Article 46 One - Quarter (1/4) Cent Sales Tax Revenues <br />Attachments 2a, 2b, and 2c provide recent financial information relative to the Orange <br />County's Article 46 One - Quarter (1/4) Cent Sales Tax Collection and Use. A pie chart <br />showing the key categories for the Article 46 sales tax expenditure programs for <br />economic development is included. (Actual balances are not shown). <br />The Town and County previously collaborated and signed an Interlocal Agreement to <br />establish a joint 50/50 co -pay for the repair of the privately owned sewer line on <br />Roberson Street serving over 20 businesses. The primary repair cost to replace this <br />sewer line was funded by a State of North Carolina "Community Development Block <br />Grant" (CDBG) through the N.C. Department of Commerce. The County's 50% portion <br />of the remaining cost was originally estimated at $37,500 - $40,000, and was later <br />increased up to an additional $40,000 to cover the increased repair estimate. The <br />County's portion will be paid by Article 46's '/4 cent sales tax proceeds for economic <br />development. The construction of the new sewer line is now complete, most of the <br />existing businesses have since reconnected to the new line, and in the next 30 days the <br />Town expects to invoice the County for the actual co -pay amount. <br />Staff will provide any other information at the meeting, and the governing boards can <br />discuss issues related to this item as necessary. <br />Attachment 2a — Updated Article 46 Sales Tax Uses October 2014 - Economic <br />Development <br />Attachment 2b — Article 46 Sales Tax Collection - September 2014 Report <br />Attachment 2c — Orange County Uses of Article 46 One Quarter Cents Proceeds Since <br />2011 <br />3.
