CAPS are not required by the local government to be issued prior to development approvals. Once students generated from Mebane development actually enter the school system, faster enrollment increases would affect projections and may identify CIP needs within 10 years, unless enrollment is balanced by slower growth in other areas of the district. 8. Student Generation Rates Following the certification of the 2009 SAPFOTAC report and in accordance with the process outlined in the SAPFO MOUs, the SAPFO Technical Advisory Committee recommended the BOCC adopt the updated Student Generation Rates included in the 2007 TischlerBise impact fee analysis. On October 6, 2009, the Orange County Board of Commissioners approved the updated Student Generation Rates, as recommended by the SAPFOTAC. The updated Student Generation Rates become effective with the November 15, 2010 CAPS system update. These new rates generally show higher student generation rates for various housing types. 9. Access to Full Report The draft SAPFOTAC report will be posted on the Orange County Planning Department's web site. A letter and the Executive Summary of the report will be sent to all SAPFO partners after this BOCC meeting advising them of the availability of the draft report and inviting comment. It is anticipated the draft 2010 SAPFOTAC report will be brought back to the BOCC for certification at the May 6, 2010 regular meeting. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Current 10-year student growth projections show future needs for additional schools in the CHCCS District. CHCCS Elementary School #11 is projected to be needed in 2012-13. CHCCS Middle School #5 is projected to be needed in 2016-17, and expansion of Carrboro High School is expected to be necessary in 2019-20. Section 7 of the Schools Adequate Public Facilities Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) states, "Orange County will use its best efforts to provide the funding to carry out the Capital Improvement Plan referenced in Section 1 above." RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board: 1. Receive the 2010 SAPFOTAC Annual Report; and 2. Authorize the Chair to sign the transmittal letter to SAPFO partners contained in Attachment 1.
