53 <br />Figure 11. Town of Chapel Hill, Government Revenues from all Funds, FY 2016 <br />Capital Projects <br />1% .�- <br />He <br />Parking <br />2% <br />Storr <br />The four towns of Orange County have a similar nature in their primary expenditures. <br />These include expenditures for government functions such as police and fire protection, planning <br />and building inspections, economic development, and parks. As is typical of cities, the largest <br />percentage of its expenditures are on public safety and general government administration. The <br />town of Hillsborough expends 53 %, Mebane 58 %, and Chapel Hill 60% of its general revenue <br />funds on these categories while the town of Carrboro is somewhat of an outlier and only spends <br />one -third of its revenue on them. All of the municipalities also devote significant resources to <br />economic development, public works, and parks. One can see the principal expenditure <br />categories by municipality from figures 12 through 15. Other categories of municipal spending <br />that are not consistent across municipalities are special funds for developments like transit <br />spending and affordable housing. These are accounted for separately from general fund revenues <br />and expenditures. <br />CCM Economics, LLC Orange County Tax Equity Page 16 <br />
