3 <br /> <br />Commissioner Rich asked if there has been discussion with the schools about 1 <br />reallocating some of the $2.7 million to some of the other projects that were on CHCCS’s to do 2 <br />list. 3 <br />Travis Myren said Todd LoFrese, CHCCS Assistant Superintendent, can better address 4 <br />this at the joint meeting of the BOCC and the School Boards on April 24th, but a lot of that 5 <br />decision will be driven by whether it is indeed $2.7 million, or if it is actually more/less. 6 <br /> Travis Myren resumed the presentation: 7 <br /> 8 <br />FY2018-23 Recommended CIP Education Capital Projects (bar chart) 9 <br /> 10 <br />Project Schedule – Critical Path Approvals (chart) 11 <br /> 12 <br />Commissioner Price asked if any problems are expected in securing the Special Use 13 <br />Permit (SUP). 14 <br />Chair Dorosin said he sent out notes to the BOCC from the joint school staff meeting, 15 <br />but the Towns are not involved in these meetings. He said there were some concerns 16 <br />expressed from the public about the stream crossings, and staff has offered up mitigation 17 <br />solutions. He said if the permit does not get approved by April 23rd then the project (CHCCS 18 <br />High) will be significantly delayed. 19 <br />Commissioner McKee asked if the stream crossings are on the feeder streams of Bolin 20 <br />Creek, or another area. 21 <br />Jeff Thompson, Asset Management Services Director, said it is the feeder streams and 22 <br />some wetland impact areas areas, which were resolved recently. He said there is still some 23 <br />question about how the feeder stream will be crossed, and the engineering of that, but this has 24 <br />been somewhat solved with the group. 25 <br />Commissioner McKee said there is some continuing work to be done to solve some of 26 <br />these issues, and hopefully it should be resolved by this summer. 27 <br />Jeff Thompson said there were some concerns about traffic queuing, and this is being 28 <br />work ed through. 29 <br />Travis Myren resumed the presentation: 30 <br /> 31 <br />Long Term Debt Service Model (bar chart) 32 <br /> 33 <br />Chair Dorosin asked if there is a reason that the existing revenues are flat (red line on 34 <br />chart). 35 <br />Travis Myren said these are the existing revenues that are required to support the 36 <br />existing debt. He said as time goes on, this is independent of the tax rate. He said the green 37 <br />line includes that natural growth of the tax base, which will occur. 38 <br />Commissioner Burroughs referred to the two-year span, where the blue line goes over 39 <br />green line, and what would happen if there was no natural growth. 40 <br />Travis Myren said in 2021, more than is needed will be collected to meet the blue line, 41 <br />and those funds will be saved, put in the bank and applied to where the blue line exceeds the 42 <br />green line. He said this will take excess generated at 2.54, and apply it at 0.02, so that the 43 <br />increase at that time will not have to be as high as it otherwise would be. 44 <br /> Travis Myren resumed the presentation: 45 <br /> 46 <br />FY2018-23 Recommended Capital Investment Plan - chart 47 <br />• Total Recommended Capital Budget Expenditures 48 <br />• Durham Tech Orange County Campus 49 <br /> 50
