138 <br /> <br /> · After discussion, the Board by consensus agreed to the "Deletions" as <br />listed with the exception of the revolving file for the Elections Office. This <br />item was moved to the "items frozen pending board review". <br /> <br /> Sheriff Canaday reviewed the funding request for the vehicles, bailiff and <br />the additional patrol squad. The Board by consensus agreed to remove the funding <br />for the vehicles and radios and bailiff from the "frozen" status. No formal <br />action was taken regarding the new patrol squad. <br /> <br /> The funding for the Property Maintenance truck and improvements to meet ADA <br />requirements remained "frozen" pending further review by the Board. <br /> <br /> The Board by consensus deleted the proposed $5,000.00 from "Additions" for <br />the fire proof file cabinet for Elections. The Board by consensus approved the <br />recommended increase in funding for Meals-on-Wheels, Cooperative Christian <br />Ministries, Historic Cabarrus, GVAN, and Communities in Schools. The other items <br />listed in "Additions" will be discussed at a later date. <br /> <br />School Facility Needs <br /> <br /> Chairman Barnhart discussed the demands that the unprecedented growth in <br />Cabarrus County is placing on government services. While many areas are <br />affected, one of the most costly is the increase in student population in the <br />County schools. This growth is having a major impact on such areas as <br />facilities, current expense funding for the Kannapolis City School system, and <br />the demand on local property taxes to fund educational needs. Chairman Barnhart <br />reviewed the capacity of the County schools and listed the estimated cost of top <br />priority capacity needs as follows: West Cabarrus Elementary at $6.7 million, <br />East Side Elementary at $6.0 million, and Rocky River Elementary at $6.4 million. <br />He pointed out that a commitment of five cents (5¢) on the tax rate for a "pay- <br />as-you-go" approach would not generate sufficient funds until January 1, 1997 to <br />build the first school. Therefore, Chairman Barnhart presented the "Cabarrus <br />County Public Education Facility Needs, Action Plan for Resolution" which <br />included the following short-term and long-term proposals. <br /> <br />Short-Term: The Board of Commissioners should fund a facility to address <br />the immediate need for housing new students based on a "capacity driven" <br />approach to ease the over-crowding in the most critical areas first. The <br />following conditions should apply: <br /> a. Board of Commissioners will have final sign-off on the project <br /> prior to release of funds or bid award. <br />b. Options will be explored for the most cost effective way of <br /> addressing these needs, including input from the schools and <br /> the community and consideration of such items as the modular <br /> schools located in Florida. <br /> Long Term: To address more comprehensive facility needs, the Board of <br /> Commissioners and the two School systems should jointly pursue a course of <br /> action, beginning with a process of building broad-based support for <br /> educational needs within Cabarrus County. One suggested way to begin is <br /> to hold an education summit session(s) for open discussion to achieve the <br /> following goals: <br /> a. To build consensus on what the facility needs are. <br /> b. To seek ideas and understand alternative methods for funding <br /> various needs in the county. <br /> c. To build consensus on what funding methodology to use~ <br /> d. To gain an understanding of how the community wants to see <br /> educational services delivered in the future. <br /> A suggested process to follow would be the establishment of a <br />questionnaire for gathering public input, seek volunteers to do a random <br />telephone survey, compile generic results of survey, hold public education <br />summit meeting(s), compile additional input gained, prepare ACTION PLAN to <br />address the issues and implement solution that has broad public support, <br />and "make it happen". <br /> <br /> Chairman Barnhart also presented the proposal to increase taxes by five <br />cents (5¢) to include the following: <br /> <br />Base Budget: <br />>Education Increase in current expense <br />>Education - Increase in capital <br /> <br />$.0082 <br />$.0016 <br /> <br /> <br />
