Donna Dean said that they have $425,000 set aside in 2005-2006 in the CIP, and if the <br />shelter will be open in 2006 then they will need money sooner. There is also an unfunded <br />section. The total for the whole facility is $2.8 million. <br />Chair Brown asked if the Board needed to approve the $2.8 million tonight. Rod Visser <br />said that they could show it as an alternative financing piece and it would be worked into the <br />debt capacity calculations. <br />Commissioner Jacobs suggested putting it in as a placeholder, but the task force was <br />supposed to discuss the type of programming for the shelter. This will drive some of the cost. <br />Chair Brown said that she would want a budget and for the task farce to work within the <br />budget. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis asked about a rough square footage and Donna Dean said <br />19,000 square feet. <br />Commissioner Carey said that a placeholder would be appropriate just far planning <br />purposes, and it could always be adjusted down. He would like to give the staff some direction <br />and put in some figure now to hold the place. <br />Commissioner Gordon would like to scrutinize the projections to find out if it is a <br />reasonable amount of money. She suggested putting a placeholder with an unknown dollar <br />amount. <br />Chair Brown and Commissioner Carey would like to put a specific amount as the <br />placeholder. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis asked for information on the capacity of the existing shelter, the <br />projected one, and why it changed. <br />Chair Brown would also like to get in touch with Greensboro and Wake County (they <br />have just built shelters) and review their requirements and costs. <br />4. SportsPlex <br />John Link said that there will be an upcoming meeting for the Board to address this <br />issue. <br />b.
