PURPOSE: To review and discuss FY 2016-17 recommended departmental budgets within the
structure of Functional Leadership Teams, and discussion of Outside Agencies.
BACKGROUND: The County Manager presented the FY 2016-17 Recommended Operating
Budget on May 5, 2016. Subsequently, the Board has conducted two public hearings to receive
residents' comments regarding the proposed funding plan. On May 26, 2016, the Board
discussed recommended FY 2016-17 budgets for Durham Technical Community College,
Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education and Orange County Schools Board of
Education. Additionally, the Board reviewed and discussed fire district tax rate increase requests
from New Hope Fire District and Orange Grove Fire District, and continued discussion of
specific Capital Investment Plan (CIP) projects. On June 9, 2016, the Board discussed the
Community Services, General Government, and Support Services Functional Leadership
Teams, as well as Employee Pay and Benefits.
Tonight's work session offers the Board an opportunity to review and discuss the recommended
budgets directly with County departments within the Human Services and Public Safety
Functional Leadership Teams, including operations, department fee schedule change
recommendations, non-departmentals, and applicable CIP projects, as well as discussion of
Outside Agencies.
