Presentation of Manager's Recommended FY 2016-21 Capital Investment Plan <br /> (CIP) <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> For over 20 years, the County has produced a Capital Investment Plan (CIP) that establishes a <br /> budget-planning guide related to capital needs for the County as well as Schools. The current <br /> CIP consists of a 5-year plan that is evaluated annually to include year-to-year changes in <br /> priorities, needs, and available resources. Approval of the CIP commits the County to the first <br /> year funding only of the capital projects; all other years are used as a planning tool and serves <br /> as a financial plan. <br /> Capital Investment Plan — Overview <br /> The FY 2016-21 CIP includes County Projects, School Projects, and Proprietary Projects. The <br /> School Projects include Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools, Orange County Schools, and <br /> Durham Technical Community College —Orange County Campus projects. The Proprietary <br /> Projects include Water and Sewer, Solid Waste Enterprise Fund, and Sportsplex projects. <br /> The CIP has been prepared anticipating continued slow economic growth of between 1-2% <br /> annually over the next five years. Many of the projects in the CIP will rely on debt financing <br /> to fund the projects. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no immediate financial impact associated with the presentation <br /> of the FY 2016-21 Capital Investment Plan. It is a long-range financial planning tool with a <br /> financial impact in FY 2016-17, if the first year of the CIP is approved by the Board of County <br /> Commissioners with the adoption of the Annual Budget.
