To establish a date and time for a required public hearing on the planned Southern <br /> Village Elementary School. <br /> BACKGROUND: At the October 15 regular meeting,the Board of Commissioners approved the <br /> establishment of a November 19 public hearing on the financing of the planned new elementary <br /> school in the Southern Village development, which is slated for a Summer 1999 opening. As part of <br /> the proposed financing approach for this new school,the County must by law acquire title to the <br /> property on which the school will be sited. A public hearing on this property acquisition is also <br /> required under North Carolina statutes. <br /> The County Attorney recommends that the Board conduct a dual-purpose public hearing at 7:30pm <br /> on November 19 that will accomplish both purposes - namely,to consider whether the Board should <br /> approve 1) a proposed installment financing agreement and 2)the acquisition of the site of the <br /> elementary school project from the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Board of Education. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the actions <br /> outlined in the attached proceedings prepared by the County Attorney. <br />
