• Provide replacement funding at replacement amounts and allow rehabilitation work for projects at two sites: $5,228,894 for Jack Norton Elementary School, and $5,243,238 for Orleans Elementary School.
• Provide apportionments for the above projects.
• Make a finding that if the District’s three remaining applications qualify for funding, and bond authority is available, staff shall present requests for replacement funding for rehabilitation work and apportionments outside the Priority Funding process.

Motion: To accept the staff recommendations: APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY
