141 <br /> <br />location of the new school will be the School Board's responsibility based upon <br />recommendations by School Administration. Mrs. Mynatt indicated that her <br />committee would be reviewing facility plans, studying various options, and <br />gathering statistics in its efforts to educate the public about the needs of the <br />schools. <br /> <br /> There was general agreement that the modular school option as presented on <br />June 6 by Commissioner Carpenter should be pursued. Mr. Lentz indicated he would <br />send the information to the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction to <br />ascertain if that type of school could be permitted in North Carolina. If so, <br />a trip will be made to Florida by County and School officials to view the modular <br />school facilities. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Carpenter pointed out that there are facility needs in the <br />Kannapolis City Schools, specifically the construction of a wing at the current <br />middle school to house the sixth grade students. She stated the new wing would <br />enable the Kannapolis Schools to establish a true middle school concept as now <br />exists in the Cabarrus County Schools. <br /> <br />Proposed Merger of the Kannapolis City Schools and the Cabarrus County Schools <br /> <br /> Mrs. Alston read a resolution adopted by the County Board of Education <br />asking that the Board of Education be included in any discussions regarding the <br />merger of the Cabarrus County and Kannapolis City School systems. <br /> <br /> There was lengthy discussion regarding the issue of the merger of the two <br />systems. Mr. Witherspoon explained the process by which a merger could occur and <br />stated that a study could be made of the merger issue. Schools officials <br />indicated that the merger of the two systems would not save local tax money. <br /> <br />Establishment of Committee <br /> <br /> Chairman Barnhart suggested that the County Schools Facilities Committee <br />meet with members of the Board of Commissioners and the Kannapolis Board of <br />Education to discuss educational needs, including facilities, long range plans, <br />and the possible merger of the two school systems. Mrs. Mynatt pointed out that <br />the purpose of her committee was to study facility needs and not merger; however, <br />the Board of Education did agree for the Facilities Committee to participate in <br />the meetings with the Board of Commissioners and Kannapolis Schools. Chairman <br />Barnhart and Commissioner Carpenter will represent the Board of Commissioners. <br />Also, Chairman Barnhart will contact Ms. Millie Hall, Chairman of the Kannapolis <br />Board of Education, to invite that Board's participation in the meetings. <br /> <br />Adjournment of the Board of Education Meeting and Recess of the Board of <br />Commissioners Meeting <br /> <br /> The meeting of the Board of Education was adjourned at 9:05 P.M. Chairman <br />Barnhart recessed the meeting of the Board of Commissioners 9:05 P.M. for 15 <br />minutes. <br /> <br />FY 1995 Budget Review <br /> <br /> Chairman Barnhart reconvened the meeting of the Board of Commissioners at <br />9:20 P.M. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Fennel presented the "1994/1995 Budget Considerations" in <br />which he discussed the need to find a better way to deliver and fund county <br />services. He proposed the establishment of a School Funding Task Force to <br />address such issues as school merger, impact fees, reductions in school <br />administrative personnel and administrative costs, a "year round" school plan, <br />and a "pay for play" plan for the schools. Also, he proposed the establishment <br />of a Government Service Levels Task Force to (1) develop a plan to reduce through <br />attrition the number of employees by five percent (5%) by July 1, 1995, and (2) <br />create a private citizens commission to recommend ways to reduce County spending <br />by ten percent (10%) in the FY 1995-96 budget. Commissioner Fennel further <br />recommended consideration of the following funding options: Optional 1¢ sales <br />tax, seat tax, "Pay-As-You-Go" Enterprise fund, and a possible property tax <br />credit for parents whose children are home schooled or attend private schools. <br />In conclusion, he presented the following FY 1994-95 budget change requests. <br /> <br /> <br />
