Due to current public health concerns, the Board of Commissioners is conducting a Virtual
Business Meeting on Thursday, February 17, 2022. Members of the Board of Commissioners
participated in the meeting remotely. As in prior meetings, members of the public were able to
view and listen to the meeting via live streaming video at
http://www.orangecountync.gov/967/Meeting-Videos and on Orange County Gov-TV on
channels 1301 or 97.6 (Spectrum Cable).
In this new virtual process, there are two methods for public comment.
• Written submittals by email
• Speaking during the virtual meeting
Detailed public comment instructions for each method are provided at the bottom of this
agenda. (Pre-registration is required.)
1. Additions or Changes to the Agenda
None.
Chair Price dispensed with reading the public charge.
2. Public Comments (Limited to One Hour)
a. Matters not on the Printed Agenda
Candace Alley introduced herself to the Board and indicated she is a certified alcohol
and drug counselor in Orange County. She said she is starting a program here and runs a non-
profit on January 4, 2022 that will hopefully become a 501(c)(3) by mid-April. She said she has
created a trauma-healing ecosystem that is patent pending. She wanted to introduce herself to
the Board and looks forward to working with Orange County through her program. She has
lived in Orange County since 2010 and has been a business owner here since 2016. She said
she has never been comfortable to ask for support of the community, but as part of her own
2
trauma-recovery, she is leaving here to start a peer-support supervision pilot program for the
State. She said she hopes to be the first trauma-healing center in Orange County. She will be
doing all she can to give back to the community and gain the Board's support during the budget
process in her business.
Chair Price thanked Candace Alley for coming to speak to them and verified that she
has is in touch with the Outside Agency Funding Program through the county.
b. Matters on the Printed Agenda
(These matters will be considered when the Board addresses that item on the agenda below.)
3. Announcements, Petitions and Comments by Board Members
Commissioner Fowler said that she attended the Triangle Area Rural Planning
Organization (TARPO) meeting last week, but not much happened with funding on hold. She
said the Agricultural Summit was Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week, and she did
the welcome this morning. She encouraged people to use the Visit NC Farm App, which she
learned about through the summit, and said she downloaded the app herself today. She said
she attended the Climate Council meeting this afternoon where they discussed their yearly
progress report that they will send to the Board of Commissioners. She said they also talked
about future which may include education for other cities, as well as a regional summit.
Commissioner Hamilton said the Capital Needs Work Group met on Wednesday
morning and is making progress. She said they are getting a sense of the scope of the work
and making timelines for information they want to receive. She said the next meeting will be
March 16, 2022 at 8:30 AM and will focus on how the Schools Adequate Public Facilities
Ordinance (SAPFO) impacts the capital needs of the schools.
Commissioner Bedford said the Burlington-Graham MPO met this week. She attended
the REI Groundwater training again on Monday and noted that it is available to all
commissioners. She also attended the climate session during the Ag Summit and learned a lot
about the State Climate Office at NC State.
Commissioner Richards attended the Chamber of Commerce board meeting this
morning. She invited the commissioners to look at the chamber's calendar on their website and
attend their upcoming events. She highlighted the Career Academy Kickoff scheduled for
Tuesday morning at 8:30 AM, as well as the Chamber Annual Meeting. She said she attended
one day of the Ag Summit and learned about the State Climate Office and the challenges with
meat processing in the state. She said also attended and enjoyed the REI Groundwater
training.
Commissioner Greene said she attended the Ag Summit, and particularly enjoyed the
conservation easement session and the agro-tourism discussion. She presented at the summit
on the work of the Broadband Task Force and started a conversation with farmers on their
broadband needs. Last week she attended an online session on the development of the Trinity
Court public housing in Chapel Hill. She said this is relevant to the county because it is being
redeveloped by a private partner and most units house those with project-based vouchers.
Chair Price said she unfortunately did not get to listen to very much of the Ag Summit,
