Commissioner Adams discussed a Resolution Authorizing Certificates of Participation for FY 2006-07 Capital Improvement Program projects. Mr. Adams stated that it appeared, by the Resolution presented, that Certificates of Participation (COPS) would be used as the funding mechanism for all new upcoming projects, where in the past Bonds were issued. Mr. Adams further stated it would be good to have public input concerning the construction of a new middle school. Chairman Hincks stated that a special bond referendum would have to be held because there wasn't enough time to place the matter on the November ballot. County Manager David Smitherman stated the proposed resolution was only a "statement of intent" and more steps would follow. Additional information was requested in reference to adding a bond referendum to the ballots for the November 7, 2006 general election.

A price upgrade had been negotiated of an additional fifteen (15¢) cents per meal to cover a requested menu and upgrade the food quality for Senior Services meals. This fifteen-cent additional cost was reflected in the above reference budget amendment. Ms. Davidson 7
