He said that the County <br /> Commissioners received a memo regarding the revised CIP pages. The financing changed on <br /> page 33-34 and the communications systems improvements. There is a note on the schools <br /> capital summaries. He said that the school facilities funding schedule must be guided by <br /> SAPFO and a note has been added for reference. <br /> Financial Services Director Clarence Grier made a clarification on the Eurosport soccer <br /> field on page 49. Only $623,000 of this is from the County and the rest is from the partners, <br /> bringing the total to $934,500. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said that there was some discussion about having a placeholder <br /> about a community center on Rogers Road, and he thinks that this would be a capital project. <br /> Frank Clifton said that it depends on the level of funding, but if the County <br /> Commissioners want to reserve funding, it can be put in the CIP or the County Commissioners' <br /> budget. <br /> Commissioner Hemminger said that she thought it would be better to put it in the CIP <br /> as a placeholder. She does not want to commit to moving the structure. If it is going to be <br /> over $100,000, then she thinks that it belongs in the CIP. <br />