as she attended the National Association of Counties (NACo) conference this week. She said
there was discussion on plans to bolster assistance and support for rural areas, including
broadband, and how to bring electric vehicles and tools into rural areas. She said there was
also focus was on the American Recovery Plan and how to use those funds. She said that
Governor Cooper held a press conference this afternoon and discussed local jurisdictions and
school boards lifting mask mandates in certain low risk areas, and these areas includes
schools. She said that she and the town mayors will meet with the Health Director tomorrow to
3
discuss. She said that Governor Cooper said more guidance will be determined by March 71h
She said that she and the mayors are working in concert with each other.
4. Proclamations/ Resolutions/ Special Presentations
a. OWASA Annual Update Presentation
The Board received a presentation and information from the Orange Water and Sewer Authority
(OWASA) on recent activities.
BACKGROUND: At the beginning of each calendar year, OWASA representatives appear
before the Board of Commissioners to make a presentation on recent OWASA activities. An
update on OWASA's Long-Range Water Supply Plan will also be provided.
OWASA Board Chair Jody Eimers and Board Member/Immediate Past Chair Ray DuBose,
both Orange County appointees to the OWASA Board, will present the annual update.
OWASA Planning and Development Manager Ruth Rouse will provide an update to OWASA's
Long Range Water Supply Plan (LRWSP).
Jody Eimers introduced Todd Taylor, executive director of OWASA, Ruth Rouse, and
Ray DuBose.
Jody Eimers provided a Strategic Plan update. OWASA is working on a new Strategic
Plan to help guide investments and priorities over the next 5-6 years. The OWASA Board of
Directors has held three work sessions with staff to work on the new strategic plan, which
included discussing input received from the community, board, and staff, as well as revising
mission and vision. Recently began working to narrow top six priorities for next 5-6 years.
Jody Eimers discussed board membership. She thanked the Commissioners for
appointing her and Ray DuBose to the OWASA Board of Directors. She described the board as
a governing body rather than an advisory body. She explained the Board's responsibilities in
detail. She said that Board members are compensated for their service on the board. She said
that all interested candidates are encouraged to apply. OWASA works to recruit diverse
members and the only interest needed is an interest to serve and be available. She said that
they appreciate assistance in recruiting board members and assistance encouraging
applications. She said that they have been sharing information with the NAACP and El Centro
Hispano on board vacancies. She said that Chapel Hill appoints five OWASA Board members,
Carrboro appoints two, and Orange County appoints two. She indicated that there are two
openings on the Board of Directors. She said that she and Ray DuBose are both on their
second terms and that she has been selected as chair. She highlighted the importance of filling
vacancies as quickly as possible due to the important work that is ongoing. She said that
appointments by Orange County will be made July 1 in 2023 and 2024. She invited Ray
DuBose to make comments.
Ray DuBose discussed the status of the OWASA standard collection practices and
affordability. He said OWASA used the local indefinite state of emergency as guidance and
chose to defer resuming standard bill collection practices for residential customers. He said
there are about 580 customers that are 60 days or more passed due with an average of $460
passed due. He said that customers will be given 30 days' notice before collection practices
begin. He said that customers that miss two billing cycles will be sent to collection. He said that
upon resuming standard collection practices, OWASA will provide payment plan option for
those who need it. He noted that utility bill assistance continues to be critical to ensuring long
term access to OWASA's services. He said current delinquent customers are encouraged to
pay what they can and to seek bill pay assistance, like the Care to Share donation program. He
4
said that he is grateful to the county for administering the emergency housing fund and the
County's leadership in administering the temporary Federal Low Income Household Water
Assistance Program (LIHWAP). He said that the emergency housing fund provided over
$70,000 of billing assistance for 122 households. He said that the LIHWAP has pledged over
$60,000 of billing assistance in last 2 months. He said that OWASA has been in touch with
customers with overdue bills to educate them on these resources.

