<br />Proposed Jail — total project costs of $30,000,000, with site related planning costs of $500,000
<br />recommended in Year 3 (FY 2015 -16), architectural /engineering costs of $500,000 in Year 4
<br />(FY 2016 -17), with the construction of a new 250 bed jail recommended in FY 2017 -18 at an
<br />estimated cost of $29,000,000.
<br />Blackwood Farm Park — Funds for construction of an Agricultural, Environment, and Parks
<br />Center, including a permanent parks operations base, are planned for two phases ($3,000,000
<br />in Year 3 and $2,000,000 in Year 5), with design, engineering, and preconstruction funds
<br />totaling $600,000 in Years 1 and 2. The bulk of Park construction is recommended in Year 4
<br />(FY 2016 -17) with funds of $1,300,000.
<br />Eurosport Soccer Center (Phase 11) — This represents an investment in the current facility, with
<br />additional restrooms and parking in Year 2 (FY 2014 -15), as well as conversion of one field to
<br />artificial turf with funds of $800,000 in Year 3 (FY 2015 -16). Possible land acquisition and
<br />design are recommended for Year 5 (FY 2017 -18) with funds of $675,000, with the expansion
<br />of the facility projected in Years 6 -7.
<br />Millhouse Road Park — The recommended budget for this project reflects a possible Town of
<br />Chapel Hill /County partnership concept for this project. Funds of $100,000 for design,
<br />engineering, and preconstruction costs are recommended in Year 2 (FY 2014 -15), with park
<br />construction funds of $6,400,000, including a soccer field complex, walking trails, and other
<br />amenities, recommended in Year 3 (FY 2015 -16).
<br />Future EMS Stations — Funds of $875,000 each in Years 1, 3, and 5 of the CIP are included for
<br />the construction of three (3) stand -alone new substations for Emergency Services, with a fourth
<br />substation planned in Year 7. The cost is for the facility and infrastructure, and assumes
<br />construction on County -owned property. Locations will be identified as part of the process for
<br />facility siting, and may include co- locating with cell towers or with other County operations,
<br />which could possibly reduce the costs. Funding amounts could change on a site -by -site basis.
<br />Communication System Improvements — includes continued phasing in of Emergency Services
<br />800 Mhz radios in Years 1 -4 of the CIP, with replacement of Sheriff radios of $920,000 in Year
<br />5 (FY 2017 -18). Year 1 (FY 2013 -14) also includes financing of P25 Compliant Radio System
<br />Consoles totaling $832,268 and replacement of the main 9 -1 -1 switch - NextGen Phone System
<br />of $402,000 (debt service to be paid with E -9 -1 -1 funds on both of these), and the financing of
<br />P25 compliant portable radios for the rural fire districts (debt service to be paid by the General
<br />Fund). The purchase of the P25 compliant consoles and radios ensures integration to the new
<br />platform that the North Carolina State Highway Patrol /VIPER is scheduled to place in service
<br />during the second half of 2013.
<br />Special Revenue Projects (Article 46 Sales Tax Proceeds) — Highlights
<br />The Special Revenue section includes anticipated revenue from the Article 46 (1/4 cent) Sales
<br />Tax, with 50% of the proceeds for Economic Development initiatives and 50% for Education
<br />(allocated by the ADM count of the two school districts). In FY 2012 -13, proceeds are
<br />estimated at $2,600,000, with 1.5% growth assumed in subsequent years. A summary is
<br />provided within the Special Revenue Projects section of the document listing the recommended
<br />uses of these proceeds.
