recommendations were given, and both school systems proceeded with design work and pre -
construction requirements. Blumenstein said since that time, different financing mechanisms
were reviewed for the projects totaling $106 million, and the task force recommended the usage
of Certificates of Participation. She said $80 million would fund Iredell-Statesville projects and
$26 million was recommended for Mooresville -Graded. Blumenstein said the exact amount of

not be required.
