He said one of the things is trying to segment them such that there's one project at a time, <br /> 6 so that the pay-go can be best delivered to that big project. <br /> 7 Commissioner Bedford emphasized the flexibility of the pay-go each year. <br /> 8 Commissioner Carter agreed. <br /> 9 Chair Hamilton said the Board will be having continuous conversations with the school boards. <br /> 10 <br /> 11 Slide#9 <br /> High Priority Needs <br /> High Priority Needs—$6.4 million <br /> • Appropriated by Project <br /> • Specific Projects Enumerated Annually for Flexibility <br /> • Financed Using Annual Debt,Lottery Proceeds,and Remaining Bond or Supplemental Pay-Go <br /> High Priority Needs Recommended <br /> East Chapel Hill High Roof Replacement $3.0 million <br /> Carrboro High Roof Replacement $1.2 million <br /> Mary Scroggs Elementary Trailer HVAC Replacement $56,400 <br /> AL Stanback Middle HVAC Replacement—Paired with$5.28 M Major $2.1 million <br /> Project Funding in FY 2028 based on$7.4 M total project cost <br /> TOTAL $6.4 million <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> 9 NORTH CAROLINA <br /> 12 <br />
