BK - 00026 PG Aye: Frazier, Knecht, Parks, Reives, Smith, and Womack Nay: None Absent: Dalrymple The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. The Board considered an application for Lottery Funds for the Board of Education that had been deferred at the October 21St meeting until a meeting between the County Manager, School Superintendent, Chairman and Vice - Chairman from the Board of Commissioners, and Chairman and Vice - Chairman from the School Board could meet and discuss this matter. County Manager John Crumpton stated the FY 2013 -14 budget includes $700,000 of lottery proceeds. The Lee County Board of Education has prepared an application to draw $700,000 of Lottery proceeds for Phase I of the replacement of air handlers and electric heat at East Lee Middle School. The total project is expected to cost $1,284,000. Since the initial request for Lottery proceeds the County Manager has met with the Facilities Committee for the Board of Education. At that meeting, it was suggested using Energy Savings Contracting (performance contracting) for the project and this was received with a favorable recommendation from the committee. The recommendation has to go to the full Board of Education for approval so in the meantime, the Facilities Committee and staff have asked that Commissioners proceed with approval of the Lottery Funds request, subject to a thorough review of the performance contracting proposal. If the proposal is feasible then the funds will not be drawn down for this project. If the project is not feasible then the schools can proceed with the draw -down of Lottery funds. Time is of a concern with the construction of East Lee needing to take place during the summer. After discussion, Commissioner Reives moved to approve the Application for Lottery Funds contingent upon the performance contracting project going forward, a copy of which is attached to these Minutes and by this reference made a part hereof. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Frazier, Knecht, Parks, Reives, Smith, and Womack Nay: None Absent: Dalrymple The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. With no further business to come before the Board, Commissioner Frazier moved to adjourn the meeting. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Frazier, Knecht, Parks, Reives, Smith, and Womack Nay: None Absent: Dalrymple The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously and the meeting adjourned at 4:05 p.m. ATTEST: 1 .
