Donna Dean-Coffey said that they can amend the capital project ordinances throughout the year, and the ones to approve tonight are the ones that extend the project expiration dates. The only one for OCS is for Gravely Hill Middle School. There is also one for CHCCS for Elementary School #10 for $900,000 of planning money. Chair Jacobs asked for clarification on the contingency of $691,000 for Gravelly Hill and asked how much of that has been spent. Donna Dean-Coffey said that with the school's planning and funding capital projects policy that the Board has in place, they would bring a final accounting back to them next winter or so after bills have been satisfied. Commissioner Halkiotis said that they had a similar situation nine years ago when there was money left over from building a school and a lot of people were upset when that money was used for other projects that were not approved. He said there needs to be sanctity of documents. He asked where any leftover money would go and Donna Dean-Coffey said that the County Commissioners would have to approve any additional spending. 2.
