Commissioner Burroughs said providing funding outside of the per pupil allowance will only create further division between the school districts. She urged the Board not to support this. Commissioner Jacobs said, in the big picture, this is a small amount of money, and giving it to OCS would have direct impact on students' education. Chair McKee agreed with Commissioner Burroughs, and also implored the Board not to support giving OCS these funds. Commissioner Dorosin said he would support taking the proposed funds for CIS and OCS out of the outside agency process, and providing the funds as a non-departmental. Commissioner Burroughs said Paul Laughton's suggestion is how the Board handles other fair funding items. Commissioner Burroughs said to take both CIS's funding out and put it in non- departmentals. A motion was made by Commissioner Price, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to take the $35, 200 and put it into Orange County non-departmental for OCS. Commissioner Rich said the name of fair funding should be changed. Commissioner Burroughs said the Board has carefully not had a fair funding conversation. She said there are lawyers in the school world that think fair funding is not fair, and County lawyers that think it is fair.

Bonnie Hammersley said the Housing Director has weighed in on this issue and does support funding this organization and recommends working closely with them. Commissioner Jacobs asked if this funding can be done as a contract rather than as outside agency funding. Bonnie Hammersley said yes. An amended motion was made by Commissioner Dorosin, seconded by Commissioner Burroughs to take the money off of outside agency funding and enter into a contract with the Center for Home Ownership for $10,000.
