He said staff will try to provide an answer before the end <br />of the evening. He resumed the presentation: <br />• Efland Sewer to Mebane, Phase 2 Extension <br />• Article 46 Sales Tax <br />• CIP includes recommendation to increase project expenses <br />• Bid results eliminate need to $1.4 million in additional funds <br />• Bid award scheduled for June 20 meeting <br />Commissioner McKee asked if this $1.4 million would be a savings to the general fund <br />revenues, or a reduction in the amount of money borrowed. <br />Travis Myren said of Article 46 money. <br />Chair Dorosin asked if that would mean there would be an additional $1.4 million in <br />Article 46 funds to allocate. <br />Travis Myren said these capital projects manifest in debt service, so whatever debt <br />service was projected to be associated with the project would be reduced. He resumed the <br />PowerPoint presentation: <br />• Project Updates <br />o Detention Center <br />■ Refocus siting study on two alternatives <br />❖ Current Detention Center Site <br />❖ Sheriff's parking lot adjacent to Courthouse <br />Commissioner McKee asked if the current detention center site could be done in <br />phases. <br />Travis Myren said yes. <br />Commissioner McKee said he would have some concerns about using the parking lot, in <br />case the Justice Center needed to be expanded in the future. <br />Commissioner Price said she had talked to judges that were excited about using the <br />parking lot due to close proximity. <br />Travis Myren resumed the presentation: <br />o Environment and Agriculture Center <br />• Modify project page to reference the work of 2006 Ag Center Study <br />• Cornelius Street corridor study for siting alternatives <br />• Day lighting engineering study <br />• Mixed use alternatives investigation <br />
