CHCCS — Debt Service Application INFORMATION CONTACT: Clarence Grier, (919) 245 -2453 PURPOSE: To approve an application to the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) to release funds from the NC Education Lottery account related to FY 2013 -14 debt service payments for Chapel Hill — Carrboro City Schools, and to approve Budget Amendment #9 -A (amended School Capital Project Ordinances), contingent on the State's approval of the application. BACKGROUND: Both School Systems have previously presented approved resolutions from their respective Boards requesting that the County modify its Capital Funding Policy by applying accumulated lottery funds for debt service payments, and permitting current year withdrawals immediately after the State's quarterly lottery fund allocations. This expedites both the application process and the receipt of funds for the school systems. Currently, the accumulated available lottery funds for Chapel Hill — Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) is $218,775. The attached application requests the State to release lottery funds to cover debt service for the Chapel Hill — Carrboro City Schools system. Budget Amendment #9 -A provides for the receipt of the Lottery Funds, contingent on State approval of the application, and substitutes the amount of Lottery Funds approved for debt service as additional Pay -As- You -Go (PAYGO) funds for FY 2013 -14 for CHCCS capital needs and projects, and amends the budgets for the following CHCCS capital projects: Chapel Hill — Carrboro City Schools ($218,775): ADA Requirements ($42,283) — Project # 54000 Ravarn ias fnr this nroiect- Annrnnriatert fnr this nroiect: Current FY 2013 -14 FY 2013 -14 Amendment FY 2013 -14 Revised From General Fund PAYG $200,505 $42,283 $242,788 Total Project Funding $200,505 $42,283 $242,788 Annrnnriatert fnr this nroiect: Abatement Projects ($34,504) — Project # 54001 Ravani iec fnr this nroiect Current FY 2013 -14 FY 2013 -14 Amendment FY 2013 -14 Revised General Renovations $200,505 $42,283 $242,788 Total Costs $200,505 $42,283 $242,788 Abatement Projects ($34,504) — Project # 54001 Ravani iec fnr this nroiect Annronriated for this groiect: Current FY 2013 -14 FY 2013 -14 Amendment FY 2013 -14 Revised From General Fund .
