Title: Recommendation: I recommend the School Board approve a revision to the FY 2006-2010 Five-Year Capital Plan and FY 2006 Capital Budget to replace the proposed Site Acquisition project for Boca Raton Community High School with a list of alternative projects as proposed by the Boca Raton HS School Advisory Council at their December 19, 2005 meeting. Description: · In 2004 the School Board agreed to include the site acquisition of Country Club Village, which is adjacent to the Boca Raton Community High School, in the list of Referendum projects. · After the Referendum passed in November 2004 the School District attempted to acquire Country Club Village, however, the property was sold to a different buyer. · At the December 19, 2005 Boca Raton HS SAC Meeting the administration and SAC of Boca Raton HS developed and prioritized a list of alternative projects, which could be done lieu of purchasing Country Club Village. · At the February 13, 2006 Boca Raton HS SAC Meeting the SAC voted to ask the ISSOC and School Board to support the alternative projects they developed at their December 19, 2005 meeting instead of continuing to pursue the acquisition of Country Club Village. The SAC vote was 24 - 3 in favor the alternative projects. The SAC has reserved to right to refine the list of projects as they may want to substitute or adjust one or more projects after they have had the chance to discuss this matter further amongst themselves. · At the February 24, 2006 Independent Sales Surtax Oversight Committee (ISSOC) Meeting the ISSOC voted to support the Boca Raton HS SAC's recommendation to substitute the alternative projects for the acquisition of County Club Village. Financial Impact: The Site Acquisition budget will be reduced by $5 million and $5 million will be set aside for the projects developed and prioritized by the Boca Raton HS SAC at its December 19, 2005 meeting.
