amendments
PURPOSE: To discuss the FY2022-32 Capital Investment Plan, accept the Ten Year Capital
Investment Plan, and approve the Intent to Adopt Capital Funding for FY2022-23.
BACKGROUND: For over 20 years, the County has produced a Capital Investment Plan (CIP)
that establishes a budget planning guide related to capital needs for the County as well as
Schools. The current CIP consists of a 10-year plan that is evaluated annually to include year-to-
year changes in priorities, needs, and available resources. Approval of the CIP commits the
County to the first year funding only of the capital projects; all other years are used as a planning
tool and serves as a financial plan.
Capital Investment Plan — Overview
The FY 2022-32 CIP includes County Projects, School Projects, and Proprietary Projects. The
School Projects include Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, Orange County Schools, and Durham
Technical Community College — Orange County Campus projects. The Proprietary Projects
include Water and Sewer, Solid Waste Enterprise Fund, and Sportsplex projects.
The CIP has been prepared anticipating moderate economic growth of approximately 2% in
property tax growth and 4% sales tax growth over the next ten years. Many of the projects in the
CIP will rely on debt financing to fund the projects.
The items below include revisions made to the following Capital Projects since the presentation
of the Manager's Recommended Capital Investment Plan on April 5, 2022:
• At the May 12, 2022 Budget Work Session, staff included a revised Schools Capital
Projects Summary reflecting adjustments made in regards to changes to the FY 2022-23
budgeted average daily membership (ADM) percentages, based on changes made from
the time of the original CIP presentation and the FY 2022-23 Manager's Recommended
Operating Budget presentation. The impact of these numbers changed the CHCCS
2
percentage from 60.36% to 58.78%, and changed the OCS percentage from 39.64% to
41.22%.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Ten Year Capital Investment Plan is a long-range financial planning
tool with a financial impact in FY2022-23, if the first year of the CIP is approved by the Board of
County Commissioners with the adoption of the Annual Operating Budget.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: There are no Orange County Social Justice Goal impacts
associated with this item.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There are no Orange County Environmental Responsibility Goal
impacts associated with this item.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board accept the Ten Year Capital
Investment Plan and approve the Intent to Adopt Capital Funding for FY2022-23.
