properties , and voted to request purchase approval of the subject property In response to a question from Commissioner Jeffrey P Carver , Dr Parker stated staff and the Board of Education looked at the value of the property , which is approximately 25 per square ft , and compared this to the price of constructing a new facility Several metal frame building companies estimated a cost of approximately 50 per square ft for the building shell This did not take into account lights , sprinklers , fire alarms , security system , etc Page213 July 11 , 2005 – 10 00 am Continued In response to questions from Commissioners , Ann Williams , School Facilities Director , commented that most of the old tobacco warehouses in the area are constructed on the ground level , and do not have the

that has approximately 75,000 square feet , including 10,000 square feet of office space , and three other buildings that could be used for storage The school system has been leasing the building since January 2005 for 6,000 per month , totaling 42,000 in payments at the end of July There are no apparent environmental concerns with the property , and a Phase One study is on file Ms Williams noted , if the Board approves the purchase , the Board of Education hopes to move the Front Street operations to the new site as well The Front Street building was constructed in the early 1900 ’ s , and is outdated The property would be subject to sale once the move is complete Dr Parker and Ms Williams briefly commented on the intent to revitalize the Old Smithfield - Selma High School , and move the school system administrative offices there The objective is to bring the building back to first class service , and make it a permanent part of the county’s history This will be the only three story building the school system owns once the old Meadow school comes down Ms Williams also noted the School System’s intent to add 10,000 square ft and five bays to the current school bus maintenance garage Funds from future school bond sales have been designated for both projects Commissioner Wade M Stewart expressed concern the public was not aware the revenues from school bond sales would be paying for these projects Instead , in his opinion , the public may feel the revenues were going toward building schools He questioned the maintenance costs for the three projects over the next 50 years versus the costs for a centralized location Dr Parker stated ideally the Board of Education would like to have the funds to build a centralized location , however , there are other issues the Board feels have higher priorities Ms Williams noted that previous bond packages have initially included facilities operations , although , the projects were placed on hold to build new schools instead The renovation cost for the Old Smithfield - Selma High School is estimated to be 16 million ; the lease payment for the current administrative offices is 11,000 per month Commissioner Stewart stated he recognized the historical importance of preserving the building , however , other groups would have also liked for their schools to have been preserved as well Vote Upon a motion by
