Financial Services Director Clarence Grier said that the plans are similar and the retirees should be sufficiently covered. Commissioner Yuhasz said that there is a clause that if there is an overage that the three counties will split it. Judy Truitt said that there would be 10 individuals that would be eligible and would meet the requirements. The entire time is 95 months until the last person would be eligible for Medicare. Gwen Harvey said that United Health Care has agreed to accept these employees under the County's plan. The County Attorney is also working on a Memorandum of Understanding that protects the County and distributes any overages to all three counties. Commissioner Gordon asked to see this backup data. Chair Pelissier said that she thinks that this is the right thing to do. 2. Further Review and Discussion of the Manager's Recommended FY 2012-17 Capital Investment Plan (CIP) Financial Services staff Paul Laughton said that this item is to continue the discussion on the CIP. On March 1St, the Board got through page 43 of the County projects and also the school capital projects. He made reference to page 44 of the County projects. These are park projects. He made reference to the attachments. There is a replacement page for page 26 regarding IT. This change was related to putting an addition of$200,000 to bring County computers into Windows 7 compliance. This will be funded with existing funds from the project that is available, as well as financing $250,000 for the library management system software that was discussed at the March 1 st meeting. Also, there were replacements for pages 94-95. These are updated based on a request to show the revenue shortage for County capital projects and the source of those shortages. There is also additional information from Orange County Schools (OSC), specifically for Elementary School #8, which OCS has moved up several years in their CIP request. OCS also provided an analysis to show support for the Cedar Ridge auditorium and the additional classroom wing of 20 classrooms. Commissioner Gordon asked about when the Commissioners would be asked to approve this and Paul Laughton said that June 19th is the final approval of the CIP, April 19th is CIP follow-up and April 24th is a Budget Work Session.
