<br /> Patrick Abele said crossing guards will be a need along with sidewalks.
<br /> Vice-Chair McKee asked if the Sheriff's Office is helping with that.
<br /> Patrick Abele said they will provide assistance with traffic but the crossing guards would
<br /> be designated in areas that are not able to be stationed with deputies every day. He said that car
<br /> crossing does not always align with pedestrian crossing.
<br /> Commissioner Portie-Ascott asked if they looked at other things besides sidewalks to
<br /> address behaviors.
<br /> Patrick Abele said they are in touch with DOT about signage. He said that every single
<br /> student has access to bus transportation no matter how far away from the schools they are.
<br /> Bonnie Hauser said the county and OCS records of short-term capital are not in sync. She
<br /> referred to the below handout:

<br /> Bonnie Hauser said the schools have different accounting systems for each of the capital
<br /> fund types. She said that the Board of Education has committed projects for$15 million and there
<br /> is about$22 Million left in the capital they have been given. She said they are prepared to commit
<br /> more. She said the list of projects the county has does not always include all of the projects OCS
<br /> is working on. She said some projects bring to light larger issues that are not on capital project
<br /> lists. She said OCS needs flexibility to bring these projects quickly. She said that Patrick Abele
<br /> has moved projects along quicker by hiring project managers. She said there are a lot of things
<br /> to do and capital investments are going very far. She said that OCS staff would like to work with
<br /> county staff to bring the accounting methods in sync and to keep the BOCC apprised of what's
<br /> coming and changing. She said OCS is asking for flexibility to change the list of projects as they
<br /> come up. She said that flexibility is key, timing and costs change and they want to keep the BOCC
<br /> in the loop. She said they can come up with some standard accounting. She said that OCS thinks
<br /> they've spent all the money but the county shows they have $22 million.
<br /> Vice-Chair McKee said he knows the numbers aren't lining up but he did not understand
<br /> why there was a float. He said they seem to be talking in two different languages and that he does
<br /> not want to get into it in detail tonight. He said that they have to get it straightened out. He said
<br /> that once they allocate the funds to the schools system it can be spent how the school needs.
