Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Workers began tearing down old buildings along South Orange Blossom Trail on Friday to make way for the new Orlando Police Headquarters.

Construction of the new $40 million building won't start until April, but a demolition crew must clear the site. Before the city bought it, the Parramore property was a Lynx bus depot, and an elementary school years before that. City officials expect the new police station to be finished in the summer of 2016.

It would sit along a relatively rundown stretch of Orange Blossom Trail between South and Anderson streets, about a mile west of downtown near the Citrus Bowl. Mayor Buddy Dyer hopes it will be a catalyst for redevelopment.

"Not only will we have a new community-friendly, up-to-date building, but it's also going to help us with the revitalization of South Orange Blossom Trail and this whole area of town," said Dyer, who climbed into an excavator Friday to ceremoniously knock down a chunk of the old Lynx building.

Orlando officials have been pushing for a new police station to replace the current one Hughey Avenue for more than 15 years, and came close to building one under former Mayor Glenda Hood.

There's renewed haste now because the city has sold the current police station to the Orlando Magic, which plans to tear it down after the new one opens. The team plans to use the land to build a $200 million entertainment complex of offices, shopping and dining space, apartments and more.

The current police station opened in 1972 as the Municipal Police-Court Complex. It housed the police headquarters, two city courtrooms and a jail designed to hold 300 prisoners. At the time, the city had 253 officers; today there are 743 officers and another 229 civilian employees.

The building was designed to late-1960s standards, before offices were built to accommodate computer networks.

The courtrooms and jail eventually closed. The space previously taken up by the jail which isn't air-conditioned has sat empty since the county took over the job of housing lawbreakers in the jail on 33rd Street.

The new, 94,500-square-foot police station is designed to accommodate the department's more modern operations and will feature up-to-date technology, Chief John Mina said. Unlike the current location, the new site will include plenty of public parking, and the building includes space for community meetings.

Demolition starts on site of new OPD headquarters

Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru (SP)

Mangaluru, Dec 13: The state high court (HC) has directed Dakshina Kannada district deputy commissioner to raze to the ground a building constructed by former zilla panchayat president, Sucharita Shetty, in Kadandale village in Mangaluru taluk. The order came in the form of judgment relating to a petition filed by Shanta Shetty from Kadandale village, alleging that Shetty had built an RCC building in the agricultural land owned by her in that village..

Justice Mohan Reddy, who heard the case, noted that Sucharita Shetty had constructed an RCC building in agricultural land illegally without obtaining prior permission as required from the panchayat development officer. He ordered for the eviction of people living in the building, demolition of the building in question, and also collection of fine for constructing a building by violating rules in vogue.

The single judge bench also instructed the DC to take suitable action against extension officer of the taluk, and Paladka gram panchayat development officer, Rajendra Prasad Shetty, for not taking action to stop illegal construction of building by Sucharita Shetty in agricultural land. The bench noted that these officials were fully aware of the fact that this building was coming up in agricultural land in violation of Karnataka Land Reforms Act, and hence their failure to act is tantamount to dereliction of duty.

Shanta Shetty owns land in Kadandale, and Sucharita Shetty had taken initiatives to construct a building in her land. Shetty had argued that he has a share in the said property. Shanta had filed a suit against Shetty in a subordinate court, but during this period, the building construction was completed.

Aggrieved by this, Shanta Shetty had approached the HC seeking demolition of this structure. The HC, in addition to ordering demolition of the building, also instructed the subordinate court to dispose of the civil suit pending before it before February 2015.

Memphis International Airport has hired a former American Airlines network planner to help increase service at the airport.

The Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority has tapped Will Livsey to serve as its new Senior Manager of Air Service Research and Development.

Livsey will be responsible for researching, developing and executing a significant increase in air service at Memphis International, which has lost dozens of flights following the downsizing of Delta Airlines service at the airport.

Livsey will work to maintain the airports current level of service and identify markets for additional air service and routes. He will also serve as a liaison between Mid-South passengers and the airlines, including meeting with regional corporate, leisure and convention travel executives in order to help the airport target appropriate destinations.

Livsey, a Memphis-area native, holds a bachelors degree in language and world business from the University of Tennessee and a Master of Business Administration in aviation from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

He has worked for American Airlines since 2008, most recently as a senior analyst for Network Development, where he was responsible for new domestic route identification and forecasting.

In October, the value of the pension fund that pays benefits to Shelby County retirees stayed around the $1.1 billion mark, where its been for most of 2014.

Thats according to the most current figures, released this week, showing the funds value having climbed to $1.12 billion, up from a little more than $1 billion in October 2013.

As of Oct. 31, the largest percentage asset allocation in the plan consisted of U.S. stocks, and their performance has helped the funds asset value.

Home Builders Group Welcomes New President

A new revenue ceiling proposed by the Small Business Association (SBA) could significantly alter the landscape for IT resellers by excluding a large number of small businesses from the federal IT reseller market, according to the E-Commerce Times. The SBA is proposing revisions to the size standards affecting VARs and other IT solutions providers who provide hardware, software, or both as part of projects that also involve installation, systems integration, or other IT-related services for federal agencies. The change means that companies with more than $27.5 million in annual revenue no longer qualify for small business preferences.

This proposed change is a terrible mistake that would have extreme adverse consequences for many small businesses, The E-Commerce Times quoted Lars Anderson, an attorney with Venable, in comments to the SBA on behalf of Wildflower International, a small woman-owned IT reseller.

We are looking here at some highly professional, qualified firms that provide efficient IT support to the government with proven track records in terms of federal contract performance but they just operate with well under 150 employees, unlike the really big players, Anderson told the E-Commerce Times.

Meanwhile, the SBA is defending the proposal, stating that the changes are necessary since the existing size standards that involve references to both revenue and employees have created inconsistencies, confusion, and misuse. Further, the SBA explained, contracting officers are not able to identify size elements in a government data base, which leads to misunderstandings about set-aside goals. Therefore, the use of employee counts instead of revenues may have negatively affected some small businesses, according to the administration.

Since SBA issued the proposed rule in September, more than 200 people have responded, mostly in opposition to anticipated change. One leading expert on federal contracting law, Professor Charles Tiefer, has joined with the American Small Business League (ASBL) President Lloyd Chapman in opposing the new policies, stating that they will be devastating to thousands of small businesses, according to a press release.

The release explains that the policy was derived from Congresss intent in the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, which was to allow small businesses to compete in the current federal marketplace. However, Tiefer contends, the proposed rule accomplishes exactly the opposite by eliminating the higher size standard of 150-employees and using the lower size standard of $27.5 million in receipts.

If the SBA actually adopts a final rule eliminating IT-VAR, this will have precisely the effect Congress did not want. The final rule will decrease small business size standards in the solutions sub-industry. Businesses that qualified, below the 150 employee standard, no longer will, Tiefer argues in the release.

According to Tiefer, if the SBA adopts the final rule, small businesses will be squeezed out of the federal marketplace.

Eliminating the 150 employee ceiling puts the high-employee-level type of contractor out of business, because it cannot get down under $27.5 million without a kind of radical chopping it cannot handle i.e., switching to a business model of fewer employees, and, laying off a third (50) or more employees, states Tiefer.
