2 <br /> 1 Note: My second suggestion, that the county consider the use of zero <br /> 2 based budgeting in some or all departments during the next fiscal year, <br /> 3 was not adopted. Adopting the suggestion requires more effort because <br /> 4 it involves starting each unit's budget at zero and evaluating all the <br /> 5 programs to see if they should receive funding. <br /> 6 <br /> 7 GROWTH MANAGEMENT <br /> 8 <br /> 9 Promote effective long range planning by compiling information which <br /> 10 gives an overall perspective on growth and development <br /> 11 <br /> 12 A. Provide an infrastructure Impact Statement for each new <br /> 13 development in the county's jurisdiction <br /> 14 Each subdivision or other development utilizes some of <br /> 15 the capacity of the infrastructure, e.g. roads, parks and <br /> 16 recreation, and schools. For each development, the staff <br /> 17 would produce an Infrastructure Impact Statement which <br /> 18 would specify the extent to which a given development <br /> 19 utilizes some of this infrastructure capacity. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 B. Work with Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and the Chapel Hill-Carrboro <br /> 22 school system to provide a School Capacity Impact Statement <br /> 23 for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools <br /> 24 The staff would work with these jurisdictions to obtain <br /> 25 relevant information for new developments in the city <br /> 26 school district so that the county can track the capacity <br /> 27 utilization in that district. <br /> 28 <br /> 29 C.

He <br /> 38 will provide a report for the first meeting in February on this <br /> 39 situation.
