Commissioner Yuhasz made reference to page 26 and the Transfer to Orange High Track and Football Field Project and said that he cannot find the other side of it that would correspond to the transfers. Donna Coffey said that this was done prior to the current year, and that is how project ordinances are set out. Commissioner Yuhasz said that it would be helpful if the project ordinances were somehow identified so that when they are referenced in another project ordinance that there be some code so that they could be tracked. Commissioner Yuhasz said that page 27 includes the CIP that was approved several weeks ago with the understanding that the specific items approved through this budget item would be held until the Board had an opportunity to consider the budget. The Board has not considered the budget yet. He said that this seems premature. Donna Coffey said that this was not her understanding at the May 5th meeting. Commissioner Jacobs said that his understanding was that the Board was approving page 27 in principle and then would finalize it when it approved the budget. He understood that the amounts were more placeholders and less than decisions. Donna Coffey said that these could be amended at anytime. Laura Blackmon said that some of these will come back in the context of bids or contracts. Commissioner Pelissier said that some of these amounts are presented differently than last time. She said that the Board needs consistent information. Donna Coffey said that last year the Board of County Commissioners approved project ordinances on May 1St and adjustments were made during the budget process. Commissioner Gordon pointed out the first page with the Project Authorized for April 2009 Debt Issuance. She asked why there was a discrepancy between the first page and page 27 for Office and Library. Donna Coffey said that a project ordinance amendment was done after the CIP was issued. Commissioner Gordon said that, to her, bringing back the Capital Project Ordinance is to reaffirm the CIP and not change it. She asked if there would be more changes if this is brought back. Donna Coffey said that if the Board approves this and then wants to amend it, then she will bring it back reflecting the changes. A motion was made by Commissioner Yuhasz, seconded by Commissioner Hemminger to approve County and School Capital Project Ordinances as shown in the abstract. Commissioner Gordon asked to amend the motion to make it clear that it does not include the Lands Legacy project, Millhouse Road project, or the Twin Creeks project but that these items will be brought forward as soon as possible.
