Section 5. Although not a part of the County appropriation for the CHCCS High School #3 project, it is noted here for reference purposes that the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Board of Education intends to appropriate an additional $50,000 in North Carolina Department of Transportation funds from its own funding sources, bringing the project total to $35,942,000. Section 6. This ordinance supersedes the interlocal agreement dated August 7, 2003 (with subsequent Addendum "A" and Addendum "B") as the controlling instrument regarding Phase I (generally as described and defined in Addendum "A" of the August 7, 2003 interlocal agreement) of High School #3 project budget, scope, and timing. The following provisions of the previously existing interlocal agreement and addenda remain expectations of the Orange County Board of Commissioners regarding smart-growth promoting standards that the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Board of Education will incorporate into the project scope, design, and plans for Phase I and Phase II of CHCCS high school #3: 1.
