ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: March 21, 2000 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. ~~, <br />SUBJECT: Adoption of County Capi#al Projects <br />DEPARTMENT: Budget <br />PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Funding Status of 1999-09 Approved Donna Dean <br />County Capital Projects <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />County Capital Projects Hillsborough, Chapel Hill, Durham <br />245-2151 <br />Mebane 336-245-2151 <br />PURPOSE:. To adopt county capital project ordinances for projects included in the 1999-09 <br />Capital Investment Plan (CIP). <br />BACKGROUND: On June 21, 1999, the Board approved the County's ten-year Capital <br />Investment Plan for the period 1999-2009. At that time, the Board decided to approve <br />individual project ordinances for the County and both school systems during the fiscal year as <br />project scopes develop. While the Board approved the ten-year funding plan as a whole, it <br />decided to change the approval process for individual projects. <br />For projects that have a relatively small scope of work, the Board decided to approve the <br />entire. project ordinance at one time. Since the beginning of this fiscal year, the Board <br />has approved several capital project ordinances for smaller projects in the Chapel Hill <br />Carrboro City Schools including mobile classrooms, various roofing projects, and ADA <br />requirements. <br />• For major projects, the Board elected to approve funding for individual components of the <br />project rather than allocating a lump sum for the project. Major components include: <br />• Planning, architect, engineering <br />• Land acquisition and associated fees <br />• Construction <br />• Equipment & Furnishings <br />
