16th with a plan and a cost. He said if the plan is not applicable then the Board could reallocate the proposed funding. Commissioner Rich asked if there has there been any discussions with the Town for a larger amount of money. David Stancil said not at this time. Commissioner Rich said it may be worth having this conversation with the Town once they know what the County is considering. David Stancil said he believes that Hillsborough sees the park as a County project. Commissioner Burroughs said she is not opposed to Commissioner Jacobs' suggestion, but noted that all Board members have ideas tonight regarding fund allocation. She asked the Board to keep the many needs and expenses in mind when the topic of revenue sources is raised later. Bonnie Hammersley said staff has been meeting with the Town in regards to this Park, and there were alternative plans discussed; but the County should have been more responsive to this project. She said the staff will bring something back on June 16th A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Price to set aside $100,000 in the CIP pending a report back from by staff on Tuesday, June 16th regarding a plan to finish the remainder of the master plan for Fairview Park. Chair McKee said the Board would be unable to follow up with a motion of intent on the CIP because this item would be unresolved until Tuesday. Commissioner Burroughs said she will be voting against this motion due to the process and her desire to see how much revenue the Board chooses to raise. Commissioner Rich asked if was necessary to delay the entire vote on the CIP. Chair McKee said the action the Board was expecting to take would approve intent to adopt the 2015-2020 CIP. He said Commissioner Jacob's motion would require the Board to delay the intent motion until June 16th Commissioner Dorosin said if Commissioner Jacob's motion delays the rest of the CIP, then he would like to delay the motion. Chair McKee said passing Commissioner Jacob's motion would take $100,000 off of the table for tonight's other discussions. Commissioner Jacobs said there could be a discussion on the rest of the CIP and the Board can clarify his motion on 6/16. Commissioner Dorosin said he was in favor of this motion but may not be in favor of $100,000 at this moment. He suggested holding the motion until the rest of the CIP can be discussed. Commissioner Pelissier said she felt uncomfortable reserving $100,000 prior to discussing all other items. Commissioner Rich said if there is a pot of money available to be moved around, why is a motion necessary right now. Chair McKee said a motion is not required but it has been standard process to go through each section and vote as each step is reviewed. Bonnie Hammersley said the motion of intent to adopt is connected because of the pay-as-you-go funding. She said the Board does not have to vote on an intent to adopt the CIP at the end of this CIP discussion. She said, rather, the vote could wait until the end of the meeting, or until the meeting on June 16th. Commissioner Dorosin asked if the $280,000 can be spent on anything. Bonnie Hammersley said yes.
