5 <br />Addendum to Capital Project Ordinances abstract <br />1) School Capital Projects Fund <br />Orange County Schools <br />Pathways Elementary -Over budget $33,661. This over budget condition was present in the <br />amounts converted to the Munis financial system in FY2003. The construction line item exceeds <br />budget. The original project ordinance uses $254,530 fund balance as a source of revenue which <br />is not available. The amendment modifies appropriated revenue sources to reflect those <br />revenues made available to the project and amends the ordinance to appropriate $210,087 of <br />School Capital Reserve Funds made available to the fund. <br />Playctround Protective Services -Over budget $13,974: This over budget condition was <br />present in the amounts converted to the Munis financial system in FY2003. The resurfacing line <br />item exceeds budget. Sufficient funds from transfer from General Fund had been allocated to the <br />project to cover the expenditures. The project ordinance amendment appropriates those funds. <br />As there is no further project activity the project ordinance also closes this project effective July 1, <br />2009. <br />Chapel Hill-Carrboro Schools <br />Smith Middle School Campus -Over budget $395,474. An over budget condition was present <br />in the amounts converted to the MUNIS financial system in FY2003 which increased by a small <br />amount due to expenditures in the first part of FY2004. The construction line item is over budget. <br />Sufficient funds from Impact Fees had been allocated to cover the expenditures. This ordinance <br />amendment appropriates those funds. As there is no further project activity the project ordinance <br />also closes this project effective July 1, 2009. <br />Carrboro High School -Over budget $12,197. We have been meeting with the CCHS staff to <br />reconcile capital project budgets overall. In Fiscal Year 2007/08 a capital project ordinance was <br />adopted for this project appropriating $1,447,344 to be transferred from the General Fund. These <br />funds however were already budgeted in the project as part of a CIP ordinance adopted in June <br />of 2005 for $4,342,000 to be transferred from the General Fund over three years. After <br />eliminating this duplication the project is slightly over budget, however there are still outstanding <br />payments to the contractors which are being reviewed. There is an excess of Sales Tax <br />Reimbursement of $382,600 between this project and the Morris Grove Elementary School <br />project that has not been appropriated. CCHS staff has requested that we appropriate all of the <br />additional Sales Tax funds to the Carrboro High School project less $125,000 which they wish to <br />budget for the Morris Grove Elementary School Project. Modular units for Carrboro High School <br />were purchased from the Carrboro High School project, however CCHS reflected them as coming <br />from the Mobile Units project. They have requested that we move the remaining balance of <br />$274,200 from the Mobile Units Project to the Carrboro High School Project. <br />Morris Grove Elementary School -Over budget $23,585. This project is still ongoing. The <br />School system has funds in their budget for this project however this appropriation of Sales Tax <br />Reimbursement is needed to cover payments the County has made for this project and provide <br />additional funds needed by the project. <br />
