He said that the projects add up <br />to $22 million in face value of certificates of participation (COPS) and include the Gravelly Hill <br />Middle School, Efland/Buckhorn water and sewer, various renovation and improvement projects <br />for the CHCCS, conservation easements, Seymour Center construction costs, planning for the <br />new Animal Services facility, and permanent financing for the Sportsplex acquisition. He made <br />reference to page 3 of the resolution, which lists each project with dollar amounts associated <br />with COPS, with a couple of exceptions. The number for the Gravelly Hill Middle School should <br />be $3.5 million, the acquisition of conservation easements should be $2 million, and the <br />Efland/Buckhorn Community Water and Sewer construction should be $500,000.
