DRAFT �k��-�°." <br /> 37 <br /> 1 John Link clarified that if the $11.8 Million Dollar bond is approved, it would more than likely <br /> 2 include the additional $3 million. This project should be discussed and decided upon in the near <br /> 3 future because it is currently in the planning stage. <br /> 4 <br /> 5 Commissioner Halkiotis indicated that his concern was that the integrity of the bond process <br /> 6 be preserved by keeping the $3 million separate from the $11.8 million. <br /> 7 <br /> 8 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 9 <br /> 0 The County Capital Project Ordinances were reviewed and discussed. John Link <br /> 1 mentioned that the $500,000 for the Skill Development Center reflects anticipated private <br /> 2 placement. It is not pay-as-you go funds.