Ruth Rouse said that the blue line shows the yield of local water supply and the gray
shaded area is the projected supply and that there are uncertainties with both. She said that the
blue line would shift down if there is drought. She said that the actual demands are shown in
black and that there has been a reduction in demand. She said that the drought in 2002

required the community to conserve and that those habits have not changed, and that the
community has continued to conserve since that time. She said that there are also rates that
incentivize conservation. She said that UNC's reclaimed water system uses highly treated
wastewater for non-drinking water purposes and meets over 10% of the community's needs.

Ruth Rouse said that the Cane Creek Reservoir has a lot of water in it but that it is a
small watershed. She said this impacts the refill time and that the quarry does not have a
drainage area. She said that if those get drawn down at the same time, it leaves the community
vulnerable.

Ruth Rouse said that OWASA has traditionally proactively planned. She said that the
Cane Creek Reservoir was identified as a water supply before OWASA was formed and came
online 20 years afterwards. She said the existing quarry was planned in the 1990's and will not
come to fruition until 2030-2035. She said that they have had a Jordan Lake allocation since
1988 but there is no guaranteed way to get the water from the lake so if it is ever needed, there
may be no way of accessing it.

Ruth Rouse stated that stakeholders were asked for ideas by a consultant. She said
they then identified ideas with potential. She said that the Board directed them to use water
quality as the highest priority. She said they looked at long term impact on rates and how
flexible the option is to change in the future. She said they also weighed social and
environmental analysis. She said that after all of the external review and internal considerations
that Jordan Lake came out on top but there is no decision on how that will be accessed. She
said that everything they have worked with the Board on is very public facing.

