g. School Facilities Task Force Report Draft <br /> In April 2001, the School Facilities Task Force, comprised of two members each of the Board <br /> of Commissioners and the two school boards, produced a draft report following their review of <br /> school construction standards and student population projections, and their implications <br /> regarding the need for bond or otherwise-funded school capital projects. The press of budget <br /> matters and the activities of the Capital Needs Advisory Task Force during Spring 2001 <br /> prevented the Board and staff from devoting adequate time to review and discuss the Task <br /> Force report. The three boards may wish to review the major findings and recommendations <br /> from the Task Force and provide direction to staff on additional work that may be needed on <br /> certain issues (e.g. selection of a single student population projection standard for planning <br /> school capital projects) addressed in the report. <br /> Attachment Ig—Draft School Facilities Task Force Report <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact tied directly to the discussion at this <br /> meeting. However, decisions that the school boards and BOCC will make at subsequent <br /> meetings are likely to have significant implications for future capital and operating budgets. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the boards discuss the issues <br /> noted and provide direction to staff, as appropriate. <br />
