Commissioner Jacobs said that the Homestead Road and Weaver Dairy Road
Extension would be busy when Carolina North is built. He asked how this was incorporated in
the design and the fact that there would be a lot of noise on the same side as the glass.
Richard Gurlitz said that there will be a 30-foot buffer and the insulated glass.
Commissioner Jacobs said that the ERCD staff will work with Richard Gurlitz to assure
that the trees are conserved.
Richard Gurlitz said that the Town of Chapel Hill Manager and staff are requesting a
crosswalk to Homestead Park that was requested by Active Seniors. The cost would be
$60,000-$100,000 and the city will define it more in the SUP process. Others have said that
this crosswalk should not be part of the site but the Town wants to keep it in as part of the
approval process and it would have to be approved through DOT.
Commissioner Jacobs suggested taking the money for this crosswalk out of the money
to be used for Homestead Park. He suggested asking the Town to defer consideration of the
crosswalk until there can be a conversation about it. The Chair should write a letter to the Town
stating that the Board's position is that the crosswalk not be made a condition of approval until
there is a discussion about it.
A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to
approve plans as submitted and to add language to the resolution that the crosswalk not be
part of the condition of approval.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS
b. Approval of Fiscal Year 2005-06 Budget Ordinance, Capital Project
Ordinances, and Grant Project Ordinances
The Board considered adopting the County's budget ordinance, capital project
ordinances, and grant project ordinances for FY 2005-06.
John Link said that the Board made confirmed changes to the Manager's
Recommended Budget, which are highlighted in the Resolution of Intent. Page 5 specifically
captures the major changes to the budget. Section 1 states the major funds in the budget.
Section 2 identifies the appropriation by major function. Section 3 is the revenue side. Section
4 is the tax rate lery for the fire districts. Section 5 states the approved per pupil amount for
current expense, which is $2,796 per student. There are 10 sections.
The yellow paper has the actual motions for the Board to consider.
John Link said that because of actions the Board took during deliberations on capital,
they will have to bring back the revised capital improvement plan for the two school systems
and the County after the break.
Commissioner Jacobs asked about the percentage of the budget used for education.
Budget Director Donna Dean said that the education funding equals $72 million, which is 48%
of the general fund. This includes current expense, recurring capital, long-range capital, debt
service, and school nurses.
Commissioner Halkiotis asked about non-departmental allocations and Donna Dean
said that this is not included. She will bring this information back. Commissioner Halkiotis said
that it is important to highlight that because if it were taken away, there would be significant
impacts.
