PURPOSE: To approve various certifications related to student membership projections of the
Orange County Schools (OCS) and Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS), as outlined in
the draft Annual Report of the SAPFO Technical Advisory Committee (SAPFOTAC) and the
incorporated forms.

outlined in the table below, are required by the SAPFO partners MOUs (Memorandum of
Understanding).
At the April 10, 2006 BOCC meeting, the Board reviewed the draft of the 2006 SAPFOTAC
report. The draft report was also pasted 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 April
11, 2006 advising them of the availability of the draft report and inviting comment, Comments
were requested for submission prior to May 2, 2006. No comments have been received;
however, the Town Council of Chapel Hill adopted a resolution endorsing the 2006 SAPFOTAC
Report at their May 8, 2006 Council meeting.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: As was detailed in the April 10, 2006 abstract, the total financial impact
of constructing necessary schools could exceed $120 million over the ten-year period.
Additional ongoing facility costs for the new schools would increase that number substantially.

SAPFOTAG Annual Report as specified in the report certification summary table herein.
