• Major Plumbing Repairs- $250,780 <br /> Three large plumbing projects are proposed in the FY2019-20 CIP. The first project would <br /> repair the underground hot water piping at the Whitted Building. This piping failed over the <br /> winter which revealed urgent repairs and caused significant service disruption. The second <br /> project would repair the septic tank line under the Cedar Grove Community Center to <br /> improve flows. This project is intended to address sewer system failures during high <br /> capacity events. If this repair does not correct the capacity deficiencies, a $2 million system <br /> replacement is envisioned for FY2022-23. Finally, this project would connect the Orange <br /> 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 David <br /> 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 medical <br /> clinic would replace the current waiting area. The new waiting area will be next to the entry <br /> to the clinic and would improve wayfinding and patient flow. This project is funded using <br /> Medicaid Maximization Funds. <br /> Parks, Open Space, and Trail Development <br /> The Board has consistently expressed support for parks, open space, and trail development that <br /> preserves natural areas of the County and promotes nature activities for County residents. This <br /> 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 /> Funding proposed in FY 2019-20 would fund Phase II-A of the Park's development. This <br /> phase of development would feature an additional small baseball/softball fields to address <br /> the loss of similar t-ball fields in Hillsborough in 2020 and associated parking and <br /> infrastructure. Phase II-B in Years 6-10 would add tennis courts, a picnic shelter and <br /> additional parking. <br /> 14 <br />
