The BOCC determined that they would provide $27.8 million in capital <br />funding for this project. The original agreement provided that CHCCS would be responsible to <br />fund, in a manner not requiring Orange County to incur additional debt, any amount by which <br />the overall high school #3 project cast should exceed the $27,8 million budget, The BOCC also <br />indicated that they would provide an additional $2,2 million if CHCCS provided the BOCC with a <br />satisfactory proposal "for a design of CHCCS high school #3 that promotes smart-growth, which <br />design addresses `reduced parking, ~reducedJ land disturbance, and other deleterious aspects <br />of current plans"' On August 7, 2003, Chapel Hill-Carrboro Board of Education likewise <br />approved the agreement. <br />In conjunction with its approval of the interlocal agreement, the Board of Education proposed <br />two addenda that they believed would help clarify the intent and scope of the interlocal <br />agreement, The County Commissioners considered the proposed addenda at their regular <br />meeting on August 19, 2003, but refrained from taking action at that time pending requested <br />modifications to both, The County Attorney and staff followed up on BOCC questions and <br />comments about the addenda, and presented a revised version for the Board's consideration at <br />the December 9, 2003 meeting, There was insufficient time at that meeting for the BOCC to <br />
