Senior Centers <br />Rod Visser said that these are projects that they will be talking about at a later <br />date and will be added to future work sessions and/or the Board retreat in January. <br />Chair Brown said that she is going back to a couple of the suggestions that <br />Commissioner Jacobs brought up at the beginning of the meeting as far it relates to the idea of <br />having a project manager an staff full time. In her opinion, this is not feasible but instead the <br />County could contract with a project manager. <br />John Link said that they would come back with suggestions/proposals. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis said that there has been sharing of project managers <br />between entities and this might be an option to look at. <br />Chair Brown said that the ratio of the percentage of funds that goes to the <br />schools and the County issue is an important one and she asked Commissioner Jacobs to bring <br />back a written outline and when staff brings back total indebtedness, they can discuss this <br />further. <br />Commissioner Jacobs said that only 213 of the funding now is for new school <br />construction and Commissioner Carey said that the rest is used for whatever they want. <br />Chair Brown asked if numbers could possibly be misused and Commissioner <br />Halkiotis said that of course they can. <br />Commissioner Gordon said that in the County's awn planning they can have <br />targets for budget and they have to look at what they can afford. <br />With no further items to discuss, a motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, <br />seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to adjourn the meeting at 10:05 p.m. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />Margaret Brown, Chair <br />Donna S.