Ruth Rouse
rrouse@owasa.org
Commissioner Bedford asked if OWASA owns the land where this intake might be built.
Ruth Rouse said OWASA owns 125 acres, that was purchased in 1989, for a water
treatment plant.
Commissioner Bedford asked if it will be appraised at the value to see who will be
contributing to the project and value of the land.
Ruth Rouse said the board will meet next week and discuss the value of that land and
providing direction on how to proceed.
Commissioner Bedford said she and Chair Price meet quarterly with OWASA staff. She
said that water quality is very important to her. She said if there is no water, the quality does not
matter, but thinks water quality is very important. She said that after the water issues in Flint,
Michigan and the issues in Pittsboro recently, the public is very concerned about water quality
and chemical in the public drinking water. She said that it is important for staff to review the
website and documents so they can be advisers to the Board. She said it is a critical decision
and that she is glad consultants are being used in the process.
11
Todd Taylor said OWASA shares the same concern for water quality and the Western
Intake Partners are the same. He said that water quality is before anything else. He said that
the good news is this is a brand-new plant, so will be built with state-of-the-art technology. He
said the harder thing is addressing a newly developed or previously unknown chemical. He said
that they know about issues of emerging concerns in Jordan Lake, and they are aware of the
use of technology that would address those issues.
Commissioner Hamilton said that she wants a better understanding of the models that
will determine demand. She asked how much growth can happen before more water is needed.
She asked what demand-side management is. She asked how much the communities can grow
before they need more water.
Ruth Rouse said that demand is based on potential growth in Chapel
Hill and Carrboro. She said that there was major regional transportation planning that was led
by TJCOG that helped determine build out scenarios and the demand side management is
based on those models. She said that demand side management helps reduce water those
demands. She said models include expanding the reclaimed water system at the university.
She said they also look at bundling conservation type approached such as requiring
submetering in all multifamily residential developments and requiring EPA water savings as
well. She said that some of those either did not cost out or save water.
Commissioner Hamilton asked if models account for difference in conservation potential
in new vs. old builds.
Ruth Rouse said that the demand projections assume demand decreasing due to
conservation.
Commissioner Greene said the development community and UNC have an interest in
expanding the water supply for growth purposes. She asked what OWASA did to reach out to
individual consumers — especially those that remember that Cane Creek and the quarry were
created so that they would not have to turn to Jordan Lake. She asked how they conduct
community engagement because she has not heard many people talking about this. She said
that she would like to stay within the current bounds of water use. She asked about viewing the
community conversations and comments. She asked what the next steps for future
engagement are to reach out to individual consumers before making decisions. She questioned
how reliable the TJCOG build-out models are and suggested that OWASA rather work with the
Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro for those plans. She said that it will be a while before the
quarry is online but that 2030 is only 8 years from now. She said that she is skeptical of the next
step for Jordan Lake.
Ruth Rouse said OWASA did not reach out to broader community but worked with local
government staff in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. She said that provided a ton of demand side
management ideas. She said that they are doing much more in-depth outreach this time
around. She said they will engage advisory boards, they will come to each elected board, they
are also planning an event at the Chapel Hill Public Library. She said they will be engaging the
Youth Water Academy because the youth will be around in the future. She said there will be a
much more extensive community outreach this go around.
Todd Taylor said OWASA will also utilize social media for outreach because they want
to hear from the community and that a community engagement plan was approved during the
last meeting.
Commissioner Greene said the state environmental agency said that climate change
concern in this area of the country is not draught but flooding. She asked where the data is
coming from that shows draught as a major concern.
Ruth Rouse said that the global climate change models agree that our area, rain fall will
stay the same, but will come as intense storms. She said they are not in agreement on what
future looks like for droughts. She said that they must prepare for drought. She said that
12
regarding the TJCOG data, TJCOG coordinated the outreach, but planners from local
governments were all part of the model showing the growth that will come into communities.
She said that Chapel Hill and Carrboro were very involved in this process.
Chair Price said that over the years she has come to understand more of what TJCOG
does and while it is hard to estimate, looking at census data and economic development here
and surrounding counties, more and more people are coming to NC. She asked if heavy rains
really replenish the water tables and aquifers. She suggested OWASA also engage the
Chinese School and the Interfaith Food Council, in addition to El Centro and NAACP, regarding
the open positions on the OWASA Board of Directors.
Commissioner Hamilton asked what percentage of Chapel Hill/Carrboro residences
have well water and septic. She asked what would happen if everyone had OWASA water and
if that went into the models.
Ruth Rouse said the model assumed that the service area would not change. She said
that if service areas changed then it would change those models.
Todd Taylor said the model is accounting for this as best it can based on zoning for
future areas. He said that it is not a huge additional demand.
Commissioner Hamilton said it came to mind thinking about potential future flooding and
wells becoming unsafe.
Chair Price said if there is a significant recharge then some people may need to join the
OWASA system.
Ruth Rouse said single residential units would not put a huge strain on the system, but
larger developments would.
Chair Price said they will work to get information out about the available payment plans
and thanked OWASA staff for their presentation.

7. Reports
a. Development Fiscal Impact Study
The Board received information on a study and hear a presentation from the consultant
TischlerBise, Inc.
BACKGROUND: Orange County has informally understood the fiscal impacts of new
development and what general land uses provided a net positive or negative revenue and
expenditure (cost of services).
Studies from over ten years ago made some generalizations that the combined categories of
residential (different densities), non-residential (combined office, industrial retail) and
agricultural. Results of that generalized study showed residential development cost more in
government services than monies received in Tax and other revenue sources, and
contrastingly, non-residential and agricultural were net positive in the revenue/expenditure
balance.
However, this type of study had its limitations because it did not analyze the varied land use
types with varying density or intensity, so a new study was commissioned through Tischler-
Bise, a national firm with expertise in this research area. This new study provides a higher
13
resolution of analysis with more land use types and by different areas. It should be noted that
both studies (past and present) only related to the County revenue/expenditure program and
not the cost revenue benefit realized in municipalities. This study could also be modified to
include the municipalities at additional expense.
This study and its findings do not have a direct relationship in the Unified Development
Ordinance (UDO). Whether a project has a net positive or negative is not the basis of an
approval or denial but may be considered in some legislative decisions.
Julie Herlands of TischlerBise, Inc. will provide a PowerPoint on the findings and address any
comments and questions, and County staff will also assist with questions and answers.
Craig Benedict, Planning and Inspections Director, reviewed the background information
for the item. He said that he is hoping staff will refine this model on an annual basis.
Julie Herlands of TischlerBise, Inc. gave the following PowerPoint presentation:

