Attachment 1. CHCCS — Lottery Paul Laughton, (919) 245-2152
Proceeds Debt Service
Application
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 #10-A (amended School Capital Project Ordinances) contingent on
NCDPI's 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 $203,170. The attached application requests NCDPI to release lottery proceeds in
the amount of $203,170 to cover debt service for projects previously financed for the Chapel Hill
— Carrboro City School system.
Budget Amendment #10-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 2014-15 for CHCCS long-
range capital needs and projects, and amends the budgets for the following CHCCS capital
projects:
