like. Commissioner Insko expressed concern about stress on the job stating that it needs to be recognized and responded to accordingly. The Board received the report. VIII. ITEMS FOR DECISION - REGM= AGENDA A. APPROVAL OF SCHOOL SITE The Board was asked to approve the purchase price for a Chapel Hill- Carrboro City Schools building site. Chapel Hill- Carrboro City Schools have expressed a desire to purchase a parcel of land for $900,000 that would be a site for one or two new schools. The parcel contains 39.51 acres and is located on Old Fayetteville Road in Carrboro. This approval would be contingent upon the successful passage of a school bond during the scheduled November 1992 referendum. Chair Carey emphasized the need to clarify for both school systems the process for Board of Commissioners approval of school sites stressing that it needs to be done in the context of a unified system. Commissioner Insko agreed stating that it would be helpful if there was an understanding with the local jurisdictions and school boards on communicating informally ahead of time when purchasing property. Commissioner Halkiotis asked that Chairman Carey develop some guidelines for approval of school sites and forward these to the two school boards. Motion was made by Commissioner Insko, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis that the Board approve the amount to be spent by the Chapel Hill- Carrboro City Schools for this 39.51 acre tract, subject to voter approval of the scheduled November, 1992 school bond referendum and to authorize the Chair to write a letter to the two school boards outlining the process for future approval. VOTE: UNANIMOUS B. SEWER BOTTLENECK In 1988, a series of meetings were held to develop an agreement to eliminate a sewer bottleneck at Elizabeth Brady Road and US70A. The County set aside $66,000 as its contributions to the tentative agreement. Because of complications, this project has been delayed and the cost has increased by an additional $12,000. The entire project cost of $78,000 can be paid for from the County Capital Reserve Fund. Motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to approve the contract, subject to County Attorney final review and negotiation on the construction timetable; authorize the Chair to sign the contract; and approve the appropriation of $78,000 from the County Capital Reserve Fund for the Sewer Bottleneck Project. VOTE: UNANIMOUS C.
