merger, it would be a lot better. Commissioner Jacobs asked to enter into the minutes that the difference between the cost of the school and the $27.8 million that the County Commissioners approved is $6 million. Jahn Link said that the second item to approve is the Capital Project Ordinance. The two items included, which were requested by the CHCCS Board, are the site acquisition casts based on the present appraisal value and the beginning planning funding that was cited in the resolution - $2,770,075. Also, the Board of County Commissioners should appoint a Commissioner representative or a staff representative to partner with school representatives as the project plan develops. Chair Brawn said that she thought the Board decided that the Chair should work with the school boards. Commissioner Gordon said that in the policy, it is contemplated that perhaps the person that worked on the site should work with the school board an designing the school, and she is still interested in doing this. A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to approve the capital project ordinance resolution and to appoint Chair Brown as the Commissioner representative. VOTE: UNANIMOUS 5. Remaining CountylSchools CIP Decisions Donna Dean made reference to the blue sheet and the funding alternatives for lands legacy for next year. The memorandum proposes that the County appropriate $65,000 from the school-park reserve fund ($390,000 balance) and appropriate $35,000 from the current year Commissioners' contingency that has about $37,000. This is something for the Board to consider. Commissioner Gordon read from her handout about the Lands Legacy. Her first proposal is to replenish the Lands Legacy fund by an amount of $100,000 in the way the staff proposes. Also, during the last nine years of the CIP, she proposes that the Board direct staff to restore the funding to the Lands Legacy Fund (opportunities fund) at the previous amount of $500,000 per year for the rest of the ten-year CIP. A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, to do proposal B and C as stated in her memorandum. Commissioner Halkiotis said that we should move this money to the per pupil allocation rather than Lands Legacy because children are mare important than land. Commissioner Carey agreed with him. There was no second. Commissioner Jacabs said that he agrees in principle with Commissioner Gordan, but he would rather have a discussion with staff about restoring the $300,000 instead of directing them to restore it.
