
You
know
in
the
event
of
any
kind
of
a
natural
disaster.
D
Commissioner,
this
is
our
Operation
Center
when
it
not
Emergency
Operations,
but
all
of
our
Fleet
should
we
have
a
hurricane
or
even
a
winter
storm
which
is
more
typical
for
us.
This
is
the
group
that
has
to
come
and
get
our
roads
cleared
and
our
sidewalks
and
our
parking
lots
cleared
out
before
staff
can
come
to
work
or
before
anyone
can
access
our
buildings.
So
this
is
truly
our
operations
center.
Almost
that
you
would
think
for
our
city.
Public
works.
This
is
that
crew.
A
All
right,
those
are
my
questions,
other
any
other
questions.
A
All
right
any
other.
Well,
there's
no
other
questions.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
Thank
you
all
right
great.
Thank
you.
Thanks
for
the
updates
all
right
up
next
is
the
composting
drop-off
sites,
interlocal
agreement
with
the
city
of
Asheville.
F
Good
afternoon
Commissioners,
oh
there,
it
is
I'm
here
today
to
discuss
next
steps
for
our
food
scraps
drop-off
program.
F
So,
just
to
Center
the
discussion
and
kind
of
remind
you
all
about
the
work
that
we've
done
so
far,
and
the
data
that
we've
collected
leading
up
to
this
point
and
influencing
these
next
steps.
So
we
found
that
35.2
percent
of
County
residential
landfilled
materials
are
in
fact
compostable,
and
that
was
found
in
our
2022
waste
characterization
study
that
we
contracted
with
SCS
to
perform
number
two.
F
Forty
eight
thousand
two
hundred
tons
of
County
residential
compostables
per
year
are
landfilled
and
that
was
found
as
part
of
the
2022
waste
diversion
study
also
performed
by
SCS
and
so
across
sectors
about
33
000
tons
of
food
waste
are
generated
per
year,
and
that
was
the
nrdc
estimated
that
figure
in
2021
as
part
of
a
city,
county-wide
study,
and
so
all
in
all,
diverting
Organics
away
from
the
landfill
is
going
to
contribute
to
our
waste
reduction
goals
and
it
also
reduces
greenhouse
gas
emissions
emissions,
as
called
for
in
the
Strategic
plan.
F
So,
just
a
a
brief
update
about
our
drop-off
program,
it
officially
opened
to
the
public
in
October
2021,
with
one
site.
Now
we
have
expanded
to
eight
current
sites,
five
of
which
are
at
libraries.
We
have
an
amazing
partnership
with
the
libraries
and
it's
just
worked.
It's
just
been
so
successful
and
we
are
so
thankful
for
their
support
and
partnership.
F
We
ask
number
of
people
within
the
household,
because
that
gives
us
a
more
accurate
picture
of
how
many
people
are
actually
using
these
sites,
and
we
also
learned
that
approximately
65
percent
were
not
actively
composting
prior
to
program
participation,
which
I
think
is
a
really
positive
statistic
in
showing
Community
engagement
for
this
program
and
that's
just
a
really
awesome
result
of
our
program.
F
So
this
interlocal
agreement
outlines
roles
and
responsibilities
for
both
the
city
and
the
county.
On
the
county
end.
We
will
oversee
facility
management
and
maintenance
needs
for
any
sites
on
County
property
we
will
also
be
in.
We
will
also
manage
the
hauler
Communications
and
logistics
for
all
Sites.
F
I
You
I
will
add
one
thing
here:
I
was
just
thinking
about,
we've
been
hearing
about
bear
issues
and
I
do
think
about
with
the
composting.
If
people
more
people
will
up
for
this
program
rather
than
putting
it
in
their
trash,
that
could
help,
and
so
people
can
go
as
bear
wise,
I
think,
bearwise.com
or
bearwise.org
and
start
educating
themselves
around
some
of
the
issues
that
we're
having
with
bears
so
I
just
really
appreciate
what
you
all
are
doing
with
this
program
and
and
I
hear
from
the
folks
at
the
libraries
and
they
love
it.
Awesome.
I
F
A
All
right
next
update
is
update
on
solar
project
installations
and
Jeremiah
Leroy
will
help
us
out
with
this.
H
Hey
end
of
the
awkward
silence
okay,
so
we
understood
that
there
were
a
handful
of
questions
in
some
recent
meetings
about
the
status
of
the
Solar
projects
that
you
all
approved,
and
so
I
wanted
to
give
you
a
quick
update.
So,
as
you
remember,
we
did
a
pretty
robust
group
of
solar
projects
more
than
any
other
local
government
in
North
Carolina.
By
far
and
the
phase
one
projects
are
really
underway,
many
of
them
are
complete,
so
I
wanted
to
give
you
kind
of
this
brief
update
here.
H
All
the
ones
in
green
that
you
see
are
are
complete
or
substantially
complete.
