1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No olr_J4 <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: April 5, 1993 <br /> SUBJECT: 1993-98 Capital Improvements Plan <br /> DEPARTMENT Budget PUBLIC HEARING YES NO X <br /> ATTACHMENT(S) INFORMATION CONTACT <br /> None Sally Kost, ext 2152 <br /> TELEPHONE NUMBER <br /> Hillsborough 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill 968-4501 <br /> Mebane 227-2031 <br /> Durham 688-7331 <br /> PURPOSE: To consider approval of all or portions of the County <br /> Manager' s Recommended 1993-98 Capital Improvements Plan. <br /> BACKGROUND: At the March 8, 1993 meeting of the Orange County Board of <br /> Commissioners, the Manager presented his Recommended 1993-98 Capital <br /> Improvements Plan. The Board received citizen comments on March 23, <br /> 1993 at a public hearing on this subject. <br /> The Board has several options on how to proceed with the CIP. <br /> Following further discussion, the Board may indicate approval of most <br /> of the recommended CIP, either with or without Board amendments. Under <br /> this approach, the Board could deliberate further on specific projects <br /> at a special worksession or a subsequent scheduled meeting. <br /> Alternatively, if unresolved issues remain (for example, on the pool or <br /> school projects) , the Board could still approve the entire CIP in <br /> essentially its present form, with resolution to be pursued outside the <br /> CIP process. In that case, funds earmarked for the TYHA pool project <br /> could be set aside now in a reserve account for an unspecified pool <br /> project (TYHA related or not) that might take shape at a later date. <br /> If a subsequent decision were made not to pursue a pool at this time, <br /> some or all of the funds planned for the pool could be allocated <br /> as suggested in Appendix C of the CIP document, or otherwise as the <br /> Board decides. <br /> Funding recommended for school capital projects for the next two years <br /> is identical to that approved by the Board in last year' s CIP, and <br /> approval of the school portion of the CIP need not involve any <br /> immediate policy change decisions. Outstanding questions about how to <br /> fund any new school facilities that may be needed during the last three <br /> years of the 1993-98 CIP could be addressed in joint worksessions among <br /> the County Commissioners and the two Boards of Education in the months <br /> ahead. <br />
