Title
Consideration of Request to Approve Specific Projects for the Schools CIP Allocation
Recommended Action
I move the Council approve the projects included in this agenda for the Schools CIP allocation.
County Manager's Recommendation
The County Manager recommends that Council approve the projects as requested.
Body
The County and Los Alamos Public Schools (LAPS) meet monthly to discuss common issues. During one of these recent meetings, LAPS presented requests for projects that could use the support of the County's CIP funds.
Those requests are being presented here for Council's consideration for approval.
In prior years, the County and LAPS discussed the mutual benefits of collaborating on projects. One result of those discussion was that the County adopted a policy for consideration of funding schools project requests. That policy is attached for reference purposes.
The County CIP fund includes the following funds for schools CIP project requests:

FY 2020 - $1,000,000 current year appropriation and available
FY 2021 - $1,000,000 next year projection and unallocated
