005 <br /> Memorandum 1 <br /> Page 3 <br /> February 13, 1985 <br /> 5. Kitchen Renovations $225,000 <br /> All school sites <br /> The most crucial needs are at Ephesus, Glenwood and Estes Hills <br /> Elementary Schools. When Ephesus was built in 1972, the decision was <br /> made to cut the kitchen from the construction plan and make the school a <br /> satellite school. Since 1972, the school population has increased, and an <br /> additional pod has been added to the school. Ephesus, with its present <br /> student population, needs a kitchen area twice the size of the existing one. <br /> Glenwood and Estes Hills both need walk-in freezers and refrigera- <br /> tors. The reach-in freezers, which are approximately 20 years old or <br /> older of the old home type, at these schools, require excessive <br /> repairs because they must be housed in storerooms without adequate <br /> ventilation. Replacementoof old, outdated equipment is needed also at <br /> the other schools. <br /> The total cost for these capital improvement projects is $3,251,000. <br /> The committee, during its deliberations, also discussed several <br /> alternative financing possibilities for the Board to pursue with the <br /> commissioners. Those were as follows: •• <br /> 1. Bond Referendum <br /> 2. Half-Cents Sales Tax Revenue <br /> 3. Special Countywide Tax Earmarked for Capital Improvements <br /> 4. Bank Loan <br /> The committee recommends that the Board pursue with the com- <br /> missioners a funding source that will allow the system to proceed <br /> immediately with all five projects. <br /> RESOLUTION: Be it therefore resolved that the Board <br /> of Education adopt the following long range capital <br /> improvement priorities and pursue with the commissioners <br /> a funding source that would allow the school system to <br /> proceed immediately with all five projects: <br /> 1. Multipurpose Space - Estes Hills, Glenwood <br /> 2. Air Conditioning - Phillips, Frank P. Graham <br /> 3. Cafeteria Expansion and Renovation, Media Center <br /> Expansion - Chapel Hill High School <br /> 4. Elementary Schools Media Center Expansion - Carrboro, <br /> Estes Hills, Glenwood <br /> 5. Kitchen Renovations - (all sites) <br /> 44, /JI4 <. <br /> (Mrs.) ry House <br /> Assistant Superintendent for <br /> Support Services <br />
