CHCCS — Lottery Proceeds 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 proceeds from the NC Education Lottery account related to FY 2014 -15 debt service payments for Chapel Hill — Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS), and to approve Budget Amendment #4 -A (amended School Capital Project Ordinances), contingent on the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction's (NCDPI) approval of the application. BACKGROUND: Both County 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 to debt service payments, and permitting current year withdrawals of lottery proceeds immediately after the State's quarterly lottery fund allocations. This policy expedites both the application process and the receipt of funds for both school systems. Currently, the accumulated available lottery proceeds for Chapel Hill — Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) is $260,961. The attached application requests NCDPI to release lottery proceeds in the amount of $260,000 to cover debt service for projects previously financed for the Chapel Hill — Carrboro City School system. Budget Amendment #4 -A provides for the receipt of the Lottery Proceeds, contingent on NCDPI's approval of the application, and substitutes the amount of Lottery Proceeds approved for debt service as additional Pay -As- You -Go (PAYGO) funds for FY 2014 -16 for CHCCS long - range capital needs and projects, and amends the budgets for the following CHCCS capital projects: Chapel Hill — Carrboro City Schools ($260,000): Fire /Safety /Security ($100,000) — Project # 54004 Revenues for this project: Appropriated for this project: Current FY 2014 -15 FY 2014 -15 Amendment FY 2014 -15 Revised From General Fund (PAYG) $7757000 $1007000 $8757000 Lottery Proceeds $807000 $0 $807000 Total Project Funding $8551000 $1001000 $9551000 Appropriated for this project: Parking Lot Improvements ($160,000) — Project # 54008 Revenues for this project: Current FY 2014 -15 I FY 2014 -15 Amendment FY 2014 -15 Revised Fire /Safety /Security $8557000 $1007000 $9557000 Total Costs $8551000 $1001000 $9551000 Parking Lot Improvements ($160,000) — Project # 54008 Revenues for this project: Appropriated for this project: Current FY 2014 -15 FY 2014 -15 Amendment FY 2014 -15 Revised From General Fund PAYG $3207000 $1607000 $4807000 Total Project Funding $3201000 $1601000 $4801000 Appropriated for this project: FINANCIAL IMPACT: The total Lottery Proceeds requested from the NCDPI for Chapel Hill- Carrboro City Schools is $260,000.
