23 1 Commissioner Pelissier said the way this has been presented is different than it has 2 been in the past and it is great for the Board and the public. 3 Commissioner Burroughs said she would like to learn more about the site work at 4 Southern Human Services Center campus and the urgency there. 5 Commissioner Burroughs expressed thanks for the planning funds for Orange County 6 Schools (OCS) and Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS). She said the timeframe in the 7 presentation for the schools is very SAPFO oriented, and it is important to remember the 8 varying states of dilapidation for both school systems, as well as the safety concerns with the 9 Orange County Schools. She said there is some breathing room, that allows them not to rush 10 on the capacity piece, but these other issues still exist. 11 Commissioner Burroughs said one inconsistency she saw was regarding the 12 recommendations for shovel ready projects when the bond passes. She referred to page 96 13 and noted that the CHCCS projects lists work starting in the second year, concurrent with the 14 bond. She said she understands the political discussion of starting this before the referendum, 15 but she also knows that the needs are there, and she would be comfortable explaining why 16 work needs to start. 17 Commissioner Jacobs asked that a copy of the CIP be put in the libraries too. 18 Commissioner Price asked about the study related to the sewer construction at Rogers 19 Road. 20 Bonnie Hammersley said this is referring to the schematic design of the system. 21 Commissioner Price asked if Bonnie Hammersley can give the Board advance notice of 22 what sections will be looked at in the future work sessions. 23 Bonnie Hammersley said yes. 24 Commissioner Rich said she appreciated the overview. She likes reviewing projects one 25 at a time and she asked staff to keep the Board updated with the capital projects' sheets. 26 Chair McKee expressed his appreciation for the presentation tonight. He said he also 27 appreciates the conversation about the difference between debt capacity and debt affordability, 28 and he feels it is important to keep this in mind moving forward. He does not want to take a 29 loan that will require a tax increase. 30 31 b.
