~~~ Chairman Whitted stated that if the Board went with the $1,675,000 figure, this would give $1,931,956 to Chapel Hill and would increase per capital current expense to $353.45 per student. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that the Board needed to decide how much they could add to the seven cent proposed tax increase ar what programs or services would have to be cut from the 1977-78 budget. Until this is clear, it will be difficult to know just where the Board is. Mr. Gustaveson stated he wanted to take a close look at Chapel Hill Capital Outlay, that he saw a total school increase in the neighborhood of $29A,000 fox Capital Outlay. Mr. Gustaveson added that he would be..willing to go for a four cent increase on tap of the proposed seven cent increase. Commissioner Walker stated that he felt the $353 per pupil is a maintenance budget, however, he feels that funding of the $353 could be found through cuts in the budget, without a seven cent increase. The Commissioners discussed Capital Outlay fox the two school systems. Mr. Gustaveson suggested to increase Ch~.pel Hill Capital Outlay of $90,000 and to leave the County's Capital Qutlay at $250,000. He added that he would ga with a 4.5 cent tax increase. Commissioner Pinney stated that he would go with the $353 per student and would go to a ten cent tax increase. Both Commissioners Gustaveson and Willhoit stated that they would go as high as twelve cents tax increase. Chairman Whitted stated that he felt $353 is what is needed, plus $90,OD0 in Capital Outlay for Ghapel Hill. He added that the County when looking at their Capital Improvement Program had put seven cents into the Capital Program to get that out of the way and then next year, the seven cents would be for retirement of bonds. If that seven cents is taken this year and put into on-going programs, next year we will be in the same situation.
