Lucinda Munger said that this will be part of <br />the discussion process. <br />PUBLIC COMMENT: <br />Elizabeth Read, Executive Director of the Alliance for Historic <br />Hillsborough, said that they are in full support of exploring the future of the <br />Heritage Center. She said that the agenda item abstract stated that the Heritage <br />Center was not a core function of the library. She said that they believe that it is <br />premature to remove the Heritage Center discussion out from under the umbrella <br />of the library system before the work group meets. They are willing to discuss <br />the pros and cons of all possible options. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by <br />Commissioner Hemminger to adopt the proposed Charge and Composition of <br />the Heritage Center Work Group with an understanding that this action does not <br />obligate the County to assume ownership or financial support of such an <br />enterprise. <br />Commissioner Jacobs thanked staff for thorough information and for <br />inviting partners from Chapel Hill. <br />Commissioner Nelson said that he hoped this group will be open to all <br />ideas, a standalone center or part of the library. He thinks that this would get off <br />the ground quicker as a standalone non-profit. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />e. Capital Proiect Ordinance Amendments <br />The Board considered approving amendments to capital project <br />ordinances for projects which exceed the current project ordinance <br />appropriations and to make other corrections to the capital project ordinances as <br />described. <br />Laura Blackmon made reference to the pink sheets which included a <br />revised abstract (rose sheet) incorporating the CHCCS Capital Project Ordinance <br />(light pink sheet -Attachment 2-d) and Lands Legacy Capital Project Ordinance <br />(Attachment 2-dd- rose sheet). She said that Commissioner Gordon had asked <br />that the Lands Legacy Capital Project Ordinance be added for consideration for <br />the additional funding from the alternative financing that was approved in April. <br />Financial Services Director Gary Humphreys said that the rose sheets <br />revised abstract and Attachment 2-dd) are revised because there were some <br />typographical errors and other minor changes. He said that the main purposes <br />of the capital project ordinances, sections 1 and 2, are to cover projects that <br />need additional money because they were over budget. <br />Commissioner Hemminger said that there is still disagreement with the <br />school system about some of these numbers. She said that it is time to close the <br />accounts out. <br />Gary Humphreys said that the numbers of the sales tax were discussed <br />with the school board and there was agreement. <br />
