Pedersen <br />Superintendent <br />Raymond J. Reitz <br />Chief Technology Officer <br />TO: John Link <br />County Manager <br />FROM: Neil G. Pedersen <br />Superintendent <br />RE: Interlocal Agreement <br />DATE: August 11, 2003 <br />Nettie Collins-Hark, Assistant Superintendent <br />for Instructional Services <br />Steve Scroggs, Assistant Superintendent <br />for Support Services <br />Recognizing that time is of the essence to open High School #3 for the 2006-2007 <br />School Year, the Board of Education approved the Interlocal Agreement during its <br />August 7"' meeting. However, the Interlocal Agreement, as drafted, did not seem to fully <br />memorialize the understanding that the Board of Education thought that it had reached <br />with the Board of Commissioners. <br />Accordingly, I have enclosed two proposed addenda that seek to clarify and <br />expand a few points from the first agreement. The first addendum addresses terms that <br />may already be implicit in the original agreement, but would give the Board of Education <br />assurance of the intent of the Board of Commissioners. The second addendum proposes <br />objective smart-growth criteria that must be met for the Board of Education to receive the <br />$2.2 million appropriation. All of the Board's past construction projects have conformed <br />with its own high performance standards. The BOCC's expedient identification of any <br />proposed additional smart-growth requirements will allow the design team to move <br />forward to accommodate those elements identified as "smart growth." We look forward <br />to a prompt response to these addenda in light of the severe time constraints under which <br />we are operating. <br />
