of items that the Board requested additional information included the County's <br />current and future debt capacity, affordability of County and school projects that are <br />either under - funded or unfunded, the County's capital funding policy, and the <br />anticipated impact of Lottery proceeds on the County's capital funding policy. <br />A. Approval of Fiscal Year 2006 -07 School and County Capital Project <br />Ordinances <br />The 2006 -16 Manager's Recommended Capital Investment Plan (CIP) presented <br />to the Board in April 2006 included long -range funding recommendations for <br />funding School and County capital projects. To that end, Commissioners <br />approved some Level 1 school capital projects for fiscal year 2006.07 on June <br />27, 2006 and delayed action on other school and County capital projects until fall <br />2006.

Other projects received new funding for the current fiscal <br />
