Unless the confidence of the citizenry is <br /> regained, the County will never pass another bond issue. Both systems need <br /> to have their energy costs analyzed in an effort to cut expenses. <br /> Chair Carey made reference to the Resource Allocation Study that was done <br /> by Mecklenburg County. This study led to a greater understanding by the <br /> public on spending of school funds. He encouraged both superintendents to <br /> work with the Chamber of Commerce on this. <br /> In answer to a question from Commissioner Gordon, Ralph Warren indicated <br /> that the Board of Education vote on the impact fee proposal was some for and <br /> some against. <br /> Chair Carey adjourned the meeting at 10:25. The next budget work session <br /> will be held on June 15, 1993 at 7:30 at the Homestead Community Center in <br /> Chapel Hill, North Carolina. <br /> Moses Carey, Jr. , Chair <br /> Beverly A.
