BACKGROUND: During several recent BOCC meetings, the Board has discussed plans to formally receive and consider a CHCCS proposal to site a third high school on a site near Rock Haven Road, just off Smith Level Road in the southern part of the school district. The BOCC expressed interest in receiving a 15 minute presentation of the proposal from CHCCS representatives at this April 24 work session. Staff will also provide at or before the work session an assessment of the implications of the proposal, particularly in the context of the development of the County's 2003-2013 Capital Investment Plan (CIP). FINANCIAL IMPACT: The CHCCS Board resolution of April 10, 2003 requested that the BOCC approve the purchase of the three properties included in the proposed site "for the final appraised value". The accompanying CHCCS background materials indicate that the appraised value of those three properties is $2,535,700. The total project cost for the third high school reflected in the draft CHCCS CIP for 2003-2013 is approximately $34 million. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive the proposal from the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Board of Education and provide appropriate direction to the Manager, Attorney, and staff.
