Pedersen Superintendent From: Stephen A. Scroggs Assistant Superintendent for Support Services Re: Analysis of Smart Growth Recommendations by the Orange County Commissioners Date: January 5, 2004 Stephen A. Scroggs, Assistant Superintendent for Support Services Included is an analysis of Addendum "A" and "B" of the Smart Growth provisions of the Interlocal Agreement, approved by the County Commissioners for forwarding to the Board of Education. Wlule the Commissioners haue taken no formal action on the approval of the addendum, Support Services has reviewed the contents and would make the following recommendations. The original version of the addenda from the County Commissioners is included in your December 18 Board package. Addendum "A" This addendum clazifies capacity, phasing and the source of additional smart growth money as described in the Interlocal Agreement approved by the Board of Education. It is very similaz to the original Addendum submitted by the Board of Education. The following sections aze reviewed and are compatible with the original version. 1. Defines the student capacity of Phase 1 (800) and Phase 2 (400). This section also indicates that Phase 2 should be built consistent with the smart growth principals identified in Addendum "B". 2. Reaffirms the Board of Commissioners approval of the amount to be spent for site acquisition as defined in the Interlocal Agreement. 3. Describes the initial phases of defining smart growth principles. 4. Clarifies that the $2,200,000 to be provided contingent on the Board meeting the smart growth principles will come from new funding sources, not those already identified for other Board of Education projects. The statement also states that the funding will be alternatively financed and will not require any debt service payments by the Board of Education, The original Addendum "A" included language that the Board of Education only waived its right to legal recourse to the first phase of the high school construction, not second phase. That language is not included in this draft. Support Services recommends acceptance of Addendum "A" as redrafted by the County Commissioners.
