5 Anticipated Future DecisionlDiscussion Items Several topics affecting the middle school and soccer projects will need to be addressed by the Board at future meetings, These topics include, but are not necessarily limited to: • Agreements involving serving both middle school and the soccer complex with public water and sewer and perhaps other utilities. These easements will be brought forward as their location and dimensions become known, They will have to be accomplished before either the middle school or the soccer complex receives certificates of occupancy from the Orange County Planning Department, • Approval of a capital project ordinance appropriating funds for the County's pre-grading casts in accordance with the BOCC's funding decision at this October 19 meeting. • Discussion of how and when to fund the additional costs that will be associated with building soccer fields and related amenities, after the pre-grading work has been completed, • The recent request by the Orange County Schools that the BOCC consider how additional funding might be provided to address an anticipated increase in the cost of the middle school project to roughly $21,5 million, • Although it is clear that the Orange County Board of Education has no plans in the foreseeable future to locate another school in the general area of this middle school or on the same property that this middle school is located, a decision to do so is not foreclosed by any actions taken or contemplated, If another school were located in the southwestern quadrant of the school property, and if Orange County's watershed protection regulations were the same as they are now at the time of the location of another school at this location, then it could be constructed and the impervious surface requirements would have to be met by the use of a BMP structure, The expense of constructing necessary BMP structures and their perpetual maintenance would have to be part of the consideration of locating another school on this property. Utilizing the entire 66 acres of the property purchased far the Orange County middle school allows the construction of that school without the expense of perpetually maintaining BMP structures. The perpetual maintenance is particularly problematic to both the Board of Education and the County because it is an operating expense that would have to be funded by the annual per pupil current expense appropriation, FINANCIAL IMPACT: As noted above, the BOCC has to this point earmarked $627,500 far the soccer complex from Soccer Superfund bands for land acquisition and architectural/engineering design services. The County's share of pre-grading work will increase that amount to about $975,000, RECOMMENDATION(S): ~fhe Manager recommends that the Board: (1) approve the revised concept plan for OCS Middle School #3 and West Ten Soccer Park; (2) dedicate to the public the portion of West Ten Road lying within the property awned by the County to be rased for the soccer complex to the public for public road purposes; (3) accept, for the use of the general public, without maintenance responsibility, the public dedication along West Ten Road of both the Orange County Middle School #3 site and the West Ten soccer center site; (4) approve the interlocal agreement between Orange County and the Orange County Board of Education for the joint site development and for access and parking easements; (5) authorize the Chair and Clerk to execute the interlocal agreement and the easements to the Orange County Board of Education for the access roads; and (6) approve the allocation of an additional $347,030 in soccer superfund bond proceeds to cover the County s cost of the pre-grading site work.
