Overview
The Facilities Management Department provides technical and managerial support of County buildings and properties. The department renovates, repairs, maintains, constructs, and operates County properties; manages major capital improvement projects; and monitors and tracks leases between other departments and private businesses and other governmental units. The department is also involved in the sale and purchase of County facilities and real estate.
The department has budgetary control of the operation and maintenance of multiple County properties, including the County Administration Building, Kent County Courthouse, 82 Ionia, Juvenile Detention Center, Health Department facilities (including clinics and Animal Shelter), and numerous other County facilities and properties. Approximately 1.3 million square feet of County facilities are included in the responsibilities of the department. Expenses incurred for the operation and maintenance of these properties, as well as Facilities Management Administration, are included in the department history of uses.
Already under construction, the new Human Services Complex will open in June 2009 and the new 63rd District Court facility will open in November 2009. Other projects that will move from the design stage to construction include a new Fleet Services facility, Parks Administration building, Juvenile Detention Center Support Services addition, and the Correctional Facility renovation.

Significant Budget Issues
The 2009 budget reflects an increase of approximately $1 million, primarily due to the additional maintenance and operation costs (and debt service) associated with the Human Services Complex. This increase is almost all offset by revenues from the Michigan Department of Human Services, and a smaller portion paid by the City of Grand Rapids as its share of the Area Community Services Employment Training (ACSET) charges.
Staffing figures have also been adjusted to reflect the addition and reallocation of staff to support the new facility; as well as a realignment of court security, which is charged to this budget as an operational expense of the Courthouse which is paid for, in-part, by the City of Grand Rapids on behalf of the 61st District Court.
