Recommended Budgets
DEPARTMENT: County Manager

PURPOSE: To review and discuss FY 2024-25 recommended fire districts and departmental
budgets.
BACKGROUND: The County Manager presented the FY 2024-25 Recommended Operating
Budget on May 7, 2024. Since then, the Board has conducted one public hearing to receive
residents' comments regarding the proposed funding plan. At the May 16, 2024 Budget Work
Session, the Board discussed recommended FY 2024-25 budgets for Chapel Hill-Carrboro City
Schools Board of Education, Orange County Schools Board of Education and Durham Tech
Community College.
This budget work session offers the Board an opportunity to review and discuss the recommended
budgets directly with Fire District Chiefs and County Departments. As the Board asked for
additional time to discuss the upcoming school referendum bond projects, County departments
have primarily been moved to the May 28, 2024 Budget Work Session. Library Services, the Office
of Equity and Inclusion and the Sheriff's Office were each unable to move to May 2811, and so will
need to be discussed at this May 23rd Budget Work Session.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with the discussion of the
Manager's Recommended FY 2024-25 Operating Budget. Decisions that the Board makes as
part of its discussion on the Manager's Recommended FY 2024-25 Annual Operating Budget will
have financial impacts.
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 review and discuss the
Manager's Recommended FY 2024-25 budget and provide direction to staff, as appropriate.
