Changes were made to the <br />current year's County Capital Budget as part of the 2009/2010 Annual Budget preparation. A <br />2009 -19 CIP was not prepared in the fall of 2009. <br />CURRENT SITUTATION: The economic conditions in North Carolina have made the <br />preparation of the Fiscal Year 2010/2011 annual budget challenging at best. Uncertainty <br />concerning the State Budget, Sales Tax Revenues that are down 30% over the past 3 years, <br />and the reality that the County can not endure another property tax increase make long -range <br />capital planning particularly difficult. <br />
