007 <br />Aye: Frazier, Knecht, Parks, Reives, Smith, and Womack <br />Nay: None <br />Absent: Dalrymple <br />The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. <br />The Board considered an application for Lottery Funds for the Board of Education that had been <br />deferred at the October 21St meeting until a meeting between the County Manager, School <br />Superintendent, Chairman and Vice - Chairman from the Board of Commissioners, and Chairman and <br />Vice - Chairman from the School Board could meet and discuss this matter. County Manager John <br />Crumpton stated the FY 2013 -14 budget includes $700,000 of lottery proceeds. The Lee County Board <br />of Education has prepared an application to draw $700,000 of Lottery proceeds for Phase I of the <br />replacement of air handlers and electric heat at East Lee Middle School. The total project is expected <br />to cost $1,284,000. Since the initial request for Lottery proceeds the County Manager has met with the <br />Facilities Committee for the Board of Education. At that meeting, it was suggested using Energy <br />Savings Contracting (performance contracting) for the project and this was received with a favorable <br />recommendation from the committee. The recommendation has to go to the full Board of Education for <br />approval so in the meantime, the Facilities Committee and staff have asked that Commissioners <br />proceed with approval of the Lottery Funds request, subject to a thorough review of the performance <br />contracting proposal. If the proposal is feasible then the funds will not be drawn down for this project. If <br />the project is not feasible then the schools can proceed with the draw -down of Lottery funds. Time is of <br />a concern with the construction of East Lee needing to take place during the summer. After discussion, <br />Commissioner Reives moved to approve the Application for Lottery Funds contingent upon the <br />performance contracting project going forward, a copy of which is attached to these Minutes and by this <br />reference made a part hereof. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: <br />Aye: Frazier, Knecht, Parks, Reives, Smith, and Womack <br />Nay: None <br />Absent: Dalrymple <br />The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. <br />With no further business to come before the Board, Commissioner Frazier moved to adjourn the <br />meeting. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: <br />Aye: Frazier, Knecht, Parks, Reives, Smith, and Womack <br />Nay: None <br />Absent: Dalrymple <br />The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously and the meeting adjourned at <br />4:05 p.m. <br />ATTEST: <br />Gaynell M. Lee, Clerk to the Board <br />Charles T. Parks, Chairman <br />Lee County Board of Commissioners <br />
