Project Description /Justification <br />The Article 46 (1/4 cent) Sales Tax was approved by the voters in the November 2011 election, and became effective April 1, 2012. The anticipated revenue generated is <br />$2,600,000 for FY 2012 -13, with an assumption of 1.5% growth in subsequent years. 50% of the proceeds are for Economic Development initiatives, and 50% of the proceeds for <br />Education (allocated by the ADM count of the two school districts). In FY 2011 -12, proceeds of $625,000 were estimated for the April -June 2012 quarter. Note: Specific initiative <br />allocations need to be looked at every two years to reassess project allocation schedule. <br />*Note: The Board of County Commissioners approved a Water and Sewer Agreement with the City of Mebane at its June 19, 2012 meeting, whereby the City of Mebane reserves <br />250,000 gallons per day of capacity in the Mebane water and sewer system at a cost of $50,000 per year for a period of 10 years. At such time as the County makes the tenth and <br />final payment of $50,000, the City shall assume responsibility for determing capacity in the service area. The annual cost would be reduced as the reserved capacity in the Mebane <br />system is allocated to new customers in the areas served. <br />55 <br />Current <br />Year 1 <br />Year 2 <br />Year 3 <br />Year 4 <br />Year 5 <br />Five <br />Year 6 <br />Prior Years <br />Fiscal Year <br />Fiscal Year <br />Fiscal Year <br />Fiscal Year <br />Fiscal Year <br />Fiscal Year <br />Year <br />to <br />Project Budget <br />Funding <br />2012 -13 <br />2013 -14 <br />2014 -15 <br />2015 -16 <br />2016 -17 <br />2017 -18 <br />Total <br />Year 10 <br />General Fund Related Operating Costs <br />Personnel Services <br />Operations <br />New Debt Service <br />Total Operating Costs <br />- <br />- <br />- <br />- <br />- <br />- <br />Revenues /Funding Source <br />Article 46 Sales Tax - Economic Development <br />312,500 <br />1,300,000 <br />1,319,500 <br />1,339,293 <br />1,359,382 <br />1,379,773 <br />1,400,469 <br />6,798,416 <br />7,215,590 <br />Article 46 Sales Tax- CHCCS <br />190,625 <br />790,500 <br />801,900 <br />813,471 <br />825,216 <br />837,136 <br />849,236 <br />4,126,959 <br />4,441,123 <br />Article 46 Sales Tax - OCS <br />121,875 <br />509,500 <br />516,850 <br />524,310 <br />531,882 <br />539,568 <br />547,369 <br />2,659,979 <br />2,862,494 <br />Total <br />625.000 <br />2.600.000 <br />2.638.250 <br />2.677.074 <br />2.716.480 <br />2.756.477 <br />2.797.074 <br />13.585.354 <br />14.519.207 <br />Project Description /Justification <br />The Article 46 (1/4 cent) Sales Tax was approved by the voters in the November 2011 election, and became effective April 1, 2012.
