Commissioner Yuhasz said that the County Commissioners have talked over the last few years about having a meeting room or a study and he would like to see some funding set aside to work on a meeting room. He asked if there was any money allocated for this. Commissioner Jacobs asked Paul Laughton about money left over from the Link Center upgrade so far and he said that the current cash balance in the project is $16,071. In the CIP, there is $425,000 of possible alternative financing that the Board has not approved yet. Commissioner Jacobs suggested putting this item on a work session agenda in the fall and establishing criteria and charging someone to bring back and analysis. He is not suggesting adding money at this time. Frank Clifton said that the project for the Link Center was to be about $1 million but the County Commissioners have not allocated any money yet for that. Commissioner McKee echoed Commissioner Jacobs' comments to discuss this at a work session in the fall. The Board then declared intent on the additional items.

Clarence Grier made reference to the scenarios at the County Commissioners' places for if the Board chooses to raise the per-pupil allocations. He said that $1.7 million went to current expense and the other million went to pay-as-you-go capital. He went through the tax rate scenarios and the increase in revenue for various tax rate increases. The CHCCS district tax could be decreased to balance out the increase. Paul Laughton went through the handout with scenarios to get to 48.1% of the general fund to the schools. Chair Pelissier asked the Board if they agreed with the $52.00 per pupil. The Board agreed to show its intent to add an additional $52.00 per pupil to the recommendation.
