051 <br />LEE COUNTY <br />Committed Today for a Better Tomorrow <br />LEE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ITEM ABSTRACT ITEM NO. V. B. <br />Information <br />Meeting Date: January 4, 2016 XX Action Item <br />Consent Agenda <br />SUBJECT: Facility Needs Assessment — Lee County School System <br />DEPARTMENT: Administration / BOE <br />CONTACT PERSON: John Crumpton / Dr. Andy Bryan <br />REQUEST: Approval of Facility Needs Assessment for the Lee County <br />School System <br />SUMMARY: Every 5 years the Board of Education must submit a Facility <br />Needs Assessment to the Department of Public Instruction (State Board of Education). The report <br />is used by the State to assess project facility needs for the next 5-10 years, statewide and locally. <br />Since the County is required by State Statute to fund facility capital needs it is required that the <br />County approve the Assessment before it is forwarded to the State. The Lee County Board of <br />Education approved the Assessment at their December 8, 2015 meeting. The certification which is <br />approved by the Commissioners says that our signatures do "not necessarily constitute <br />endorsement or commitment to fund the Facility Needs Survey." The certification is a statement <br />that we have received the Assessment and have reviewed it, not endorsed it. <br />BUDGET IMPACT: The Assessment does not commit the County to funding any <br />of the projects mentioned in the Assessment. Our Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and the <br />annual budget make those commitments. <br />ATTACHMENT(S): (1) December 16th letter from Dr. Andy Bryan to John <br />Crumpton, and (2) 2015-16 DPI Facility Needs Survey <br />PUBLIC HEARING: <br />PRIOR BOARD ACTION: <br />No <br />Last approved in January 2011 <br />RECOMMENDATION: Authorize Chairman and County Manager to sign the <br />Assessment on behalf of Lee County Government <br />
