<br />Pam Dubois, Deputy County Manager, reviewed the estimated figures for
<br />the COPS (Certificates of Participation) debt issue, not to exceed $145
<br />million, that will be issued next fiscal year. The proposed debt issue
<br />included the Cox Mill High School project; partial funding for some of the
<br />critical needs school projects and the Housing Unit for the Law Enforcement
<br />Complex. She pointed out the amount needed for Cabarrus County Schools could
<br />be reduced by approximately $1.9 million due to the Board's earlier approval
<br />of a Consent Agreement with Crosswinds at Rocky River, LLC c/o Grace
<br />Development Corporation, LLC, for the Mills at Rocky River Subdivision
<br />project, which included the donation of land for a school site. She asked
<br />the Board to approve the budget amendments for Cox Mill High School plus the
<br />critical needs projects; to adopt the Financing Resolution, including
<br />authorization for the County Manager and the Deputy County Manager to proceed
<br />with the necessary steps required by the Local Government Commission to issue
<br />Certificates of Participation financing up to $195,000,000; and to schedule a
<br />public hearing for November 19, 2007.
<br />UPON MOTION of Vice Chairman Juba, seconded by Commissioner White with
<br />Chairman Carruth, Vice Chairman Juba and Commissioners Mynatt and White
<br />voting for and Commissioner Privette voting against, the Board adopted the
<br />following budget amendments; adopted the following Financing Resolution,
<br />including authorizing the County Manager and the Deputy County Manager to
<br />proceed with the necessary steps requiredby the Local Government Commission
