36 Motion was made by Commissioner Marshall, seconded by Commissioner Carey to appoint John Clements and Cynthia Hermans to the Telephone Task Force. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. D REPORT - ROOF REPAIRLREPLACEMENT STATUS REPORT County Manager Ken Thompson presented for consideration the status of the school roofs repair and replacement program. He made reference to a memorandum from Dr. Lunsford requesting monies to make required roof repairs at Stanford Jr. High and A. L. Stanback Schools. To finish the priority I roofs for Orange County Schools would cost $590, 000. Chapel Hill-Carrboro Schools made a request for $30, 000 for Chapel Hill High and their list of priority II roof repairs total a little more than $200, 000. Chair Willhoit stressed the need to move forward on the roof repairs. A proposal was submitted by Richard Drake, Director of Plant Maintenance for Chapel Hill-Carrboro Schools, whereby funds allocated for the multipurpose room, that will not be expended this fiscal year be used to pay for the roof repairs needed at Chapel Hill High at a cost of $30, 000 with the understanding that this amount would be replaced in the upcoming budget. Orange County Schools requested $20, 000 for engineering and architectural fees. Ken Thompson suggested waiting until April or early May to make a decision on the $20, 000 request. Dr. Lunsford indicated a decision in April would not give enough time to develop plans, go to bid, and start the work in June. He suggested that Orange County be allowed to proceed with the engineering work and defer a final decision on the project until the bids are received. Ken Thompson indicated a designated source for the $20, 000 needs to be determined. He indicated that all programs have been budgeted in the County' s capital fund and no money is in the fund balance at this time. He asked that Orange County look at their fund balance to see if they can use any of their existing funds for this project with the understanding it would be added to their allocation for 86-87 . Motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Marshall to authorize the transfer of $30, 000 to Chapel Hill 's Capital Outlay Fund to be used for a complete restoration of the roof on the original part of the Chapel Hill High School "A" Building. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. The request from Orange County Schools was tabled until the next meeting. Orange County will review their accounts to see if any money can be shifted within accounts to pay for the 20, 000 engineering cost. F. ITEMS FOR DECISION 15. OPC SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING REQUEST Bill Baxter, Area Director for Orange-Person-Chatham Mental Health, requested monetary assistance for the Halfway House. He explained that heretofore, OPC received funding from the ABC Board, but that the ABC Board denied his funding request of $6, 000 for this fiscal year. He gave a summary of the program, the fund sources and the need for $6, 000 to continue the program. Motion was made by Commissioner Marshall, seconded by Commissioner Carey to approve a budget amendment of $6, 000 to be taken from the Commissioners ' Contingency account. VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
