The Board received an update on the funding status of approved capital projects for the County and the school systems, and considered approval of capital project ordinances for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools and Orange County. Assistant County Manager Rod Visser said that the staff is asking the Board to take two specific sets of actions. The first action relates to funding for Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School projects, specifically providing an appropriation so that the Glenwood Elementary renovation project can get into full swing. The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Board of Education has approved construction contracts for this project,and there was already$950,000 worth of 1997 bonds that were programmed with the understanding that the Chapel Hill- Carrboro Board of Education would have to look at some of its other projects and come up with some savings to fund the full construction costs. The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Board of Education has identified some savings and is proposing to transfer$277,000+ in savings from the Scroggs Elementary project to cover the renovation. The action for the Board is to adopt the project ordinance to appropriate the funds for the Glenwood Elementary renovations and adopt the project ordinance that would reallocate funds and reduce the project aUocaionfnrthaS Elementary project.
