APPROVED 2/12/96 <br />MINUTES <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />GOAL SETTING RETREAT <br />DECEMBER 9, 1995 <br />The Orange County Board of Commissioners met on Saturday, December 9, <br />1995 at 8:30 a.m. at the Homestead Community Center in Chapel Hill for the <br />purpose of their annual Goal Setting Retreat. <br />COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PRESENT: Chair Moses Carey, Jr., and <br />Commissioners William L. Crowther, Alice M. Gordon, Stephen H. Halkiotis <br />and Don Willhoit. <br />COUNTY ATTORNEY PRESENT: Geoffrey Gledhill <br />COUNTY STAFF PRESENT: County Manager John M. Link, Jr., Assistant <br />County Managers Rod Visser and Albert Kittrell and Clerk to the Board <br />Beverly Blythe (all other County staff will be identified appropriately <br />below) <br />NOTE: All documents referred to in these minutes are in the permanent <br />agenda file in the Clerk's office <br />COUNTY FISCAL POLICY CONSIDERATIONS AND FORECASTS <br />Budget Director Sally Kost used charts to show revenue trends and <br />projections. She emphasized that these are preliminary and she will have <br />a better projection in the Spring. To summarize, the current tax rate is <br />94.5 cents. In FY 1995-96 the general fund revenue from "current" <br />property taxes will be $45.11 million. In FY 1996-97 this will increase <br />to $46.50 million. One cent on the general fund property tax equals <br />$476,000 this fiscal year and is projected to equal $490,700 for FY 1996- <br />97. Sally Kost showed the source of revenues including sales tax, <br />licenses and permits, charges for services, impact fees, intergovernmental <br />revenue, intangibles, tax receipts and earnings on investments. She <br />showed on another chart school enrollment for both school districts and <br />the per pupil current expense appropriation for the past seven years. The <br />additional costs identified by the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School System for <br />new schools for 1996-97 total $1,492,000. Other issues to be considered <br />that may have an impact on the budget includes impact of welfare reform, <br />opening of new jail expansion and the results of the Efficiency and <br />Innovation Committee. Sally Kost said that with regards to the one cent <br />sales tax, there was a weak fourth quarter for FY1994-95 and it looks as <br />if the one-cent sales tax may fall short this year. However, the one-half <br />cent sales tax will probably exceed the estimated budget for this year. <br />This is the tax earmarked for capital projects with 70o going to schools <br />and 30o County. <br />Commissioner Gordon emphasized that the County needs to publicize <br />shopping in Orange County so that sales tax revenue can be increased. <br />Commissioner Willhoit feels this is an opportunity to look at the <br />charges for services. With reference to impact fees, he feels that the <br />Board needs to develop a policy for how the additional $750.00 being <br />collected for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School System should be allocated. <br />John Link noted that Chapel Hill-Carrboro School system will be <br />asking for additional schools while Orange County Schools do not expect to <br />ask for an additional school at this time. <br />
