Randy Briggs provided a report on the confiscation of cars for repeated DWI offenses. They spent $4,000 for a place to house these automobiles and have so far towed 19 vehicles at a cost of $1300. c. Water and Sewer for New Schools (OCS) Randy Briggs said that he questions if there is assistance available to help pay for water and sewer. John Link said that they have no provision for assistance. Randy Briggs said that this is an issue that needs to be discussed. Bob Bateman asked if this is something they need to pursue with Hillsborough. d. Agreement for Providing Coordinated Facili Panning (OCS) Susan Dovenbarger expressed interest in this resolution and asked if collocating and sharing facilities would increase the cost for several groups to use the facility. John Link said that all partners would bring money with them. If it is the County talking with the school about a combination school/community park, it would be the County bringing money to the table. Susan Dovenbarger asked when those discussions would take place. John Link said that the organization which has a plan would call a meeting of all those interested parties. Larry Haverland said that they are looking at a site for a school and he asked when they go out and walk the property, if the County and other possible partners go with them. John Link said that the County would be interested in doing that. Chair Margaret Brown said that she would like for them to include the County when looking at possible sites and asked that we work together on this. Commissioner Crowther also asked not to limit collaborating to recreation but include senior centers, etc. e. Additional Funding of Capital Improvement Plan C( HCCS) Harvey Goldstein said that they wanted to remind the County Commissioners that in the discussion of the bond referendum last year, the funding that the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools received for renovations was less than their needs or less than the formula for the policy for the two school systems. On a per pupil basis and on the basis of the age of their school buildings, they will need additional funds for renovations. He made reference to the list in the packet. They have not added any new items to their wish list. John Link said that he looked back at the process they followed. The formula is for funding appropriated to the school system from sales tax, proceeds from bonds and impact fees. He recalls a Dec. 6 letter urging the board to approve option 5b, so there may need to be a further explanation of option 5b. He clarified that there was never a binding O.U. for money for renovations. Commissioner Halkiotis said that the voters did approve a change in the Chapel Hill- Carrboro City Schools district tax on the use of this tax. They are using 17.9 and the cap is 35. They can now legally use this to fund capital. He recalls a discussion where the County Commissioners did say they would try to help with the needs which were not covered by bond monies. Commissioner Halkiotis said that using the district tax is one way to pay for these unmet needs. f. Preparation of the 1998-99 Operating Budget Request C( HCCS) Nick Didow said that they have provided to the Board of County Commissioners a letter of what they have done so far with their budget. e General Updates from School districts C{ HCCS) Nick Didow said that in the interest of coordination and intergovernmental relations they do have a representative on the New Horace Williams Operations Advisory Committee.
