<br /> <br />December 13, 2006. Therefore, the College was requesting the County to fund a portion of <br />th <br />the College Lane extension and bridge connections with 66 Avenue. <br /> <br />Chairman Wheeler had a problem with taking $600,000.00 of gas tax and impact <br />fee monies and moving that into the Library fund. He understood they were saving money <br />on the road and the bridge project, but he had a problem with moving money intended for <br />transportation, and he had trouble supporting this request. <br /> <br />Administrator Baird explained that in order for the County to build the bridge and <br />th <br />have the road go through to 16 Street they would have to do it on their own (with gas tax <br />dollars). He made the decision to “take advantage of an opportunity” to have half of the <br />cost for the bridge paid for through the Library’s grant and then leverage the funds. He <br />advised that there were three (3) advantages to his making that decision: a better <br />intersection, a savings in gas tax funds, and being able to leverage funding they can take the <br />additional money and have it doubled with matching State funds. <br /> <br />th <br />Commissioner Davis remarked that there are a number of bridges on 66 Avenue <br />that need replacement and he liked the idea of replacing one bridge ahead of development. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued and staff clarified their method of leveraging funds for the <br />Library project. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />ON MOTION by Vice Chair Bowden, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Flescher, by a 4-1 <br />vote (Chairman Wheeler opposed) the Board <br />approved the First Amendment to the Funding <br />December 19, 2006 26 <br /> <br />
