<br />Will Crabtree, KCS Director of Business Operations, advised the
<br />priority of requests was revised and they are now listed in the following
<br />order:
<br />Todd Adams, KCS Board of Education Chairman, advised the Woodrow Wilson
<br />Gym Addition was moved to the bottom of the list due to the facility being
<br />partially located in Rowan County.
<br />Mr. Crabtree advised many of the renovation requests are in regards to
<br />safety upgrades. He stated the large parking lot across from A.L. Brown is
<br />experiencing sinkholes and will require a total renovation.
<br />Chairman Adams and Dr. Pamela Cain, KCS Superintendent, advised the
<br />list is prioritized and requested if any items are removed, that they be
<br />removed in order of least importance.
<br />Commissioner Oesterreich compared a 20 -year bond to short -term
<br />financing and suggested short -term funding for the new middle school as a way
<br />to reduce debt.
<br />A discussion ensued. During discussion, Ann Wilson, Finance Director;
<br />Joe Niggel, Underwriter; Chairman Adams and Mr. Crabtree responded to
<br />questions from the Board.
