Due to transitioning from the former Superintendent to <br />the newly hired one, the Orange County School Board had an opportunity to review and <br />approve that District's unfunded capital needs for the ten-year period of 2008-18 and <br />consequently a list of unfunded needs for the District were absent from the County's proposed <br />Capital Investment Plan. <br />On November 15, 2007, Commissioners conducted a public hearing on the proposed 2008-18 <br />CIP where five residents addressed the Board and stated their support of specific projects and <br />capital needs: <br />additional clinic and office space for the County's Health Department <br />~. additional client and office space for the Department of Social Services <br />creation of a southwest branch of the Hyconeechee Public bibrary <br />~: unfunded needs identified by the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools <br />Recognizing the need for additional information, including a list of unfunded needs for Orange <br />County Schools, Commissioners acknowledged that they would be unable to adopt the 2008-18 <br />capital plan on their originally targeted date of December 3, 2007. <br />
