x Major Plumbing Repairs - $250,780 <br /> <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 /> <br />x Parking Lot Improvements - $145,500 <br /> <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 /> <br />x Whitted Medical Clinic Renovations - $68,200 <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />x 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 /> <br /> <br />14
