The current CIP consists of a 5-year plan that is evaluated annually to include year-to- <br />year changes in priorities, needs, and available resources. Approval of the CIP commits the <br />County to the first year funding only of the capital projects; all other years are used as a <br />planning tool and serves as a financial plan. <br /> <br />Capital Investment Plan – Overview <br />The FY2019-24 CIP includes County Projects, School Projects, and Proprietary Projects. The <br />School Projects include Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools, Orange County Schools, and <br />Durham Technical Community College – Orange County Campus projects. The Proprietary <br />Projects include Water and Sewer, Solid Waste Enterprise Fund, and Sportsplex projects. <br /> <br />The CIP has been prepared anticipating moderate economic growth of approximately 2% in <br />property tax growth and 4% in sales tax growth annually over the next five years. Many of the <br />projects in the CIP will rely on debt financing to fund the projects. <br /> <br />Attachment 1 is the FY2019-24 Capital Investment Plan Overall Summary (individual projects <br />were provided to the Board of County Commissioners at previous work sessions, and revised <br />School Capital and Overall Summaries presented and discussed at the June 11, 2019 budget <br />work session). <br />1
