Red Cross Capital Campaign The Board asked that the staff come back with guidelines and an application form for capital requests. One question is to ask if the building is handicapped accessible and if it conforms to all land use and subdivision regulations. A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs to appropriate $7,500 in matching funds to the Red Cross Capital Campaign for this year. This will be considered again next year. Commissioner Halkiotis raised a concern about other groups coming to the County Commissioners to request money. He mentioned again about the charter school that bought land using Orange County's money, and now the state does not know what to tell them. Chair Gordon clarified that the County would give $7,500 in matching funds to the Red Cross Campaign this year, with no obligation for future years.
