BACKGROUND: At the December 11, 2007 Board of County Commissioners' meeting, the Board approved the November 15, 2007 actual membership and capacity numbers for both Orange County Schools (OCS) and Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS). Additional approvals/certifications, as outlined in the table below, are required by the SAPFO partners MOUs (Memorandum of Understanding). At the May 1, 2008 BOCC meeting, the Board received for review the draft 2008 SAPFOTAC report. The draft report was also posted on the Orange County Planning Department's web site. A letter and the Executive Summary of the report was sent to all SAPFO partners on May 5, 2008 advising them of the availability of the draft report and inviting comment. Comments were requested for submission prior to May 30, 2008. No comments have been received, but staff did receive official notification that the Chapel Hill Town Council formally received the report at its May 19, 2008 regular meeting. The May 1, 2008 abstract incorrectly stated that membership growth at the Middle School level in OCS was 57 students this year; the actual growth was 61 students. The exact pages of the 2008 SAPFOTAC report that the BOCC will be acknowledging and certifying are listed below. The context (i.e.: definitions and standards) of the various SAPFO elements precedes the data to be certified and is within the full report. 2 Element Page in Certification to be made by BOCC SAPFOTAC Re ort Building capacity 11 through 16 Building capacity and current year with CIP changes membership was approved at the December 11, 2007 meeting.

RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the 2008 SAPFOTAC Annual Report as specified in the report certification summary table herein.
