The BOCC determined that they would provide $27.8 million in capital <br />funding for this project. The BOCC also indicated that they would provide an additional $2.2 <br />million for the project if CHCCS provided the BOCC with a satisfactory proposal `for a design of <br />CHCCS high school #3 that promotes smart-growth, which design addresses `reduced parking, <br />reduced] land disturbance, and other deleterious aspects of current plans' ': <br />Following discussion of the proposed interlocal agreement at their July 17, 2003 meeting, the <br />Chapel Hill-Carrboro Board of Education at their August 7, 2003 approved the agreement in the <br />same form as previously approved by the County Commissioners. The Board of Education has <br />submitted two proposed addenda to the agreement for consideration by the BOCC. The first <br />addendum seeks to clarify several points from the basic agreement. The second addendum <br />proposes objective smart-growth criteria that CHCCS would have to meet in order to qualify for <br />the additional $2.2 million in capital funding for the high school project. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated directly with the discussion of <br />this item. However, as noted above and in accordance with the interlocal agreement approved <br />by both governing boards, the high school #3 capital project budget will be increased by $2.2 <br />
