appropriated from the one-cent property tax earmarked for purchase of future school sites. John Link summarized the <br />County Commissioners policy on the use of school/parks capital reserve funds. He has communicated to Mr. Pedersen <br />that the County Commissioners would need to approve a site before it is purchased and be actively involved in that <br />selection. <br />Commissioner Halkictis expressed concern that this request for funds was not discussed previously by the County <br />Manager and the Superintendent. He feels the County Commissioners should be actively involved with the allocation of <br />these funds. <br />Commissioner Gordon said that there are two issues that need to be discussed. The first is whether or not the <br />Meadowmont site is a viable site and second the County Commissioners need to decide what they plan to do with our <br />school/park monies. She feels the County needs a comprehensive plan. <br />John Link suggested setting some criteria using some of the ideas expressed by the School and Land Use <br />Council and the Recreation and Parks master planning committee to plan together before allocating any funds from this <br />reserve account. <br />Commissioner Carey feels that the County Commissioners now know that the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools <br />is looking for an alternative to Meadowmont and although they should have talked with us earlier, it is our responsibility <br />to help find an alternative site. <br />Chair Margaret Brown mentioned that the County Commissioners may want to set some standards for sites <br />which are donated for school sites so that the school systems have a clear understanding. <br />S.
