ITEMS FOR DECISION <br />7. SCHOOL CAPITAL EXPANSION REQUESTS FOR ORANGE HIGH SCHOOL AND <br />THE GLENWOOD/ESTES HILLS MULTIPURPOSE SPACE <br />Ken Thompson presented for discussion several funding <br />approaches for the orange High School expansion requests and the <br />Glenwood/Estes Hills Multipurpose Space. <br />Director of Finance Gordon Baker explained two alternatives for <br />funding both projects. These are listed on pages 145-146 of the agenda. <br />He mentioned three items as possible sources for funding: (1) bond <br />issue, (2) the additional one-half cent sales tax, and (3) the property <br />tax dedicated to school capital. He indicated that in order to keep the <br />present projects on schedule and do the additional projects, another <br />source of revenue would need to be considered. He noted that the money <br />designated for roofs far 86-87 and 87-88 in the amount of 376,000 had <br />been removed and applied to the cost of these two projects. <br />Commissioner Marshall emphasized the need to stay on schedule <br />for all projects. She suggested that the original schedule be <br />maintained; that the High School and Multipurpose projects be approved <br />and that consideration be given, as a first priority for funding these <br />projects, to the half cent sales tax. <br />Commissioner Lloyd expressed reservation in approving any <br />additional projects without a definite source of funding. <br />Cammissioner Carey expressed concern with postponing any of the <br />projects scheduled for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School System. He <br />indicated his unwillingness to approve the entire project for the Orange <br />County Schools without knowing the source of funding. He supported the <br />approval of the base project and the paving of the parking lot which are <br />both within the level of funding available. A decision needs to be made <br />later in the summer on the additional alternatives for funding. <br />
