could be added for that school system. When OCS middle school#3 (Gravelly Hill Middle <br /> School) was built, the middle school level was included for OCS and when CHCCS high school <br /> #3 (Carrboro High School) was built, then the high school level was included for CHCCS. <br /> From Perdita Holtz -Commissioner Gordon is correct that the SAPFO adequacy test was <br /> suspended for these two school levels in the MOUs (and subsequent development <br /> regulation amendments) during the time period mentioned. The purpose of suspending <br /> the adequacy test was that these two levels were already above, or very close to <br /> exceeding, the agreed-upon maximum capacity levels when the SAPFO was adopted in <br /> July 2003. If the adequacy test had not been suspended, the effect of SAPFO adoption <br /> would have been to curtail residential development in both school districts immediately <br /> upon adoption of SAPFO. <br /> Commissioner Gordon would like this information noted as a historical reminder and so <br /> that there is no misunderstanding regarding the effectiveness of SAPFO. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Rich to <br /> move the manager's recommendation approving the 2014 Schools Adequate Public Facilities <br /> Ordinance Technical Advisory Committee (SAPFOTAC) Report and certify portions of the <br /> Report, with the addition of one sentence on page 11 and one sentence on page 12 to indicate <br /> what is meant in the charts, and with the inclusion of the submitted questions and comments <br /> into the record. <br /> Commissioner McKee said he would like to note that SAPFO is only a planning tool and <br /> should be used as such. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> h. Buckhorn-Mebane EDD Phase 2 Sewer Extension—Amendment of Design Contract <br /> and Approval of Budget Amendment#7-C <br /> The Board considered authorizing the Chair to sign an amendment to the design <br /> contract for the Buckhorn Economic Development District (EDD) Phase 2 Sewer Extension <br /> Project and approval of Budget Amendment#7-C. <br /> Commissioner Price said she needs clarification on some differences in the numbers. <br /> Craig Benedict said this amendment is just to add an additional $120,000; however if <br /> you look back over the past several years, there has been a change of$1 million, from $3.8 <br /> million to $4.8 million. He said this includes an increased scope to the project and an increase <br /> to protect capital costs. He said tonight's item would only involve the additional funds of <br /> $120,000. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said she asked about this budget amendment, and the finance <br /> director said this will be documented in the future as a separate statement. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Price, seconded by Commissioner McKee to <br /> authorize the Chair to sign an amendment to the design contract for the Buckhorn Economic <br /> Development District (EDD) Phase 2 Sewer Extension Project and approval of Budget <br /> Amendment#7-C. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 7.
