ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: May 15, 2001 Action Agenda Item No. ~{j - ~ SUBJECT: Department of Public Instruction Forms -School Capital Needs Survey DEPARTMENT: County Manager PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No ATTACHMENT(S): OCS Capital Needs Survey CHCCS Capital Needs Survey INFORMATION CONTACT: - Randy Bridges, 732-8126 Neil Pedersen, 967-8211 Rod Visser, 245-2300 TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Hillsborough 732-8.181 Chapel Hill 968-4501 Durham fi88-7331 Mebane 336-227-2031 PURPOSE: To review submissions to the State Department of Public Instruction by the County's two school systems regarding their capital facility needs through FY 2007-08. BACKGROUND: The North Carolina General Statutes require local boards of education to submit long-range capital facility plans to the State Department of Public Instruction (DPI) every five years. The Orange County Schools and Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools have prepared submissions using DPI stipulated survey farms to outline all improvements and additional facilities needed to accommodate projected enrollments through the 2007-08 academic year. Although there is no statutory requirement that Boards of County Commissioners approve the capital facility plans prepared by school boards, DPI staff have indicated that the State would like for County Boards of Commissioners to have the opportunity to review those submissions. Staff recommends that the Board treat this DPI request as merely a courtesy review opportunity. The new school facilities outlined in the OCS and CHCCS surveys are consistent with the needs identified by both school boards during the Capital Needs Advisory Task Force process for the planned November 2001 bond referendum: It should be noted that the specific dollar costs of the various projects listed in the surveys do not necessarily coincide with the anticipated budgets for the various renovation and new school projects. OCS and CHCCS school staffs were obliged to prepare these reports via DPI's electronic forms that used statewide assumptions about capacity and square foot costs, for example. OCS and CHCCS staff could not make adjustments to these State-supplied forms to use figures that are consistent with the BOCC-approved School Construction Standards that OCS and CHCCS use to prepare their school capital project budgets. Accordingly, staff recommends that the Board simply review and pass along the surveys to DPI as prepared by the school systems, and rely on the County's CIP process and capital planning and funding policy as the oversight mechanisms for school capital needs. 2 FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with the review of these surveys. The BOCC will be working with the school systems over the coming months to determine,the extent to which the projected capital needs can be addressed through County general obligation bonds, pay-as-you-go revenues, an other financing mechanisms. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board review the surveys and authorize the Chair to sign the cover ,pages of each. r 3 Orange Cou Administrative Unit: Orange County Schools unit code: sso 1.
