Laura Blackmon said that her understanding, from talking to the other Managers, is that <br /> they are already reeling from what they would need to budget to pay back for 104 acres. If the 60 <br /> acres were brought up, there would possibly be a delay in budgeting. If a portion is going to be a <br /> school site, the expectation is that the County would pay for all of that portion. <br /> Chair Jacobs said that the affordable housing community might be able to make an <br /> estimate of the number of units that the 18 acres would accommodate. He said that this could be <br /> discussed at the AOG meeting. <br /> Laura Blackmon reviewed what the County Commissioners asked of staff—a possible <br /> environmental assessment for going south of the 18 acres and a recommendation from staff on <br /> how to regard the 60 acres. She said that for the 104 acres, with a five-year period payback of <br /> 6% interest, it would be $91,000 a year for five years. If a portion of the land would be for a <br /> school site, it would be more. <br /> The meeting was adjourned at 10:12 p.m. <br /> Barry Jacobs, Chair <br /> Donna S. Baker, CMC <br /> Clerk to the Board <br />
