3 cents for school recurring capital and 1 cent for county recurring capital. The last column of the chart showed the increase of the current year aver the previous year. (You can view this chart on the county website by clicking on Departments and Services and selecting the Budget Office, and then the 2005-2006 Public Hearing Presentation. The chart is on page 28 of the 34 pages in the presentation.) INCREASE IN CAPITAL APPROPRIATIONS FOR 2005-2006 The chart below takes the numbers in the last column in the Public Hearing Presentation chart and simply separates the Schools part of the chart into CHCCS and OCS. The County part of the chart remains the same. CHCCS Recurring Capital PAYG Long Range Capital TOTAL CHCCS Amount of Increase (Decrease} $ 902,302 (802,955} Recurring and Long Range Capital $ 99,347 OCS Recurring Capital PAYG Long Range Capital $ 569,994 1,301, 415 TOTAL OCS Recurring and Lonq Range Capital $ 1,871,409 COUNTY Recurring Capital $ 1,162,650 PAYG Long Range Capital 2,212,714 TOTAL COUNTY Recurring and Long Range Capital $ 3,375,364 DISCUSSIONS ABOUT REDUCING THE CAPITAL APPROPRIATIONS Discussions about reducing either the recurring capital or long-range capital should consider whether the reductions would hold CHCCS harmless in 2005-2006 as compared with 2004- 2005. That is because the recommendation for the current year for CHCCS is only $99,347 over the previous year. Since 1 cent on the tax rate equals $1,162,650 in this chart, significant reductions would push CHCCS into negative numbers. Note: Projected number of students far CHCCS is 10,863 and for OCS is 7,013. Commissioner Gordan said that the point is that, in the 60140 policy, when long-range and recurring capital are decreased far the schools, CHCCS will be in the negative for capital appropriations. John Link said that the Board might want to look at recurring capital and long-term capital at the same time. He continued going over the alternative scenarios handout. He said that the third cent begins to cut into important goals and objectives of the County Commissioners, such as cutting the per pupil appropriation. He thinks that the Board can probably cut two cents without totally damaging any particular area of County government.
