At this time, the First Baptist Church is <br />requesting a revision in the January budget line items. <br />Specifically, in order to demonstrate site control as required by HUD, First Baptist Chuch must <br />obtain an "Option to Purchase" for the property identified for this housing proposal. That property <br />is located on Park Road in Chapel Hill, approximately six (6) acres in size, is owned by the Pines <br />Community Center and the sales price is $300,000. The owner, Pines Community Center has an <br />outstanding loan with Central Carolina Bank for the acquisition of this property. Thus, the Pines <br />Community Center has agreed to enter into an Option to Purchase agreement with First Baptist <br />Church at a cost of $2,000 per month which would cover their monthly interest payments. The <br />option period is estimated to be thirteen months beginning May 1999 and ending May 31, 2000. <br />The land option costs included in the feasibility study budget will increase from $5,000 to $26,000. <br />Any funds paid to the Pines Community Center for the land option would be applied to the purchase <br />price of $300,000. <br />On May 10, 1999, the Town of Chapel Hill approved an additional contribution of $10,000 to assist <br />in meeting the increase in option fees. The First Baptist Church is asking Orange County to amend <br />the January budget to increase the land option line item, thereby, redirecting the remainder of the <br />$10,000 appropriation to the land option costs in order to allow them to meet the increased land <br />option expense. <br />There is approximately $8,656 in County money remaining in this budget. The revised budget is as <br />follows: <br />Feasibility Study Budget (May 1999) <br />ORIGINAL <br />REVISED <br />COUNTY <br />BUDGET <br />BUDGET <br />SHARE <br />1. <br />Detailed topographic survey <br />$8,000 <br />$4,725 <br />$ 1,350.00 <br />2. <br />Environmental Phase I Analysis <br />3,000 <br />1,100 <br />314.27 <br />3. <br />Preliminary site design, site planning <br />5,000 <br />2,500 <br />714.25 <br />4. <br />Soils Engineering Tests <br />5,000 <br />4,000 <br />1,142.80 <br />5. <br />Appraisal <br />4,000 <br />1,900 <br />542.84 <br />6. <br />Land Options <br />5,000 <br />26,000 <br />4,571.55 <br />7. <br />Preparation of Fund Reservation, Legal, <br />Organizational, Coordination <br />5,000 <br />4,775 <br />1,364.29 <br />TOTAL <br />$35,000 <br />$45,000 <br />$10,000.00 <br />
