4 <br />b) Program /Staff/Facility Issues with Future Budgetary Impacts <br />The Board of County Commissioners requested during 1998 -99 budget work sessions that both <br />school systems keep the County informed on an ongoing basis to provide "early warning" about <br />initiatives that might lead to additional funding requests in future fiscal years. This topic was <br />discussed at the joint Commissioner /school board meetings last fiscal year, and has been a <br />regular topic reviewed at monthly meetings between the County Manager and the two <br />Superintendents. Discussion at this meeting may focus on new /expanded initiatives that one or <br />both school systems may be considering for 2000 -2001. <br />The Chapel Hill - Carrboro Schools have provided a document from their February planning <br />retreat outlining some of the factors expected to affect their budget in the next fiscal year <br />(Attachment 1 b). The Boards may wish to discuss the financial implications of these issues, and <br />any others that OCS or CHCCS may be considering for the upcoming fiscal year. <br />Attachment lb — 2110100 CHCCS Memo — "Background Materials for the 2000 -2001 <br />Budget' <br />c) Site Development <br />This item will afford the three boards the opportunity to discuss how school construction <br />standards should address various aspects of development of new school sites, including issues <br />such as existing vegetation, buffer requirements, and other County and municipal regulations <br />that influence environmental considerations in school site design. <br />No Attachments <br />d) Possible Co- Location of Durham Tech Satellite Campus with New High School <br />Campus <br />The Board of Commissioners recently appointed a Community College Task Force to examine <br />the feasibility of establishing a satellite campus of Durham Technical Community College in <br />Orange County. The three boards may want to discuss the possibilities for, and potential <br />benefits from, co- locating this facility with the new OCS high school to be constructed on Grady <br />Brown School Road. <br />No Attachments <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact tied directly to the discussion at this <br />meeting. However, decisions that the school boards and BOCC will make at subsequent <br />meetings are likely to have significant implications for future capital and operating budgets. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the boards discuss the issues noted <br />and provide direction to staff, as appropriate. <br />
