2 <br />On June 26, 2003, the Board of County Commissioners approved some Level 1 project for both <br />school systems. Many of those capital project ordinances did not involve new funding <br />appropriations but merely extended the project timelines through June 30, 2004. Other projects <br />received new funding for the current fiscal year and each school system needed funding <br />appropriations in place in order to accomplish work prior to the beginning of the new school <br />year. A list of projects approved by the BOCC in June is included in Columns C and D of <br />Attachments 1 and 2 of this abstract. <br />CHCCS has requested that the BOCC approve the remaining Level 1 projects that were <br />deferred in June (see column E of Attachments 1 and 2 of this abstract). For OCS the only <br />Level 1 project receiving new non-debt funds for this fiscal year is Information Technology. The <br />Board approved funding for that project on June 26, 2003; therefore, Commissioners are not <br />being asked to approve additional pay-as-you-go capital project ordinances for OCS for the <br />current year. <br />As stated earlier, approval of Level 2 projects, those projects that require several phases to <br />complete, will be requested at the appropriated times in accordance with the Board's adopted <br />School Planning and Funding Policy over the life of the major project. Examples of Level 2 <br />projects include OCS Middle School #3 and CHCCS High School #3. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: As noted on individual capital project ordinances. <br />RECOMMENDATION (S): The Manager recommends that the Board adopt the accompanying <br />Level 1 capital project ordinances. <br />
