15 1 Commissioner Gordon asked to see the last two slides from CHCCS. She noted that if 2 the middle school is moved back two years, while putting the science wing in, it improved the 3 scenario and debt service is now under the 15% level. She said the CIP is approved for 5 years 4 and funded for the first year, and this proposal improves the debt service picture for the 5 year 5 period. She re-visited the slide information showing this improvement in the debt service 6 picture when compared with the manager's original CIP recommendations. 7 Todd Lofriese said the last two slides provide a brief overview of history and some 8 information about the proposed science wing addition. He reviewed the information on the 9 PowerPoint slides as follows: 10 11 Culbreth Science Wing 12 ■ Long standing need, on CIP since 2002 13 - Existing labs lack water, space, windows, few hands on lessons, poor sequencing 14 ■ Unsuccessful QSCB application 2012 15 ■ Cell tower revenue funded a single lab 16 ■ Design funded with 12-13 CIP funds 17 ■ BOE resolution requesting funding on Feb 7, 2013 18 19 Culbreth Science Labs 20 ■ 6 Room Science Lab Addition 21 ■ Addresses required code issues 22 - Bathrooms, electrical, fire alarm, emergency generator, etc. 23 ■ Provides small assembly space 24 ■ Likely increases building capacity by 104...a 2 year delay for MS #5 25 26 CHCCS Board Member Jamezetta Bedford asked for clarification on the Cedar Ridge 27 High School (CRHS) proposed wing, which is listed in 2015 on one CIP sheet and then as a 28 need in ten years on SAPFO. 29 Superintendent Rhodes said there are many sub-divisions coming on line; and OHS 30 capacity had been downgraded significantly, so there is a request for this to happen. 31 OCS Chair Coffey added that it was discovered that Hampton Pointe is not even on the 32 radar for capacity and CRHS is already over capacity and Orange High has been reassessed. 33 She said this will come sooner than originally thought and the district projections are standing. 34 Chair Jacobs reviewed the location of Hampton Pointe and noted that the new 35 apartment developments have not come online yet. 36 OCS Chair Coffey said the district has not seen the CAPS sheets for these new 37 developments. 38 Craig Benedict said SAPFO projections are based on the students who show up in 39 school as of November. He said there are five different models that project forward and are 40 averaged all together. He said as soon as children come to school, projections are affected. 41 He said that this means the wing for Cedar Ridge might be ten years out at one point, but it 42 may be moved forward as projections change when students show up for schools. 43 He said the models show there is not a need for new capacity in OCS schools, but that 44 could very well change with the new development. 45 Chair Jacobs asked about the $39 million for the new middle school and if this number 46 includes land. Several people answered no. 47 CHCCS Board Member Jamezetta Bedford asked if OCS has numbers that do not 48 include the addition of CRHS.
