He <br /> said there are questions that have come up through the petition process regarding operating <br /> and capital projects that may have been affected by federal funding. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley reminded the BOCC if there are any amendments to the <br /> recommended CIP to send them by email to her and Travis Myren, and they will work with <br /> Finance. She said if there are any offsets, which the commissioners want staff to look into <br /> taking out, to also let her or Travis Myren know. She said the list of amendments will go online <br /> on a daily basis, and all will be able to view what amendments other commissioners are asking <br /> for. <br /> Commissioner Fowler referred to page 173 of the CIP, and said she thought school and <br /> economic development percentage was 50-50. She asked if this had changed. <br /> Paul Laughton said nothing has changed with article 40 and 42, and the half cent sales <br /> tax has been as General Statute for years. He said this can be used for capital outlay or school <br /> debt. He said the Article 46 sales tax was approved by the voters in November 2011, and <br /> became effective April 2012. He said board established the 50% for schools and 50% for <br /> economic development. He said article 40 and 42 are different than the Article 46 sales tax. <br /> Commissioner Fowler said the same page mentions a 60% target for school projects <br /> and 40% for county projects. She asked if the county has been sticking to that, and if Durham <br /> Tech is included in those school projects or if it is supposed to be K-12. <br /> Paul Laughton said it is for school projects, which would be for any education projects, <br /> including Durham Tech. He said this would be a 10-year window of trying to stay around the <br /> target of 60-40. <br /> Commissioner Fowler asked if the county has been staying around that percentage <br /> Paul Laughton said yes, or very close to it. <br /> Chair Price asked for a brief explanation of the pages after 146. <br /> Paul Laughton said these are projects that correspond to page 145, and are ongoing or <br /> have not gone out to financing. He said they are active projects that have not been closed out. <br /> Chair Price clarified that it does not mean the Link Center will go unaddressed. <br /> Paul Laughton said it just means there is no new funding recommended in the CIP for <br /> the next five years. <br /> Commissioner Bedford said Commissioner Hamilton and Commissioner Fowler may <br /> benefit from seeing the format from last year's amendments. She said years ago, the school <br /> collaboration discussed the 60/40 split, and there has not been much analysis since then and <br /> whether this funding is appropriate. She said at one point county buildings were falling into <br /> terrible disrepair and more funds were needed to fix them. She asked if Article 40 was part of <br /> the pay as you go for schools. <br /> Paul Laughton yes, pay as you go and Article 46 monies have been used. He said in <br /> recent years trying to hold to the fund balance at 16% has been challenging. <br />
