Schools Adeauate Public Facilities Ordinance (SAPFO) -Approval of Annual <br />Certifications <br />The Board considered approving various certifications related to student membership <br />and capacity of the Orange County Schools (OCS) and Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools <br />(CHCCS) as of November 15, 2003, as outlined in the revised draft Annual Report of the <br />SAPFO Technical Advisory Committee (SAPFOTAC) and the incorporated forms. <br />Craig Benedict distributed copies of the document put on the Internet last week. He said <br />that the report is very technical. He made reference to page two of the agenda abstract and <br />explained the five general categories the Board must certify -building capacity with CIP <br />changes, student membership projection methodology, student membership projections, <br />student growth rate, and studentlhousing generation rate. He said that they are still <br />recommending using the analysis that was done in 2001 by Tischler and Associates that was <br />the basis of the school impact fees. <br />Craig Benedict addressed Commissioner Cordon's comments since the last meeting on <br />May 18t". In most cases, Commissioner Cordon's comments involved revisions to the formal <br />report and did not affect the technical information within the report. He said that he could attach <br />some comments from the Planning staff to the report if the Board wishes. He said that <br />Commissioner Gordon did bring forth some technical errors in some areas of the report. He has <br />na problem with changing these areas to make them clearer. <br />Craig Benedict said that there have been changes since November 15, 2003 such as the <br />passibility of high school #3 being delayed. This is not included in the report because it is more <br />recent information. <br />