Julie Herlands said that what they are looking at is the cost to serve. She said that not
all costs are affected by growth. She said they engaged in a process to see what the pressure
points are for the cost to serve. She said they look at this to achieve planning and fiscal goals,
and a way to understand those relationships in a way to develop a model that will address
questions at hand. She said that this is not an economic development model.

Wrap Up
General findings,
o Nonresidential at default value assumptions typica I ly generates positive fiscal results
o Retail generates the highest positive fiscal results of nonresidential land uses
o Certain residential development at high enough values generates positive fiscal results
• The model should be viewed as a tool
o Results and findings do not have a direct relationship in the UDO
• One piece of information among many to evaluate a project
o Other non-fiscal factors should be considered when making land use decisions such as,
job creation,jobs-housing balanceleommute times,economic benefit of local spending
from increased income
• Q&A
Tisch lerE
Julie Herlands said there are many other factors besides the model that should be taken
into consideration when determining land uses.
Commissioner Hamilton said she appreciates the last slide highlighting that the model is
only one piece of information that goes into decision-making and is limited to fiscal impact. She
asked how jobs are factored in the model capture for cost and revenue.
Julie Herlands said there are services within the county purview of services that are
provided to the non-residential sector. She said that some cost factors are driven by the
presence of jobs. She said that it becomes a demand generator that then captures the effect of
customers. She said that public safety is an example of a cost. She said there is a portion of
costs and revenues that are generated and driven by employment growth.
Commissioner Hamilton said it sounds like a broad category, since there are different
types of businesses and employment. She asked how they can be sure the variable is
accurately capturing the cost.
Julie Herlands gave a public safety example to answer Commissioner Hamilton's
question. She said that the law enforcement side includes calls for service for residential and
non-residential development. She said those numbers are then used to estimate demand based
on vehicle trips that are generated today. She said that the model assumes that these will
continue in the future.
Commissioner Hamilton asked how the commissioners could be sure this model creates
coefficients that lead to a model that fits well.
Julie Herlands said the intent is not to get an output/dollar amount someone is costing
the county. She said it is the relationship between the revenues generated from the land use
and the consumption of services. She said that part of this is engaging in a process with
service providers to understand where the pressure points are. She said not every cost is
affected by development. She gave examples of service calls based on type of land use and
how that develops an average cost estimate.
Craig Benedict said that he did previous work like this in Florida, and they had certain
general assumptions for costs of service by department. He said those model inputs were then
tested against actuals. He said they asked the police department if they were responding to the
new developments at the same rate that they had assumed when they started the program. He
said that they found out that the newer, multifamily, and higher end multifamily did not have as
many police calls for service as had been estimated. He said they also found that the school
22
impact was less than they had predicted for those same developments. He said this data
collection allowed them to fine-tune the program specially for the multifamily developments. He
said they found out that newer multifamily developments had a net positive. He said they also
checked their model assumptions against actuals with industrial development, as well. He said
they plan to continue to do the same with this model.
Chair Price asked how long before the fine-tuning is done. She asked if the findings
from checking the model applied across the board in the future, or only the one location where
it is found.
Craig said the model starts out with generalizations and is fine-tuned on a case-by-case
basis.
Chair Price asked if TischlerBise used lessons learned from other locations in modeling
for Orange County, or if it was the standard model.
Julie Herlands said the model is built specifically for the Orange County community. She
said that the data has become better and to get to distinction between sizes of multifamily units
has been refined as data has become available. She said that she expects Orange County's
model will be updated annually by staff. She said that any assumptions and averages in the
