Approve Resolution for Impact Fee Fund Disbursement from the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners  for Construction, Construction Management and Design for an Addition of 20 Classrooms at Lennard High School, South County Region

Based on overcrowding at East Bay High School and to support on-going growth at Riverview and Lennard High Schools, the School Board of Hillsborough County will be constructing a 20 classroom addition at Lennard High School on Shell Point Road, Ruskin.  The addition is slated to open in August 2015 for the 2015-2016 school year.

Hillsborough County's Consolidated Impact Assessment Program (the Impact Fee Program) requires that the School Board approve a resolution for disbursement of Impact Fee Funds held by Hillsborough County for expenses related to construction, construction management and design for school facilities.  Estimated construction and capital equipment for the 20 classroom addition at Lennard is $5,065,790 and the School Board's Impact Fee Account available balance is approximately $2,500,000.  By approval of this Resolution, the School Board is requesting to draw funds from the Board's Impact Fee Account when sufficient funds are available up to $5,065,790. 

The Resolution will approve the School Board of Hillsborough County to receive $5,065,790 in impact fees for the construction and related qualifying expenditure fees from Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners for a 20 classroom addition at Lennard High School as these funds become available in the School Board's impact fee account.
