In January, the board adopted a resolution requesting the Transylvania County Board of Commissioners to place a referendum on the November 2018 ballot for $68 million in general obligation bonds to provide needed renovations to Brevard High School, Rosman Middle School and Rosman High School. The board has also selected Clark Nexsen as its architectural firm for further work in regard to the master facilities plan and potential bond. The board will discuss next steps.
As a reminder, the Local Government Commission (LGC) recommends a 120-day process for approval for a ballot measure. Each of these steps are required, including public hearings.
- BOE passes resolution and makes a written request to the commissioners.
- Basics of what the bond will cover are clarified.
- County hires bond attorney.
- County applies to the LGC with the costs of the bond.
- LGC approves (assuming).
- Measure is placed on ballot.
- Public hearings and meetings held to promote the bond.
- Measure passes or not at election.
