Browse Search

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