10 <br /> Revere Road. He said the BOCC also asked if alternative sites could be considered, including <br /> a Cornelius Street option, and a mixed-use idea on the current site. <br /> Commissioner Price said she there is no project ready with which to proceed, and she <br /> would rather wait too. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said he understood that the BOCC would receive a report in late <br /> fall from Asset Management Services (AMS) about the various options. He said he agreed <br /> with Commissioner McKee, and really wants to incorporate the wishes of the agricultural <br /> community. He said he is inclined towards a new build, as it could be made specifically to suit <br /> the needs of the community. He said he does not have a strong feeling regarding time, and <br /> would defer to staff to make a plan that includes the agricultural community. <br /> Chair Dorosin said he is strongly opposed to pushing the project back, as it has been <br /> around for some time, and it is good to have time pressure to keep things moving. He said it is <br /> his understanding that if the reports about alternative sites prove unhelpful, then the plan is to <br /> proceed with the renovations at the current site, which included feedback from the agricultural <br /> community. He said once reports are received in November, the community can be engaged if <br /> necessary, and the plan can proceed or be pushed back as necessary. <br /> Commissioner McKee said he will not make an issue of this right now, but he wants to <br /> make sure that the agricultural community is engaged before the BOCC makes any decisions. <br /> Chair Dorosin said if affordable housing is going to be considered, this should be <br /> discussed in the fall as well. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said funds are not borrowed until staff is ready for requests for <br /> proposals (RFP). She said staff will be sure to create a plan that includes the relevant <br /> stakeholders. <br /> Commissioner Rich asked if the Town of Hillsborough will continue to lay their fiber, or <br /> will it hold off as well. <br /> Travis Myren said the year one project will stay in the CIP, which is the partnership with <br /> Hillsborough. He said there have been good preliminary discussions with the Town already. <br /> Commissioner Price referred to the Southern Branch Library project, and said there is <br /> nothing in year one. She asked if funds are being carried over from previous years. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said there are planning funds from previous years, and year 2 <br /> reflects what Carrboro also has in their project. She said year 2 has construction costs. <br /> • Other Funds Budget Amendment List and Decision Items for Other Funds FY2017-18 <br /> Budget <br /> 2.