The
ones
on
my
right
there
that
are
in
yellow
are
the
ones
that
are
still
ongoing,
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
little
bit
more
of
an
update
on
the
ongoing
one
still
here
in
just
a
second
just
as
a
quick
reminder.
Original
project
cost
was
about
2
10.2
million
dollars.
We
did
have
a
budget
amendment
several
months
ago
for
six
hundred
thousand
to
cover
some
increased
costs
of
solar
panels.
H
The
good
news
there
is
that
we
have
received
over
a
million
dollars
in
solar
rebates
and
so
that
600
000
has
been
at
least
offset
with,
with
some
rebates
obviously
still
left
over
so
and
just
as
a
quick
reminder
total
estimated
lifetime.
Savings
of
these
projects
is
estimated
to
be
a
little
over
15
million
dollars.
H
The
ongoing
projects,
as
you
saw,
the
ones
at
the
County
schools,
are
exclusively
the
ground
mounted
sites.
There
was
a
much
more
extended
review
process
for
those,
so,
in
addition
to
the
various
delays
that
covet
caused
through
this
entire
project,
there
was
some
extended
delays
based
on
review
processes.
Those
are
now
complete.
All
of
those
projects
are
now
underway.
As
we
speak.
The
two
parking
deck
canopies
on
both
of
our
parking
decks
here
in
downtown
have
always
been
intended
to
be
the
very
last
projects
done.
H
They
are
very
complex
and
the
contractor
wants
to
focus
on
them
exclusively,
though.
That
said,
if
you
had
a
chance
to
go
into
the
parking
deck
in
the
last
couple
of
days,
they
are
actually
wiring
it
as
we
speak,
so
they
are
running
a
ridiculous
amount
of
conduit
over
there
yesterday
and
today,
Lucy
Herring,
a
Nashville
city
school
is
has
has
recently
been
approved
for
some
pretty
major
Renovations.
So
in
addition
to
a
bunch
of
new
HVAC
equipment,
Etc,
it's
also
getting
a
new
roof.
So
we're
waiting
so
simple
answer.
H
H
So
we
do
have
about
10
facilities,
10
County
facilities,
where
we've
installed
solar
to
date,
and
we've
got
some
pretty
decent
data
on
the
savings
that
we've
seen
from
those
10
facilities,
so
in
FY,
22
you're,
looking
at
about
147
thousand
dollars
that
we
spend
on
our
electric
bill
for
those
facilities
year
to
date
and
during
the
10
months
that
we've
done
so
far.
That's
67
000.
So
it's
again
not
a
full
year,
but
it's
showing
that
there's
a
real
difference
and
just
to
give
you
some
more
context
there.
H
The
average
monthly
bill
for
those
10
facilities
was
a
little
over
ten
thousand
dollars,
and
now
it's
just
a
little
over
six.
So
we're
seeing
real
savings
and
that's
with
some
of
these
not
being
online
for
the
entire
FY
23
and
with
having
an
eight
percent
utility
rate
increase
during
that
same
time
period.
So
we're
seeing
real
savings
from
these
from
these
installations
additional
future
projects.
H
We
had
some
in
FY
22
that
were
funded
East,
Asheville
Library,
the
firing
range,
as
well
as
a
couple
of
Community
Partners
that
we
didn't
fund,
but
we
sort
of
helped
facilitate
those
processes.
Those
projects
are
now
complete.
We've
got
four
additional
County
Schools,
as
well
as
the
judicial
complex
that
our
FY
23
projects.
H
They
are
under
contract
and
currently
underway,
they're,
just
in
the
very
early
stages
of
development,
however,
and
we
do
plan
on
a
couple
of
more
for
Air
flight
24,
Hull,
Fletcher
and
Claxton
Elementary,
both
needed
new
roofs
at
the
time
that
we
did
the
original
assessment.
They
now
have
new
roofs
and
so
they're
on
the
list
for
the
next
go-round
and
the
same
can
be
said
for
the
Inca
AP
Tech
campus
Building.
H
Yeah,
so
those
were
for
fire
departments
absolutely
so
the
short
version
is
we
have
reached
out
to
all
the
fire
departments.
We
had
initial
meetings
with
all
the
fire
departments,
we've
done
site
assessments
for
all
the
fire
departments
and
we're
currently
doing
the
design,
the
initial
design
work
for
the
fire
departments,
and
it's
looking
like
probably
early
summer.
H
That
will
have
most
of
that
design,
work
complete
and
then,
probably
within
a
few
weeks
of
that,
we'll
be
able
to
put
a
bit
together
right
and
put
an
RFP
out
and
then
it's
just
a
matter
of
you
know
getting
bids
going
through
that
process
so
optimistically,
which
I
like
to
be
optimistic.
