BACKGROUND: Chapter 136 -44.8 of the General Statutes of North Carolina (NCGS) requires that the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) meet with the Board of County Commissioners at a public meeting to present and discuss with the Board and other citizens the proposed secondary road paving projects (Secondary Roads Construction Program). NCDOT, in compliance with NCGS 136 -44.8, posted a county map at the court house and at the Southern Human Services Center on April 24th showing tentative secondary road paving projects, and has published notice of the public hearing in the News of Orange County, The Chapel Hill News, and the Mebane Enterprise. The 2012 -2013 allocation for Orange County secondary (Attachment 1) roads totals $700,080. The allocation includes: Est. Cost II. General Secondary Road Improvements $ 650,000 IV. Surveying, right -of -way acquisition, additions, contingencies, overdrafts, etc. $ 50,080 Total $ 700,080 The FY 2012 -2013 allocation represents a 34% decrease in funding from the $1,053,833 allocation for the 2011 -2012 Construction Program. The roads included in the program are: • New Sharon Church Road from SR 1553 (Walker Rd) to SR 1548 (Schley Rd)- Widen existing lanes 2' and resurface; and • Lebanon Road from SR 1376 (Stagecoach Rd) to SR 1004 (Efland Cedar Grove Road) - Widen existing lanes 2' and resurface. 2 These projects can be seen on the project map (Attachment 2). The program is subject to the availability of funds, rights of way, environmental and historical review. If right -of -way is not available on the specified unpaved roads or if additional funds are allocated, other roads will be programmed in order of priority. In accordance with North Carolina General Statute §136 -44.8, "the board of county commissioners may (i) concur in the construction program as proposed, or (ii) take no action, or (iii) make recommendations for deviations in the proposed construction program, except as to paving projects and the priority of paving projects for which the board in order to make recommendations for deviations, must vote to consider the matter at a later public meeting ..." FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact associated with this item. RECOMMENDATIONS: The Manager recommends that the Board hold the public hearing to discuss and receive comments regarding the 2012 -2013 Secondary Roads Construction Programs for Orange County, and concur with the proposed programs. 3 Attachment 1 North Carolina Department of Transportation Secondary Roads Construction Program FY 2012/2013 Available Funds Highway Fund $300,890 Trust Fund $399,190 Total $700,080 I.