model can be overwritten as more data becomes available.
Chair Price asked about the zeros listed under the key assumptions in the residential
model.
Julie Herlands said at the time, there was a gap in that data, but staff can put that
information in as it becomes available.
Chair Price said she understood the use of general data and then each user will adjust
as actual data becomes available. She said she was curious about national or regional trends
being used in the beginning. She asked about the pre-development shown.
Julie Herlands said the undeveloped lot is for doing a pre-development to after
development scenario.
Commissioner Bedford said some recent developments in the county have been
warehousing and logistics. She asked how this tool could be used to establish county costs for
this type of development vs. revenue. She said she thinks this could be a different use than the
commercial that has been shown. She said it would be interesting to be able to use this tool for
those uses.
Julie Herlands said warehouses have a different set of characteristics and parameters
can be directly entered into the model. She said that the trips to and from factor into the public
safety part of the equation because there's potentially increased vehicle accidents on roads
with increased traffic. She said that it does not correlate to road maintenance costs but does
correlate to public safety. She said the county can certainly evaluate and test those types of
uses.
Commissioner Fowler asked how the planning department is using this tool right now.
Craig Benedict said that this is not a direct requirement of the unified development
ordinance, but it can be used to understand the value of land uses. He said the numbers show
that retail generates nine times more revenue than industrial or office. He said this can be used
to assist in making legislative and economic development decisions.
Commissioner Fowler asked if retail includes food, even though it is taxed at a lower
rate.
Craig said it is combined in the same category as grocery stores and retail.
Commissioner Fowler said the model gives an idea of government spending but not
necessarily what's best for the community. She said they know there is a need for affordable
housing.
Bonnie Hammersley said this tool is available and staff will begin to use it as new
projects come in. She said they may even look at past projects and plug into the model to
23
monitor them. She said that it is important to recognize that this is a tool to use in combination
with other information. She said that it all will work together. She said that she knows that any
decision must include social justice, environmental impacts, and fiscal impacts. She said that as
they bring projects forward, they will include this data.
Chair Price asked if the model can be adjusted to consider changes in lifestyles since
pandemic, including types of jobs and how people are working.
Julie Herlands said that it can be and that as behaviors start to evolve, the market will
change, and the data can be updated to reflect those behaviors. She said that since sales tax
collections have changed, and as they continue to change, the data will continue to evolve.
b. Long-Term Financial Planning Operating and Debt Models
The Board received and reviewed information on the two County financial models — 1)
Operating Model and 2) Debt Model — that the Finance and Administrative Services Department
utilizes in providing forecasts of revenues and expenditures to the County Manager, Deputy
Manager and the subsequent Manager's Recommended Budget each year to the Board.
BACKGROUND: The County's use of a Long-Term Financial Models was first implemented as
part of the FY 2018-19 Budget Development Cycle. As noted in the attachment, Long-Term
Financial Planning provides local governments an important resource in ascertaining the impact
of changes in economic conditions, recessions and various spending scenarios.
Bond Rating Agencies and the Government Finance Officers Association consider Long-Term
Financial Planning to be an integral best practice for a local government to maintain financial
resiliency. Both the Operating and Debt Models were instrumental in assisting the County
through the COVID Recession and maintaining the Board Adopted Unassigned Fund Balance
Policy of 16%.
County staff regularly uses these two models to formulate recommendations on both the
Operating Budget and Capital Investment Plan.
Gary Donaldson, Chief Financial Officer, reviewed the background information for this
item and gave the following PowerPoint presentation:

Commissioner Bedford asked how CARES and ARPA funding will be worked into future
forecasting.
Gary Donaldson said it has been taken out of the general fund and is in its own fund to
keep separate for forecasting purposes.
Commissioner Richards asked if there is a meeting when the Board gets to decide what
the underlying assumptions are.

