In the other alternative, the Orange County <br /> Board of Commissioners would perform the methodology <br /> maintenance and calibration and provide the other MOU <br /> parties with an opportunity to object to any change. Any <br /> objection would call for the changed parameter to be <br /> approved by all MOU parties before it is effective. As to <br /> the methodology maintenance and calibration, it is worth <br /> noting that the long term viability of the Adequate Public <br /> Facilities MOU and Ordinance depends on long term agreement <br /> among the parties of the methodology used in their <br /> application. <br /> School building capacity will be founded on State <br /> and school district guidelines, the latter being developed <br /> by the School Boards and the Board of County Commissioners <br /> and approved by each. School building capacity projections <br /> will combine school building capacity with projected <br /> opening dates of schools under construction, closing dates <br /> of any schools proposed to be closed and projected opening <br /> dates of schools in the 10 year CIP for which funding has <br /> been committed as the result of an approved bond issue, an <br /> approved installment purchase agreement or other funding <br /> source. <br /> The work group also offers the following comments <br /> with respect to concerns about affordable housing and <br /> capacity within a school district among towns. <br /> 1 . Affordable ho ,sin. Affordable housing is <br /> addressed in the November 2000 letter from Moses Carey to <br /> the Mayors of Carrboro, Chapel Hill and Hillsborough and <br /> the Chapel Hill-Carrboro and Orange County Board of <br /> Education Chairs that is with this memorandum. It continues <br /> to be the opinion of the work group members that what is <br /> stated in that November 2000 letter pertains. Reserving <br /> certificates to accomplish other, albeit very worthy public <br /> policies, subjects the adequate public schools facilities <br /> program to substantial legal risk. The members of the work <br /> group also think that stand-alone affordable housing <br /> projects, because of their small size, are unlikely to be <br /> denied a certificate and therefore will have minimal impact <br />
