SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS - NONE <br />VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS <br />A. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FINANCING AND SITE ACOIIISITION <br />County Attorney Geoffrey Gledhill said that the Chapel Hill- <br />Carrboro School Board agreed to transfer the title to the County for the <br />property on which the new school will be constructed so that the financing can <br />occur. Counties are authorized to do installment financing and schools are <br />not. The County pledges the property as security for the debt and the County <br />must own it. They will lease the property back to the school for the purpose <br />of operating the school. <br />No one appeared to speak on behalf or against the proposed project <br />so the public hearing was closed. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by <br />Commissioner Halkiotis that the Board approve the proposed financing agreement <br />with Nationsbank and related documents substantially in the form presented <br />subject to review and approval by the Local Government Commission, the County <br />Attorney and the County's Bond Counsel and accept a deed from the Chapel Hill- <br />Carrboro Board of Education for the property on which the new school will be <br />constructed and located. <br />
