3 <br />Buckhorn-Mebane EDD Phases 3 and 4 -includes $2,500,000 in Year 4 (FY 2018-19) for the <br />Buckhorn-Mebane Phases 3 and 4 construction projects. Note: this project has been moved <br />back two years from the current CIP to allow for the operation of Phase 2 for a period of time <br />prior to starting Phases 3 and 4. <br />Economic Development Utility Extension Project(s)– provides funds of $250,000 in Year 1 (FY <br />2015-16) for future economic development projects that are currently being considered, but <br />have not been finalized. If no project develops in the coming year, which requires utility <br />extension, the funds would be available for future years as needed. <br />Solid Waste: <br />Sanitation – the current FY 2014-15 funds of approximately $3.1 million includes improvements <br />to the Eubanks Road Solid Waste Convenience Center (SWCC), including the relocation of the <br />main landfill entrance and scales from the south side to the north side of Eubanks Road; funds <br />of $296,035 in Year 1 (FY 2015-16) for the replacement of a front end loader; Year 2 (FY 2016- <br />17) includes $519,750 for SWCC improvements at the High Rock Road site; and Year 3 (FY <br />2017-18) includes $393,750 for SWCC improvements at the Ferguson Road site. <br />Recycling Operations – the current FY 2014-15 includes the purchase of a replacement roll off <br />truck and a commercial recycling truck, and the purchase of 7,600 rural recycling carts, at a <br />total cost of $880,203. Year 1 (FY 2015-16) provides for the purchase of 1,750 additional rural <br />carts, the purchase of a new rural curbside recycling truck, the replacement of a rural curbside <br />recycling truck, the replacement of a front end loader, and the construction of a recycling roll <br />cart distribution and maintenance building, at a total Year 1 costs of $1,177,884.

Note:the Solid Waste <br />Management Departmenthas instituted a re-build program for its heavy pieces of equipment <br />(not trucks) rather than being replaced. Re-building, or overhauling, is significantly less <br />expensive than replacing with new equipment, thereby extending its life and reducing costs. <br />Sportsplex– the current FY 2014-15includes funding for a Mezzanine addition at the pool <br />areato include dedicated member change areas and lockers, workout rooms, and a <br />senior/adult cardio strength center. Year 1 (FY 2015-16) includes $2,800,000 for a new building <br />addition that would house an indoor turf field for soccer, lacrosse, senior walking, running, <br />Kidsplex functions, and youth/adult flag football leagues, as well as a basketball court, including <br />bleacher seating, for youth and adult basketball leagues, court based fitness programs, <br />volleyball, and Kidsplex activities. Projected revenue from these new projects would generate <br />enough funds to cover the additional annual debt service needed for these projects. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />There is no immediate financial impact associated with discussion of the <br />FY 2015-20Capital Investment Plan. It is a long-range financial planning tool with a financial <br />impact in FY 2015-16, if the first year of the CIP is approved by the Board of County <br />Commissioners with the adoption of the Annual Budget. <br /> <br />
