1 I Attachment 10 2 3 DRAFT MINUTES 4 ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS 5 Budget Work Session 6 June 11, 2015 7 7:00 p.m. 8 9 The Orange County Board of Commissioners met for a work session on Thursday, June 10 11, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. at the Southern Human Services Center in Chapel Hill, N.C. 11 12 Chair McKee called the meeting to order at 7:01 p.m. He noted the following items at 13 the Commissioners' places: 14 - White pages, paper clipped together: Orange County Capital Investment Plan (CIP) summary 15 pages 16 - blue sheet—Orange County CIP Year 1 (FY 2015-16) Recommended Projects, revised 17 - gold sheet— North Carolina Board of Education Compensation Comparisons, Orange County 18 Regional Comparisons for discussion purposes 19 - green sheet— North Carolina Elected Official Compensation Comparisons, Orange County 20 Regional Comparisons for discussion purposes 21 22 1. FY2015-20 Capital Investment Plan 23 Accept the Five Year Capital Investment Plan and Approve the Intent to Adopt 24 Capital Funding for FY2015-16 25 Paul Laughton, Orange County Finance Administrative Services, reviewed the revisions 26 to the CIP. He said on page 6 two projects have been changed from pay-as-you-go (PAYG) to 27 debt financing: Cedar Grove Kiosk and the generator project for Hillsborough Commons. He 28 said this caused a revision to the debt service pages on 133 and 134. 29 Commissioner Jacobs said Fairview Park is not in the CIP. 30 Paul Laughton said Fairview Park is not a CIP Project. He said the parks project for 31 repairs and renovations for Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks and Recreation 32 (DEAPR) has $300,000 for next year and some of that funding will go to the Fairview Park and 33 to paving the parking area. 34 David Stancil, DEAPR Director, said this is correct and the project is to pave the 35 Fairview Police sub-station parking lot in order to gain parking spots for Fairview Park. He said 36 the County will split the costs evenly with the Town of Hillsborough. He said the second 37 alternative is to have parking on Rainey Avenue which is adjacent to the Park. He said in the 38 long term there may be need for the larger parking lot that is in the master plan at a cost of 39 $400,000 to $500,000. He said this would be off of the public works drive. He said the road 40 extension and the parking lot are the only items remaining in the existing Master Plan. He said 41 that is a future phase. 42 Commissioner Jacobs clarified that there is $300,000 for improvements for all of the 43 parks for FY 2015-16 and to build this parking lot out would cost $500,000. 44 David Stancil said that is correct. He said an interim solution is being sought and that 45 will create 40 to 50 parking spaces. He said paving a gravel parking lot typically provides 10 46 percent more spots than were present on the gravel lot. 47 Commissioner Jacobs asked if there is a way to track the funds for the Fairview Park 48 project. 49 David Stancil said going forward items in a particular group, in a particular CIP year, 50 could be sub-listed.
