,~ <br />Laura Blackmon distributed the CIP budget for 2008-18 and there will be a work session on <br />November 13th to go over this. <br />She went through the notebook and reviewed each tab. <br />• Summary of budget calendar and CIP calendar <br />• School capital ordinances to be approved in early spring <br />• Assumptions, principles, and future considerations <br />• Capital project worksheets <br />Donna Coffey pointed out that the capital as well as the annual operating impact was <br />shown for the next ten years on the worksheets. She also said that the information from the <br />schools is the same information that the school systems distributed in September. Also, in <br />Appendix A, the unfunded needs are shown. For County and Schools, it is a little less than <br />$270 million over the next ten years. Also, in Appendix B, the Annual Debt Service Obligations <br />and the debt capacities are shown. Appendix C shows the remaining debt issuances <br />approved on February 20, 2007. <br />Laura Blackmon said that one consideration is the future implications of these projects <br />on operational budgets. She said that even though there is debt capacity to do some of these <br />projects, the operational expense will be very difficult to address. <br />Donna Coffey said that this document would be online by Thursday, and there will be <br />electronic copies on CD in the Budget Office. <br />Chair Carey pointed out that there is no reference to additional revenue sources. Laura <br />Blackmon said that this could be discussed at the work session. <br />10. Appointments <br />a.
