ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: June 26, 2003 <br />Action Age ~d~a <br />Item No. ~_ <br />SUBJECT: Purchase Price for Options to Purchase Property for Orange County Schools' <br />Middle School #3 <br />DEPARTMENT: County Commissioners PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />OCS Middle School #3 Capital Project <br />Ordinance <br />6/17/03 OCS Attorney Letter <br />Area Map <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Moses Carey, ext 2125 <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough 732-8181 <br />Chapel Hill 968-4501 <br />Durham 688-7331 <br />Mebane 336-227-2031 <br />PURPOSE: To consider approving the amount to be paid for options to purchase parcels of <br />property for the proposed site of the planned third middle school in the Orange County Schools <br />(OCS) district. <br />BACKGROUND: Funds in the amount of $18.5 million were included in the successful <br />November 2001 bond referendum for the siting and construction of a third middle school in the <br />Orange County Schools system.
