5 <br /> <br /> PUBLIC SAFETY <br /> Criminal Justice Resources - 0.5 FTE (Contingent on new ABC revenue) <br /> <br />Commissioner Marcoplos asked if there is a deadline for the Town of Chapel Hill to <br />make a decision on the Food Council position. <br />Bonnie Hammersley said by early June. <br />Commissioner Marcoplos asked how much Chapel Hill is being asked to contribute. <br />Bonnie Hammersley said about $40,000. She resumed the PowerPoint presentation: <br /> <br />FY2018-19 Recommended Budget Education <br />Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) <br />Orange County Schools (OCS) – table <br /> <br />Chair Dorosin said he wants to know how exactly many students there are in CHCCS. <br />Paul Laughton, Deputy Finance and Administrative Services Director, said it would be <br />12,387 minus 155 charter students. <br />Chair Dorosin said OCS is 8,011 minus 769. <br />Paul Laughton said yes. <br />Chair Dorosin said the County is giving money for the total numbers of 12,387 for <br />CHCCS and 8,011 for OCS. <br />Paul Laughton said yes. <br />Bonnie Hammersley resumed the PowerPoint presentation: <br /> <br />Education: CHCCS and OCS Operations <br /> <br />Paul Laughton referred to the previous slide, and said the out of district pupils are in the <br />seats. He said these students are not included in the ADM, because they pay tuition. <br />Chair Dorosin asked if the number of the actual students in the seats could be identified. <br />Bonnie Hammersley said she would get the specific numbers in a simpler format to the <br />BOCC by the May 10th public hearing. <br />Commissioner Rich asked if this changes the percentages. <br />Bonnie Hammersley said no, and the ADM determines the percentages, and those <br />percentages are determined by the information received from DPI. <br />Commissioner McKee said, as he understands it, in Orange County Schools there are <br />103 out of district students in the seats, for which the County does not pay, and 769 students in <br />charter schools seats, for which the County does pay. He said the funds for charter school <br />students is double, because the per pupil goes to the charter school, and the local district <br />school is also held harmless. <br />Chair Dorosin said then that money is distributed among the rest of the kids, making the <br />per pupil higher than $4,000. He said he would like to know this specific figure. <br />Bonnie Hammersley said staff will get that information to the BOCC. She resumed the <br />PowerPoint presentation: <br /> <br />Capital Funding for Schools <br /> <br />Bonnie Hammersley said she is recommending a Deferred Maintenance Plan for each <br />of the school districts, and is proposing to use about $3 million out of the $8 million fund <br />balance. She said if the BOCC adopts this recommendation, the schools can provide a list of <br />jobs to the County, and the County will reimburse the schools as these projects are completed. <br />She resumed the PowerPoint presentation:
