He said the SAPFO numbers for the schools drive the needs and capacity decisions. He said the CIP shows many of these in years 6 through 10. He reminded the Board of the capitol funding policy included in the appendices section, which gives a principle target of providing capital funding of 60 percent to schools, and 40 percent to the County over a decade, starting in 2005. He said the County is right at this goal if you look at the 10 year period, with 59.6 percent schools and 40.4 percent County. Paul Laughton said the HVAC chiller is having a lot of problems and there is $150,000 in HVAC to pay for this. He said the total cost is $200,000, but there is $100,000 in available contingency from the Whitted project that can be used. Chair Jacobs said the current chiller has been a problem from the start, and there is an issue in the community with the sound. He suggested that the replacement be vetted for sound. Paul Laughton said the co -build concept for EMS substations with the towns of Chapel Hill and Hillsborough includes a plan to do two buildings in year 2, with a cost of $600,000 per substation. He said this would be one for the town of Chapel Hill and one with the town of Hillsborough. He said this would be done again the next year, followed by two stand alone stations. He said this would include one in year 5 and one in the out years. He said this provides 4 co -built locations and 2 stand - alones, which is a major change. He said the Lands Legacy allocations are $400,000 in year 1 and $2 million in year 2. Commissioner Dorosin asked if the Lands Legacy plan is to spend $2.4 million by 2015- 16 buying more land. Paul Laughton said that money would be available. Commissioner Dorosin asked if the money could be given to something else if it is not spent. Paul Laughton said that would be a decision for the Board, but the people approved this bond for use with Lands Legacy. He said this lapsed in 2010, and it will require refinancing and re- funding if it is the desire of the Board. Commissioner Dorosin asked if there is a legal obligation to continue allocating this bond money to this project. Commissioner Gordon said the Board has an ethical obligation, since the voters voted for this bond. She said there were some rough patches with financing, and therefore some Lands Legacy funding was deferred; but she feels there is still an ethical obligation to come through with this funding. Commissioner Dorosin said there is not a legal obligation. Commissioner Gordon said there is not a legal obligation with any bond, but there is an ethical obligation. Paul Laughton said the increase to the Eubanks Road Convenience Center improvements will bring the total cost to $2.4 million. He said much of this is dealing with the moving of the scale house operations and the associated site improvements. He said this includes extension of water and sewer, additional storm water structures, 2 additional compactors and a larger household hazardous waste building. Paul Laughton referred to the Sportsplex improvements. He said there are details in the abstract that present some compelling revenue numbers. He said phase 1 would be done in 2014/15, moving right into phases 2 and 3 in year 2. He said the cost is the same, with $950,000 for the first phase and $2.8 million for the next two phases. He referred to the changes to schools. He said the move back for the middle school is related to the addition of the Culbreth science wing. He said the Cedar Ridge High School addition was put in the plan for discussion, but the SAPFO numbers say this is not needed until 2022 -23.
