• Catherine: At the board meeting on the 2 1" ORED will be <br /> presenting the land use study that they've conducted for OCS and <br /> this includes info on land use for CHCCS. It's not the completed <br /> report for them, he's just looking at employers in the area and <br /> potential new jobs added. He's looking at development barriers and <br /> incentives in the area. He'll present a wide overview of that. He'll <br /> then discuss his models for providing a 10 year forecast for us with <br /> this development. I'm assuming the model for projecting would be <br /> very similar and this is something you could address with him on <br /> Monday. <br /> • Bonnie: The other issue is that SAPFO has been mis-estimating our <br /> school capacity <br /> • Catherine: I believe this is part of what the Woolpert group is <br /> presenting to us, so that was not a task assigned to ORED <br /> • Rani: The data will be available for OCS and their reassignment <br /> consideration. I am concerned about speed of this process without <br /> clarity on what changes are and I want to be sure this is sustainable. <br /> We want to be sure we create something that's the most flexible and <br /> sustainable. It sounds like information is available, and the process <br /> change is separate. <br /> • Cy: I propose that staff get together and provide you all with a <br /> simple digest of the two options: business as usual or a resolution to <br /> redefine the report.I can put together an outline for you all to review, <br /> and with SAPFOTECs approval,if that would be helpful. But we do <br /> need to make a decision at a staff level by October. <br /> • Jean: I think this has to go to the leadership of the BOCC. <br /> Commissioners all need to know and feel comfortable, as well as the <br /> public. <br /> • Bonnie: What's important to me is that the Woolpert study and <br /> redistricting isn't bound by old standards. So perhaps we could treat <br /> these as a pilot of the new models. So we'd need to relax the <br /> ordinance, build pilot <br /> • Jean: You can do redistricting irrespective of SAPFO. The <br /> information you learn from that will be helpful in this process <br /> • Bonnie: I am interested in ensuring that we have a more accurate <br /> idea of school capacity <br /> • Jean: We can go ahead with the new information without SAPFO <br /> • Bonnie: What about Woolpert and assumptions they're making? <br /> • Jean: You can use those for your school district <br /> • Rani: Is there anything that stops you from using Woolpert data <br /> because of SAPFO? I don't think so. From a combined district <br /> county process we need alignment on how this capacity info process <br /> is going to work <br /> • Bonnie: We'll see a SAPFO report that indicates a different level of <br /> capacity than what is true. I don't want to use SAPFO anymore <br /> because it mis-informs <br />
