'At that time, Council was requested to appropriate an amount that did not include the major portion of funds allocated to equip the school because it was 5ot necessary:for this expenditure to be included at that point of project completion. The balance of~ the $650,000 earmarked for this purpose ($589,520), was included in FY 90-91 of the t~990-9.5 Capital Improvement Plan. Since the contractor plans to have the construction completed in August 1991, appropriation of the balance of the funding is necessary to begin the ordering process. Due to the long lead time necessary in these-types of purchases, this process must be initiated in the next month. The Director Of Public Works, who is coordinating the construction, recommends appropriation of the necessary funds at this time. I have written to the School Superintendent advising him again of my willingness to assist with these purchases. I believe that with prudent selection of items and aggressive competitive procurement we will be able to fully outfit the school within the amount allocated for this purpose. I have attached a copy of this letter for your information. I, therefore, concur with the Director of Public Works and recommend that the City Council appropriate $589,520 to purchase furniture for the new Churchland High School. The balance remaining in the Capital Improvement fund upon your approval of this item will be $11,662,679." Edgar M. Morgan, Jr., 3404 Freemason Drive, Principal of Churchland High School, spoke in support of this item and.also asked that Council try to find further funding in order to completely supply the proper furnishings for the new high school.
