7 1 Craig Benedict said no, the agreements do not specify percentages; rather they give a 2 general use category. He said that language can be tailored, or specific categories created, to 3 better allay concerns. 4 Commissioner Rich echoed Commissioner Jacobs stating the public voted for money to 5 go towards Economic Development not infrastructure to build new houses. 6 Chair McKee said he sees no mention of Rogers Road in this section of the CIP. 7 Paul Laughton said Rogers Road is in the County's Capital Project plan, on page 37 of 8 the CIP. 9 Bonnie Hammersley said at the May 19th meeting, the agreement to start Phase 2 will 10 be brought to the Board. 11 Paul Laughton reviewed the following portions of the CIP: 12 Water& Sewer Utilities: 13 a.) Buckhorn EDD— Phase 2 Extension (Efland Sewer to Mebane) — includes $240,000 in 14 Year 1 (FY 2015-16) for project management funds related to the construction of the 15 project, which will be completed in FY 2015-16; this continues to fit into the long range 16 strategy to ultimately turn over the operation of the Elfand sewer system to the Town of 17 Mebane. 18 b.) Hillsborough EDD - reflects funds of$1,000,000 in Year 1 (FY 2015-16) for construction 19 of water and sewer infrastructure in this EDD. 20 c.) Eno EDD - includes $1,050,000 in Year 1 (FY 2015-16) to begin the construction work in 21 this EDD, as well as an additional $750,000 in Year 2 (FY 2016-17) due to the planned 22 construction timeline crossing two fiscal years. Note: this project has been moved up 2-3 23 years from the current CIP, because there is a smaller area in the eastern portion of the 24 EDD that could be served by gravity sewer and may offer an opportunity to begin 25 extending infrastructure within the next two years. 26 d.) Buckhorn-Mebane EDD Phases 3 and 4 - includes $2,500,000 in Year 4 (FY 2018-19) 27 for the Buckhorn-Mebane Phases 3 and 4 construction projects. Note: this project has 28 been moved back two years from the current CIP to allow for the operation of Phase 2 29 for a period of time prior to starting Phases 3 and 4. 30 e.) Economic Development Utility Extension Project (s) - provides funds of$250,000 in 31 Year 1 (FY 2015-16) for future economic development projects that are currently being 32 considered, but have not been finalized. If no project develops in the coming year, 33 which requires utility extensions, the funds would be available for future years as 34 needed. 35 Commissioner Jacobs asked Steve Brantley if Duke University could be reengaged as 36 infrastructure is being put in. He said he recalled Duke was looking for park and ride lots and 37 there are great opportunities sitting to the east of the County. 38 Steve Brantley said it would behoove the County to reestablish a connection with Scott 39 Selig, Associate Vice President of Capital Assets and Real Estate at Duke, and that he and his 40 staff would pull that together. He said there are other prospects within Durham too. 41 Commissioner Rich asked if there are plans in the southern part of the County for Article 42 46 monies. 43 Craig Benedict said there is $250,000 available to be allocated as needed. 44 Commissioner Rich said there were discussions with the Town of Chapel Hill regarding 45 the Ephesus Fordham project and asked if that fits into this part of the CIP. 46 Bonnie Hammersley said the Ephesus Fordham project would be an eligible use of 47 Article 46 funds as it is Economic Development. She said the Town of Chapel Hill was 48 requested to show data from the performance evaluation. 49 Commissioner Rich asked if the performance evaluation will be available before the end 50 of the 2015-2016 fiscal year.
