ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: October 15, 1996 <br /> SUBJECT: Community School For People Under Six Funding Request <br /> DEPARTMENT: County Manager PUBLIC HEARING (Y/NS) NO <br /> BUDGET AMENDMENT: (Y/N): N� <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: Albert Kittrell <br /> Letter From Community School Ext. 2300 <br /> Architect's Cost Estimate TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br /> Hillsborough -732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill -968-4501 <br /> Durham -688-7331 <br /> Mebane -227-2031 <br /> PURPOSE: To consider a request from the Community School for People Under Six for funding. <br /> BACKGROUND: On April 1, 1996, the Board approved a request from the Community School to <br /> construct a 2, 150 square feet building addition to the Northside Multipurpose Center located on <br /> Caldwell Street in Chapel Hill. Since April,the cost of the expansion project has increased beyond the <br /> Community School's budget. The additional cost is the result of parking lot improvements required by <br /> the Town of Chapel Hill. <br /> On October 1, 1996, the Board requested staff to review the design and estimated cost of the building <br /> addition,paving the parking lot and other improvements required by the Town. The County engineer <br /> has met the project architect and Community School Director. The design and estimated cost are <br /> appropriate for this project. Also, the facility improvements will increase the number of daycare spaces <br /> and expand the parking lot used by county employees and citizens visiting the Northside Multipurpose <br /> Center. (Please refer to the architect's cost estimate attachment.) <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board appropriate $15,000 from the <br /> Commissioners' contingency to fund the facility improvements at the Community School for People <br /> Under Six and encourage the Town of Chapel to match the county contribution. We understand that this <br /> item will be on the Town Council's Agenda on October 16th. County appropriations to the Community <br /> School should be dispersed after parking improvements have been completed. <br />
