Commissioner Gordon made reference to page 32 and asked about the revisions for the <br /> West Ten Soccer Complex. Donna Coffey said that she emailed these to the County <br /> Commissioners. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said that there are three different projects related to this question <br /> about transfers of Homestead Aquatic Center budget to other items. She said that there were <br /> two other items that should have an asterisk to flag those items, and these are on page 39 and <br /> page 42. She said that Chapel Hill did not need aquatic center funding as soon as thought, so <br /> it was assigned to other projects in the tune of a little over$3 million. The problem is when this <br /> money comes back. She thinks that all of the projects that have the assignment"Transfer from <br /> Homestead Aquatics Center Project' should be transferred back. She said that it is extremely <br /> confusing. <br /> Also, on page 39, the Northern Park project, and page 42, Greenway Development <br /> Reserve, there are transfers. She suggested putting asterisks to flag the items or transferring <br /> the money back. <br /> Donna Coffey said that these are transfers from a previously approved project. She <br /> suggested putting asterisks that these are from 2001 bond funds. She said that she could work <br /> with Commissioner Gordon this summer to clarify these issues. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 5. Public Hearings <br /> a.
