PURPOSE:
To approve proposed budget ordinance amendment and capital project ordinances.
BACKGROUND:
(1) On February 15, 1994, the Board of County Commissioners approved a $10,000 funding request for the
Orange County Community in Schools (CIS) program. CIS is a non-profit, non-partisan, community based
organization charged with addressing the multiple needs of youth at the highest risk of educational, social, and
economical failure. It will bring existing public and private resources and people into the schools where they
most benefit students.
This budget amendment appropriates $10,000 from the Commissioners' contingency account to cover start-up
program expenses from April to June 1994. The allocation provides funds for salaries and benefits of a
Program Coordinator ($9,000) and office rental and other operating expenses ($1,000) for this three-month
period.
(2) The Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools is beginning the planning process for construction of a new
elementary school in that district to open in 1996-97. Last Spring, the Board of Commissioners established an
elementary school capital reserve account, while the financing plan for construction of this new school was
determined. Last Fall, the Commissioners agreed to pursue financing additional elementary school space
through an installment purchase plan, such as Certificates of Participation. The annual installment payments
are to be paid from sales tax proceeds and impact fee. revenue.
To begin the planning and design work for this school the Chapel Hill Board of Education is requesting that the
Board of Commissioners transfer the funds from the reserve account into an active capital project account. The
attached capital project ordinances transfer$81,859 into a capital project "New Chapel Hill-Carrboro Elementary
School."
RECOMMENDATION:
The Manager recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the proposed budget ordinance
amendment and capital project ordinances.
