9 They would need a building permit from Carrboro by December 31St Commissioner Foushee asked about the site issues. Steve Scroggs said that they have two stream beds to address. The topography is positive but they have to respect the school board policy not to increase storm water run-off. Commissioner Halkiotis asked about the meeting this morning and Lisa Stuckey said that she and Commissioner Carey were at the Community Leadership Council meeting and the issue of SAPFO came up. During that discussion, she said that Commissioner Carey asked about this school opening in 2008. Commissioner Halkiotis asked if the number driving this is ten students. Steve Scroggs said that, based on SAPFO projections, they will go over 105°~ in 2007-08 if projections are consistent. Commissioner Halkiotis asked if there were any other remedies to give an extra year if needed. Steve Scroggs said that the greater concern is the delaying issuance of CAPS. Geof Gledhill said that SAPFO envisions that when you are in the position of not issuing CAPS, there have to be budget plans far new construction. If there is school overcapacity, there are no remedies to the process that the school system must stop issuing CAPS (Certificate of Adequate School Capacity). He said that the one other remedy is to put a moratorium on the implementation of SAPFO, but the other parties would have to agree. Commissioner Halkiotis said that they did this before with the high school overcrowding in CHCCS and the middle school overcrowding in OCS. John Link said that they would have to go to participating parties and tell them there is overcapacity and that there will be a moratorium on the implementation of SAPFO, otherwise, there will be chaos in the County's CIP. He said that they do not have the $10 million+ for this school, but they will have it in 2009. They have been clear with the school staff for the last year about this. He does not understand why this is unclear. Commissioner Carey said that even if they authorize the school system to go ahead, they would still have to deal with the issue of the moratorium sometime in the not too distant future. He thinks they need to move along on this school as sawn as possible. Commissioner Gordon said that her point is that on April 10th they received this information and that Elementary #10 was programmed for 2008-09. The problem is that 10 students could trigger the non-issuance of CAPS in 2007 and in 2008, the overcapacity situation is likely to occur. If they program an extra $9 million so that the school could open in 2008, she thinks that they could get around these various problems. She said that they have not even done the exercise to see the consequences of funding this a year earlier. She is asking that they figure out how to build this school in 2008. She read her recommendations as stated in her memo to the BOCC and the Manager: MOTION RELATED TO CHCCS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL #10: 1. The Board of County Commissioners will send a letter to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools stating the BOCC's commitment to providing funds for Elementary School #10 so that the school can open at the beginning of the 2008-2009 school year. The amounts and schedule far the necessary funding are shown in the attached material provided by CHCCS via Steve Scroggs. This letter will be approved by the BOCC not later than June 27, 2006 and sent to the CHCCS School Board. 2. The BOCC will change the County CIP and the CHCCS CIP to show the funding of Elementary School #10 on a schedule to open at the beginning of the 2008-2009 school year, and incorporate those changes when adopting these Capital Investment Plans on June 27, 2006. 3. The BOCC will instruct county staff to prepare a county debt issuance schedule and also
