20 <br /> recommendations; more information on the highway 70 corridor; the cost for daylighting; and <br /> figures on affordable housing. <br /> Commissioner Rich asked if there is a reason for endorsing option 1. <br /> 1) Major EAC Renovations — Revere Road: Perform major renovations to the existing EAC <br /> facility at 306 Revere Road (see Attachment#2 for Revere Road EAC Site and Space <br /> Plans); <br /> • Additional CIP Funds Required: $235,000 <br /> Commissioner McKee said he heard the majority of the Board stating a preference for <br /> option 1, and he would like that to be the focus, noting that the new information may change <br /> the direction of the plan at some point. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said the two motions were not that different, and are generally <br /> tracking with each other. He said he is comfortable with Commissioner McKee's motion. <br /> Commissioner McKee withdrew his motion, and instead made a motion for option 1 to <br /> be the preferred option. <br /> Chair Dorosin said if the option 1 stands alone, it may decrease the value of the other <br /> information that the Board desires. <br /> Commissioner McKee said to let his original motion stand. <br /> VOTE: Ayes, 4 (Commissioner McKee, Commissioner Jacobs, Commissioner Burroughs, <br /> Commissioner Price); Nays, 3 (Commissioner Rich, Commissioner Marcoplos, Chair Dorosin) <br /> b. Revisions to Schools FY 2016-17 CIP and Approval of Property Acquisition <br /> The Board considered approving the amendments to the FY 2016-17 School Capital <br /> Investment Program based on changes to both school systems project listing and approve the <br /> acquisition of the Orange Charter School Facility by Orange County Schools pursuant to the <br /> Capital Funding Policy. <br /> Gary Donaldson said any revisions in the price of capital projects must come back for <br /> approval by the Board. <br /> Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) —Assistant Superintendent Todd LoFrese <br /> Todd LoFrese said the CHCCS projects slated for the bond funds have undergone <br /> some adjustments. He said two things lead to the adjustment of the project budget: the bond <br /> proceeds and distribution changed over time; and the construction costs have increased (from <br /> 2013). He said the Lincoln Center project is now estimated at $25 million, and Chapel Hill High <br /> is now at $47 million now. <br /> Commissioner Rich referred to a turn lane that is required by the Chapel Hill Town <br /> Council, and asked if the funding source for this project has been identified. <br /> Todd LoFrese said this expense will come from project budget. <br /> Commissioner Rich asked if this was already budgeted into the Lincoln Center project. <br /> Todd LoFrese said no, not to the extent required by the Town Council. He said a traffic <br /> study has been required as well. <br /> Commissioner Rich asked if it is known who will measure the traffic flow, and what <br /> further recommendations will be made. <br /> Todd LoFrese said he does not know what else may be recommended, but the district <br /> will pay a traffic consultant of the Town's choosing to do a study. He said he does not know <br /> what recommendations would result from the study. <br />
