School Capital Approved FY 2026-36 CIP Projects Summary PURPOSE: To accept the FY 2026-36 Orange County Ten-Year Capital Investment Plan (CIP), and approve the FY 2026-27 Orange County Overall CIP Projects. 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 2026-36 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 over the next ten years, and 4% sales tax growth. Many of the projects in the CIP will rely on debt financing to fund the projects. Attachment 1 is the FY 2026-36 Capital Investment Plan Overall Summary of$139,418,653 (individual projects were provided to the Board of County Commissioners at previous work sessions, and revised project funding was discussed at the June 4, 2026 budget work session). 2 Attachment 2 lists County Capital Projects Summary totaling $24,409,968 in FY 2026-27 (Year 1). Attachment 3 lists Proprietary Capital Projects Summary totaling $2,484,636 in FY 2026-27 (Year 1). Attachment 4 lists School Capital Projects Summary totaling $112,524,049 in FY 2026-27 (Year 1). FINANCIAL IMPACT: The financial impact is as noted in the attachments. The Ten-Year Capital Investment Plan is a long-range planning tool with a financial impact in FY 2026-27. ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN: This item supports: • MISSION STATEMENT — Orange County is a visionary leader in providing governmental services valued by our community, beyond those required by law, in an equitable, sustainable, innovative and efficient way. • VISION STATEMENT — We are a diverse, inclusive, and healthy county working together to strengthen our community and enhance the quality of life for all residents. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board accept the FY 2026-36 Orange County Ten-Year Capital Investment Plan, and approve funding for FY 2026-27 and adopt the FY 2026-27 County Capital projects as stated in Attachment 2; the FY 2026-27 Proprietary Capital projects as stated in Attachment 3; and the FY 2026-27 School Capital projects as stated in Attachment 4. 3 Orange County
