raK 23 FA -1120 Commissioner Shook thanked everything in attendance but expressed concerns over the mold issues at the school and broken toilets that don't "just happen overnight". When you build a house you want the best but sometimes have to cut back on certain things. She expressed concerns about the economy, additional layoffs predicted in the county, and no growth in the tax base. Commissioner Shook further stated she was opposed to the request for additional funding and would like to see the Board of Education proceed with funding they have already received. Commissioner Reives questioned the $350,000 per year received from lottery sales. He further stated he wants to know what the plan is to repay the project and would like to see the county receive lottery funds for the next three to five years (instead of transferring said amount to the schools). After further discussion, Commissioner Reives asked Commissioner Kelly to amend the motion to proceed with funding of the Lee Senior High School project up to $23,000,000, and use lottery proceeds of $350,000 per year if needed, up to five years, and Resolution Supplementing and Amending the Resolution Making Certain Findings and Determinations Regarding the Proposed Financing of Public School Improvements for the County Pursuant to an Installment Financing Agreement and Requesting the Local Government Commission to Approve the Financing Arrangement Adopted on April 5, 2010, a copy of which is attached to these minutes and by this reference made a part hereof.