Gary Donaldson said that the manager's presentation will go through key assumptions.
He said that for sales tax, estimate reports come out in March, and is tested against our own
model.
Bonnie Hammersley said that she is required to recommend a budget to the
commissioners per state law and will provide a preview of the assumptions she is using for the
budget. She said that after the presentation of the budget, commissioners may make
amendments to the budget. She said that most assumptions will come from this model and that
it has been shown to be extremely accurate. She said that the only time it was not was during
the current year when the county didn't anticipate the growth in sales tax due to the pandemic.

N4RT3 E CAROLEN:S
Commissioner Bedford asked about the difference between existing debt and CIP debt.
Gary Donaldson said the existing debt has already been issued and that the CIP debt is
projects that will be financed in the future, per the CIP schedule.
Commissioner Bedford asked for an explanation of why if you change something in the
CIP, it does not make a difference in years 1-5. She also asked how 3% of the assessed value
of the tax base is used in finance.

Gary Donaldson said the Board passed that several years ago and is currently at 1.6%,
so well within the tax supported debt. He said that we are well within the threshold of tax
supported debt. He said that it compares it to the assessed value.
Commissioner Bedford asked if this shows how much they could tax if they needed.
Gary Donaldson said it's one measure but looking at what impact on operating budget
would be is going to be the deciding factor. He said that regarding her question on the CIP, to
understand what is being funded in years 6-10, they need to know on the county side when they
would plan for issuances.
Commissioner Bedford asked how changing debt from year 3 to year 4 never changes
the results.
Bonnie Hammersley said it is because it is already in the model as existing debt.
Commissioner Bedford said that she understands now.
Commissioner Richards said she appreciates the model. She said she is not clear on
where ARPA funding is considered.
Gary Donaldson said all that money is in a separate fund outside of the general fund,
per guidance from the UNC School of Government.
Commissioner Richards asked how to forecast for that money when it runs out.
Bonnie Hammersley said the reason it is not in the model is because it is not in the
general fund, which is the best way to handle this money according to the experts. She said
that because it is one time money, it cannot be historically looked at or tracked for in the future.
She said that she will make recommendations for the money and commissioners will either
agree or make a budget amendment. She said the hope is that by 2024, the demand for the
services funded by ARPA will have decreased and will not be needed at the same level. She
said that she will bring forward recommendations on where the demands are from departments.
Commissioner Richards asked if demand is already outspending the budget.
Bonnie Hammersley said her budget meetings will be in March. She said that spending
and demand are currently doing fine and on schedule.
Commissioner Richards said there is a housing need, so why would the money not be
invested in a way that could impact housing long term.
Bonnie Hammersley said there is a 3-year plan for the money and most of the money
that's factored in, is going to housing.
Travis Myren said one of the things the model can do is plan to use property tax revenue
to continue ARPA-funded projects into the future if they are still wanted and needed when the
money runs out.
Commissioner Hamilton said the total debt is a percentage of assessed value and would
be interested in knowing what percentage would be if also at 3% approved target.
Bonnie Hammersley said it is unusual for a county to get close to its percentage of
assessed value. She said that the assessed value is $22 Billion, and the county is about
midway to 3%.
Gary Donaldson said that the model is dynamic and flexible and that looking at 3% will
provide large numbers. He said the rating agencies look at debt service to budget. He said that
is the metric they look at more so rather than the total debt.
Bonnie Hammersley said there is an expectation from rating agencies that the county
would increase taxes to cover those costs.
Commissioner Greene said during budget season she wants to talk about how to
transition ARPA money and budget for those programs other ways.
Commissioner Bedford said it has been both CARES and ARPA money that has been
used for housing and other programs.
Bonnie Hammersley said all the CARES money has been spent.
Gary Donaldson noted that it all had to be spent by 12/31/21.
