Pam Jones, Interim Deputy Superintendent for OCS, said there are schools that will need major renovations. The OCS Board of Education is prioritizing the projects. She said the Board of Education knows, by school, what is needed to be done. Paul Laughton said listing the projects by categories had been a request of the County. He said the goal has been for continuity in looking between both the CHCCS and OCS plans. Paul Laughton said nothing in the CIP addressed the Facility Assessment Studies from the school systems, since the County had not yet received this information. Pam Jones said the OCS Board of Education appropriated an additional $150,000 last year out of their fund balance. She said these monies went specifically against some of the deferred maintenance items that are included in the assessment. She said this is done proactively due to the enormity of the needs and knowing that any future bond will not be able to address all of them. Chair McKee said he had heard funding estimates from CHCCS for some time but has not heard the same from OCS. He asked if the numbers previously mentioned by Paul Laughton were in line with what OCS felt they would need. Pam Jones said their focus has been on the Cedar Ridge additions. She said this is their biggest need. Chair McKee asked specifically about the $478,000 mentioned by Paul Laughton. Pam Jones said to get the additional capacity at Cedar Ridge High School will be a $12 million project, with $1.2 million needed for planning. She said the $478,000 will not be sufficient, but it could help with some preliminary work. She said the planning process will take some work, with likely zoning issues, and the $478,000 would help to move that along so they would be closer to being shovel ready. She said when the Board of Education concludes the process of prioritizing needs, there may be some smaller projects not previously anticipated to which the $478,000 may be applied. Commissioner Price asked about the process for the Phoenix Academy and the Bridge Program. Paul Laughton said this is on page 100. Bill Mullen, Director for Facilities for CHCCS, said the Phoenix Academy and the Bridge study would hopefully be part of the $750,000 Lincoln Center Analysis. Commissioner Price asked when the merger was expected. Bill Mullen said he did not know. 2.
