182 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 767 Beth Bronson:You mentioned that there was going to be 150 students in the first year. Now that we have figured out it <br /> 768 would only be the high school,the lower school is pending. However the conditional, master plan development includes <br /> 769 a lower school. So the construction would move forward on that school regardless? <br /> 770 <br /> 771 Patrick Byker: No,that would be somewhere down the road. <br /> 772 <br /> 773 Beth Bronson: Okay, but you would have to leave, I'm just wanting to make sure I understand the master plan.You will <br /> 774 not be coming back to advisory board or permission of any change? <br /> 775 <br /> 776 Patrick Byker: Unless we change what was shown on the plan today,that is correct. <br /> 777 <br /> 778 Beth Bronson: But not if you don't build it? <br /> 779 <br /> 780 Patrick Byker: Correct. <br /> 781 <br /> 782 Beth Bronson:And then, last presentation you said that the schools would take up one baseball field and one soccer <br /> 783 field,was there any allocation of the schools to the recreational field? <br /> 784 <br /> 785 Patrick Byker: I don't believe so, I'm sorry Joey couldn't be here tonight. <br /> 786 <br /> 787 Beth Bronson: Okay,thank you for that clarification.Are you representing HYAA as well as the? <br /> 788 <br /> 789 Patrick Byker: I do not represent HYAA, that is the presidential development team.They brought forward the proposal <br /> 790 that incorporates the utility to HYAA. <br /> 791 <br /> 792 Beth Bronson: If you're not representing the school then that question does not matter.And then,there is no body from <br /> 793 the school here today? <br /> 794 <br /> 795 Patrick Byker:We have board members. <br /> 796 <br /> 797 Beth Bronson: I wanted to know from the board members if you can speak to it-were there any other sites reviewed for <br /> 798 this high school that you know of?What was that process like?And how did you end up here on this one? <br /> 799 <br /> 800 Charter School Board Member: There were a few that were looked at this is such an ideal site for this because of the <br /> 801 adjacent fields as well as the parks and recs, this was definitely the main focus. <br /> 802 <br /> 803 Beth Bronson: How about how long did the search go on for? <br /> 804 <br /> 805 Board Member: It was about a year from when we got the charter from the state. <br /> 806 <br /> 807 Beth Bronson: Okay and then do you guys have a representation, like a lawyer. <br /> 808 <br /> 809 Board Member:We do, not here tonight. <br /> 810 <br /> 811 Beth Bronson: I think those are all the questions I have for you tonight. <br /> 812 <br /> 813 Chris Johnston:At the April 5 meeting, Jim Parker mentioned, "We do not need Hillsborough's water"and I just want to <br /> 814 understand what that means. Correct me if I'm wrong,they can't deny Hillsborough water if they have a school on site, or <br /> 815 is that an option? I just wanted to make sure I understand state law on that particular item. <br /> 816 <br /> 817 Patrick Byker: State law as I understand it, requires an allocation to be made for the school based on what is projected. <br /> 818 That's what the Town of Hillsborough's attorney....this is in the staff report as well...reservation of an allocation does not, <br /> 819 if I recall, according to the letter, is not a commitment to serve. <br /> 820 <br />
