To Continue Review and Discussion of the Manacjer's Recommended FY 2013-18 5 Capital Investment Plan 6 Paul Laughton said he wanted to present items on questions from their last meeting and 7 they are bullet points on the first page of the abstract and shown below: 8 Attachment A reflects a comparison by Function of the Manager's 9 Recommended 2013-18 CIP with the FY 2012-17 and FY 2011-16 Capital Investment 10 Plan 11 ' Attachment B provides a summary of a proposed Agricultural, Environment, and 12 Parks Center at Blackwood Farm Park, including a permanent Parks Operations Base, 13 to be phased in over a three-year period (FY 2015-16 through FY 2017-18). See page 14 37 in the CIP document for a complete funding scenario for this building and park 15 facilities. 16 17 Chair Jacobs gave some review and direction about the process tonight. 18 Paul Laughton said the intent was to bring information items back on the bulleted items 19 and then a Triangle Sportsplex presentation on the new programs and expansion, and then 20 they will move into the notebook and go through each p ject as needed. 21 Paul Laughton made reference to Attachment B and the proposed Blackwood Farm 22 Park Ag, Environment and Parks Center. It is proposed to be two phases. This is outlined on 23 page 37 of the CIP notebook. The pr jected cost is$5,300,000. 24 Chair Jacobs said he brought up two years ago the prospect of using a bond on a past 25 project. He said in the past the County started putting together a bond package six months to a 26 year before a p joct begins. He said this is a p ject that would be suitable for a bond project. 27 This property was bought with bond funds. 28 Frank Clifton said the time is approaching for that thought process of a potential bond to 29 move forward. 30 Commissioner Price said there is a recommendation to move offices from Revere Road 31 to Blackwood Farm and she asked when this was decided. 32 Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks and Recreation (DEAPR) Director Dave 33 Stancil said in the master plan there was a vision in it for a parks operation base but that pre- 34 dated what there is now. There was an Ag Center Work Group that thought this was a good 35 location for an Ag Center and he said their department has grown and so then there was a 36 strong synergy to have all like departments to be in the same vicinity. He said no decision has 37 been made yet. All of the agricultural agencies identified this as a suitable site for the offices. 38 Chair Jacobs said there was a jump from mentioning this idea to a proposal in the CIP. 39 He said the Board has not had a discussion yet. 40 Frank Clifton said this is one of the few sites in Orange County that has water and 41 sewer. He said the County Commissioners asked the staff to evaluate the prospect of a county 42 fair. The thought is that this is a potential site. 43 Chair Jacobs said there is not a smooth way to get things from staff conception to the 44 CIP yet. 45 Paul Laughton made reference to page 2 of the agenda abstract and the things being 46 brought back from the March work session, and referenced the material in Attachment B that is 47 related to the Science Wing atCu|breth Middle School. 48 49 - Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools submitted as part of their unfunded new facilities 50 projects a Science Wing Addition at Culbreth Middle School totaling $4,971,676.
