cuts across-the-board. Much of the County's budget is not negotiable and cannot be cut which would make the suggested cuts a real hardship on the departments and programs which are not mandated by the state or federal governments. Commissioner Willhoit mentioned it is important that land be purchased as it becomes available. He hoped that the money allocated for School Capital Reserve would be used for that and not for other purposes. A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Willhoit to adopt the Manager's proposed budget with the eight (8) proposals presented by Chair Carey which sets a general tax rate of 94.75 cents and a district tax at 15.5 cents. and provides a per pupil allocation of $1,571 per student. VOTE: AYES: 4 (Chair Carey and Commissioners Halkiotis, Gordon and Willhoit) NOS: Commissioner Crowther County Manager John Link indicated that as he understood the proposal, there would be an additional fund balance of $112,240. That money would include $57,998 for the Junior League Middle School Program, along with an additional $18,000 for the Chapel Hill Library, $5,000 for the Carrboro Library and $32.00 for the Mebane Library. The increased appropriation to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School System would be $402,576 and to the Orange County Schools $287,693. One (.Ol) additional cent on the Property Tax for School Capital Reserve would result in $476,000. The per pupil allocation is $1,571. The property tax rate would be set at 94.75 per $100 assessed valuation. The Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School District Tax is set at $15.4 cents The Fire Districts would remain as they are in the Manager's Recommended Budget.