You
know
end
of
the
summer
we'd
like
to
see
something
out
and
get
some
bits
back,
hopefully
into
the
summer.
Early
fall
at
the
absolute
latest.
H
Had
about
a
dozen
or
a
dozen,
even
even
12,
actually
right
now
now
I
will
say
that
during
the
assessment
process,
it's
possible
that
one
or
two
may
be
taken
off
the
list,
because
the
viability
of
that
site
is
is
not
great
right,
whether
structural
reasons
or
some
French
Broad,
for
example,
is
looking
at
potentially
doing
some
pretty
major
renovations
if
they
get
the
funding
to
do
it.
So
we
would
put
a
hold
on
that,
but
about
a
dozen
altogether
right
now,.
A
H
I
believe
so,
just
again,
pretty
high
level
estimates
at
this
point,
but
you
never
know
what
anything
costs
until
you
get
a
bid
back,
but
our
initial
cost
estimates.
Yes,
I
believe
that
the
money
that's
been
allocated
should
cover
that
cost.
H
G
Questions,
I,
guess
a
comment
or
a
question:
I
couldn't
help
but
notice
you
mentioned
in
the
beginning
about
how
you
know
our
county
is
ahead
of
others
in
the
state
and
I'm
sure.
That's
going
to
be
true,
once
you're
done
with
processing
that
your
your
storage
research,
assuming
we
deploy
some
of
that
sure.
The
economics
like
it's
amazing,
I,
guess
I
I
I
would
ask
the
question
like
how
can
we
get
you
on
the
road
and
help
educate
other
counties
about
just
the
I?
Don't
know
the
savings.
H
This
is
a
terrific
question
and
I
would
actually
answer
that
with
we
already
have,
and
in
fact
I've
had
many
of
my
colleagues
across
the
state
say
that
the
Buncombe
County
has
been
an
inspiration
for
their
jurisdictions
to
take
on
a
lot
of
these
projects
themselves.
H
Charlotte
is
slowly
catching
up
with
us,
but
I'm
not
going
to
let
them
and
they
have
a
lot
more
buildings
than
we
do
so,
there's
only
so
much
we
can
do
but
I
think
we're
starting
to
see
pretty
widespread
adoption
of
these
types
of
initiatives
across
the
state.
We're
thinking
well.
Thank
you.
H
We
have
a
pretty
robust
sort
of
network
of
sustainability
directors
across
the
southeast,
and
so
we
talk
to
each
other
a
lot
and
I
brag
a
lot,
because
I
can,
because
we
are
ahead
of
the
game,
but
in
fact
I
I
met
with
them
just
recently
to
start
to
share
the
results
of
that
storage
study.
For
that
very
reason
to
show
them
that
you
know
once
you've
installed
these
PVC
systems,
you're
you're
going
to
be
silly
not
to
install
storage,
in
addition
to
because
the
the
financials
of
it
are
just
terrific.
G
That's
great
to
hear,
and
let
us
know
how
we
might
be
able
to
help
with
that
sort
of
absolutely
writing
the
word,
because
it
can
be,
can
come
across
differently.
We
we
try
absolutely
For,
Better
or
Worse.
A
All
right
all
right!
Thank
you,
sir
I
appreciate
the
great
update.
Okay.
The
last
item
on
the
staff
updates
is
the
reallocation
of
FY
23
budget
items
and
Robert
Brown
and
is
here
to
help
us
out
with
us.
Thank
you
for
being
here,
sir.
J
J
The
reallocation
is
intended
to
be
two
parts.
The
first
part
is
to
amend
the
budget
for
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
a
temporary
West
Asheville
EMS
base
to
be
located
at
the
Asheville
Primary
School
site
and
150
000
for
the
feasibility
study
that
we
previously
discussed
for
the
Asheville
Primary
School
site.
J
Of
course,
the
feasibility
study
determines
where
the
temporary
or
temporary
and
mobile
EMS
site
will
be
on
Asheville
primary
and
then
the
second
part
is
to
create
a
new
budget
of
six
million.
Six
hundred
thousand
dollars
out
of
the
total
for
a
permanent
EMS
base
in
the
eastern
part
of
Buncombe,
County
and
that'll
be
located
contiguous
to
the
Owen
pool.
J
Show
you
sort
of
an
image
of
of
what
we're
talking
about
on
Asheville
Primary
School
site,
that's
just
a
a
placeholder
location.
Of
course.
The
feasibility
study
would
determine
its
reality
and
and
what
place
on
the
site
it
would
be
at
Owen
pool
it.
Is
the
U.S
70
old,
U.S
70
Highway
right
off
of
that
in
the
front
parking
lot
area
of
the
pool
it's
in
Swannanoa.
J
K
G
I
And
So,
based
on
the
EMS
study
that
we
had
said
this
Eastern
base
that
location
fits
in
really
well
with
what
we
learned
from
that
study.
