7 <br /> 1 Bonnie Hammersley said that is not correct for capital funds. She said that this is <br /> 2 something that staff needs to work on. She said the county waits for the request from the schools, <br /> 3 puts it in the borrowing package, and then borrows the money. She said the county passes an <br /> 4 annual reimbursement resolution at the time of every budget that allows reimbursement for <br /> 5 finances borrowed. She said this allows the county to spend money in advance of any borrowing, <br /> 6 which can be used for emergency projects like those Bonnie Hauser mentioned. She said the <br /> 7 BOCC has two meetings a month where a budget amendment can be done, so there is a <br /> 8 tremendous amount of flexibility. She said the county is not getting information from the schools <br /> 9 so that's why the numbers are different. She said the BOCC has already done its job by allocating <br /> 10 the money to the school districts. She said OCS and county staff will work together to sort the <br /> 11 numbers out. <br /> 12 Bonnie Hauser asked if there is$22 million that they have not committed, can it be flexible. <br /> 13 Vice-Chair McKee said he agrees staff need to get together. <br /> 14 Bonnie Hammersley said to some extent there is some deferred maintenance that can be <br /> 15 flexible, but they requested to have a list of what the deferred maintenance was going to be. She <br /> 16 said if something needs to change OCS staff just has to call county budget staff for a budget <br /> 17 amendment to come to one of the BOCC meetings. <br /> 18 Will Atherton said he appreciates the conversation. He said that they were surprised the <br /> 19 numbers were off and he agrees to let staff do the work and have a report back. <br /> 20 Bonnie Hauser said that the long-term capital plan needs help from the facilities consultant <br /> 21 to decide if they repair or replace the old buildings. She said that nowhere in the plan do they ask <br /> 22 to replace an old building. She said that if they have to develop a new ten year plan then they <br /> 23 have to hire a consultant. She asked if the old plan can be the ten year capital plan util the <br /> 24 consultant study is done. <br /> 25 Bonnie Hammersley said they would work with the budget staff and put projects in place. <br /> 26 Chair Bedford said she thought the schools were in the middle of having architectural <br /> 27 reviews. <br /> 28 Bonnie Hauser said no. <br /> 29 Chair Bedford said that in the interim they have to keep other schools functioning and <br /> 30 running. She said they do a 10 year CIP look, but only commit one year at a time. She said that <br /> 31 for the next year, the schools should submit the most important projects. She said staff needs to <br /> 32 talk with each other about whether they will hire architects or engineers. <br /> 33 <br /> 34 Presentation by Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools on Topics of Interest <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Rani Dasi, Chair of the CHCCS Board of Education, held a moment of silence in honor of <br /> 37 Roberto Deleto, a Carrboro High School Student that tragically passed away after a boating <br /> 38 accident on Jordan Lake. <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Rani Dasi made the following presentation: <br /> 41 <br /> 42 <br /> 43 <br />
