The State has requested that local Boards of Education prepare a survey of public school facility needs. The Board of Commissioners will be asked to review the capital needs and to submit a proposal for funding. Chair Marshall pointed out that the survey must identify those needs that are necessary to meet the criteria outlined in the Basic Education Plan. Additional figures will be available from the School Boards for the January 20 meeting. Discussion ensued on the financing of the long-range capital needs. It was the consensus of the Board that the long-range capital needs cannot be funded entirely with the pay-as-you-go method but will need to be funded with a combination of pay-as-you-go and bond issues. Before a bond issue. is pursued, an agreement must be reached between the Board of Commissioners and the two school boards on the package that will be funded and how it will be presented to the citizens of Orange County. 11. SPACE ALLOCATION PLAN (Short-term Needs) (A copy of the entire report is in the permanent agenda file) Toni Mason from CHR presented Section IV of the report which addressed the short-term needs. The renovations would take place immediately with the relocation of some of the offices to the Carr Store Building. Commissioner Carey questioned the space that the Health Department would occupy at Northside. This issue will be discussed at the next meeting. Commissioner Hartwell questioned the move of the telephone equipment and the permanency of the location. Mason indicated that the intent is that the location will be.temporary for approximately five years at which time the equipment will be moved. After a brief discussion it was the consensus that the telephone equipment -- once moved --- should remain permanently and not be moved a second time.
