take out a section than to lower the quality of the building. They have an opportunity to make a <br />statement about the environment. <br />Lisa Stuckey said that her board would support what Steve Scroggs said. She said <br />that deleting the auditorium but including the multi-purpose room instead gives them the <br />opportunity to still have the programs associated with the fine arts. She would also hate to cut <br />the fields when there are so many issues with obesity and juvenile diabetes. They have thought <br />about this. <br />Commissioner Gordon said that if the auditorium were deleted, it would take off $2.3 <br />million. This would leave $5.2 million needed. If the $4.3 million were reallocated, it would still <br />leave a $900,000 short fall which might mean that athletic facilities would be deleted.. She <br />pointed out that if the school system is given a 19% cost overrun like was given to Middle <br />School #3, that would be $5.7 million. <br />Chair Carey asked for a motion, since it was time to start the work session. <br />John Link said that appendix 19 is the priority order of the major capital projects that <br />CHCCS has identified for 2005-06. He said that if it were he, he would look at this list to see if <br />he could find a way to delay some of these projects to come up with $900,000. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis proposed that the Board approve up to a certain amount and <br />then anything beyond that, the two staffs can get together and see what they can come up with. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Chair Carey to reallocate <br />$4.3 million from the Elementary School #10 funds. <br />VOTE: Ayes, 4; No, Commissioner Gordon (she would like to give them $5.2 million) <br />The continuation of the meeting of May 3, 2005 was adjourned at 7:37 p.m. <br />Moses Carey, Jr., <br />Chair <br />Donna S. Baker <br />Clerk to the Board <br />
