This would <br />move the two school systems closer to equity but still allow the Chapel <br />Hill--Carrboro system to retain some needed funds; however, no other <br />commissioner supported this proposal. Some commissioners felt that, in <br />order to continue moving toward merging, a reduction of .35 cents was <br />appropriate. It was decided that, in order to continue moving toward <br />merging, achieving equity is still an important goal. <br />A motion was made by Chair Carey, seconded by Commissioner <br />Halkiotis, to approve the Manager's adjustments to the budget plan <br />including the $26 per pupil increase, and also incorporating the changes <br />made in the course of this meeting. The County Manager was requested <br />to draft the appropriate documents for adoption at the regular June 28, <br />1994 meeting. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />Commissioner Insko requested that $10,000 be put in the Capital <br />Budget to purchase confiscated guns from the Sheriff's office. John <br />Link suggested that this be handled in the C.I.P. <br />.-The meeting was adjourned.
