21 <br /> • Justice Facility Improvements - $43,220 <br /> The County is responsible for providing facilities for the court system. FY 19-20 funding <br /> is requested to replace recessed lighting fixtures in the Mural Courtroom with LED <br /> fixitures, install a counter in the Juvenile Section of the Clerk of Court's Office to <br /> increase security, install glass partitions at the Clerk of Courts counter to enhance <br /> security, and improve the furniture within the Probate Office to ensure privacy. <br /> • Lake Orange Dam Rehabilitation - $95,000 <br /> Lake Orange is a Class II public water supply reservoir owned by Orange County. The <br /> Lake's primary uses are to serve as a public water supply as designated by the North <br /> Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) and to maintain minimum flows <br /> in the Eno River, as defined within the Eno River Water Management Plan. In the Fall of <br /> 2018, NCDEQ and a private engineering firm conducted an inspection of the lake <br /> Orange Dam that identified numerous deficiencies. This project would begin a multi-year <br /> approach to repair these deficiencies, addressing high priority projects in FY2019-20 <br /> and FY2020-21. These projects include blasting and painting the intake tower beams <br /> and gate actuators and replacing the concrete expansion joints and sluice gate. <br /> • Major Plumbing Repairs - $250,780 <br /> Three large plumbing projects are proposed in the FY2019-20 CIP. The first project <br /> would repair the underground hot water piping at the Whitted Building. This piping failed <br /> over the winter which revealed urgent repairs and caused significant service disruption. <br /> The second project would repair the septic tank line under the Cedar Grove Community <br /> Center to improve flows. This project is intended to address sewer system failures during <br /> high capacity events. If this repair does not correct the capacity deficiencies, a $2 million <br /> system replacement is envisioned for FY2022-23. Finally, this project would connect the <br /> Orange County Public Transit facility to the Town of Hillsborough sewer. <br /> • Parking Lot Improvements - $145,500 <br /> Funding approved in FY2018-19 included asphalt repairs, gravel, and site work for the <br /> Sheriff's Office and OCPT vehicle fleets at the Motor Pool facility. This funding was <br /> repurposed during FY2018-19 for emergency remediation projects. Therefore, funding is <br /> requested to complete this work in FY2019-20. Other funding requested in FY2019-20 <br /> includes a professional assessment for the Eno River Parking Deck and paving the <br /> David Price Farmer's Market Pavilion parking area. <br /> • Whitted Medical Clinic Renovations - $68,200 <br /> The Whitted medical clinic waiting room is currently underutilized. This project requests <br /> $68,200 to create four office spaces. An underutilized storage room in the Whitted <br /> medical clinic would replace the current waiting area. The new waiting area will be next <br /> to the entry to the clinic and would improve wayfinding and patient flow. This project is <br /> funded using Medicaid Maximization Funds. <br /> Parks, Open Space, and Trail Development <br /> The Board has consistently expressed support for parks, open space, and trail development <br /> that preserves natural areas of the County and promotes nature activities for County residents. <br /> This support is represented by the Parks and Open Space Master Plan as well as the individual <br /> master plans that have been adopted and periodically updated for each park property. The <br /> FY2019-20 CIP recommends funding for the following projects: <br /> • Cedar Grove Park Phase II - $550,000 <br />
