At the April 22, 2008 <br />Joint Commissioners and Boards of Education meeting, Chapel Hill Carrboro School Board of <br />Education and staff shared their views and analysis of timing for Elementary #11 and its impact <br />on the Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance {SAPF(~}. A copy of the memorandum is <br />included in this agenda package as Attachment 6. <br />• County Technology <br />Of particular interest to the Board during the mast recent CIP discussion with staff on April 17, <br />was the County's long-range Technology plans. Attachment 3 provides a summary of planned <br />initiatives for the upcoming 2008-09 fiscal year. Staff plans to bring an updated County <br />Technology Strategic Plan to the Board later this summer. Future initiatives outlined in the <br />upcoming Strategic Plan will serve as a guide for future County technology initiatives to be <br />included for funding in the 2009-19 CIP next fall. <br />• Tentative Projects Planned for Debt Issuance in Summer 2008 <br />Attachment 2, Summary of Funded Cap~fal Needs, provides summary information related to <br />projects planned for debt funding during the upcoming summer months.

In addition, all previously approved debt issuances related to <br />school projects were completed prior to the current fiscal year. <br />
