CHCCS — Lottery Paul Laughton, (919) 245-2152 <br /> Proceeds Debt Service <br /> Application <br /> PURPOSE: To approve an application to the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction <br /> (NCDPI) to release proceeds from the NC Education Lottery account related to FY 2015-16 <br /> debt service payments for Chapel Hill — Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS), and to approve <br /> Budget Amendment #6-A (amended School Capital Project Ordinances), contingent on the <br /> NCDPI's approval of the application. <br /> BACKGROUND: Both County School Systems have previously presented approved <br /> resolutions from their respective Boards requesting that the County modify its Capital Funding <br /> Policy by applying accumulated lottery funds to debt service payments, and permitting current <br /> year withdrawals of lottery proceeds immediately after the State's quarterly lottery fund <br /> allocations. This policy expedites both the application process and the receipt of funds for both <br /> school systems. <br /> Currently, the accumulated available lottery proceeds for Chapel Hill — Carrboro City Schools <br /> (CHCCS) is $202,896. The attached application requests NCDPI to release lottery proceeds in <br /> the amount of $202,896 to cover debt service for projects previously financed for the Chapel Hill <br /> — Carrboro City Schools system. <br /> Budget Amendment #6-A provides for the receipt of the Lottery Proceeds, contingent on <br /> NCDPI's approval of the application, and substitutes the amount of Lottery Proceeds approved <br /> for debt service as additional Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) funds for FY 2015-16 for CHCCS long- <br /> range capital needs and projects, and amends the budgets for the following CHCCS capital <br /> projects: <br />
