<br /> County Support of Orange County Campus of Durham Technical Community College
<br /> Durham Technical Community College (DTCC) — Orange County Campus requested $868,967
<br /> for Operations (an increase of $145,711 from FY 2020-21), Capital Outlay funds of $75,000 (no
<br /> change from FY 2020-21), and $250,000 related to financial aid ($200,000 to continue the funding
<br /> of 200 scholarships for Orange County residents attending DTCC — this is funded through Article
<br /> 46 One-Quarter Cent Sales Tax proceeds), and a new funding request of $50,000 for financial
<br /> aid grants for Back to Work students when their courses are not covered by the State.
<br /> The recommended funding for the Orange County Campus of Durham Technical Community
<br /> College, located at the Waterstone Development in Hillsborough, provides current expense
<br /> funding of $777,092 (an increase of $53,836 from FY 2020-21), recurring capital of $75,000 (the
<br /> same as in FY 2020-21), and debt service of $264,500. In addition, the recommended budget
<br /> includes $200,000 for 200 scholarships (student tuition for Orange County Residents) and
<br /> $50,000 for financial aid for Back to Work students when their courses are not covered by the
<br /> State. Both of these will be paid from Article 46 Sales Tax proceeds instead of through Current
<br /> Expenses.
<br /> As with local school districts, counties in North Carolina are responsible for supplementing state
<br /> and federal appropriations to community colleges. For the most part, counties are responsible for
<br /> day-to-day operating costs such as utilities, security and custodial services. The Counties are not
<br /> responsible for funding of teaching staff.
<br /> Capital Investment Plan
<br /> The FY 2021-22 Manager Recommended Capital Investment Plan includes funding of$8,318,267
<br /> in FY 2021-22, and a 5-Year total of $51,122,108, for Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools; and
<br /> funding of $19,186,597 in FY 2021-22, and a 5-Year total of $40,913,010 for Orange County
<br /> Schools. Note: these amounts have been revised (represented by yellow highlighting on
<br /> Attachment 1-F) from the Original Recommended Capital Investment Plan to reflect the revised
<br /> ADM%, as included in the FY 2021-22 Manager Recommended Operating Budget.
<br /> Supplemental Deferred Maintenance Program
<br /> The FY 2020-21 CIP introduced a supplemental funding program for deferred maintenance and
<br /> life and safety improvements in schools. The program would involve an expenditure of$30 million
<br /> over a three year period to expedite each School District's backlog of deferred maintenance
<br /> projects in anticipation of a potential general obligation bond referendum in future years.
<br /> The total amount was divided between the Districts on the basis of average daily membership in
<br /> FY 2020-21. As a result, Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools was allocated 59.99% or$17,997,000
<br /> of the $30 million total while Orange County Schools was allocated 40.01% or $12,003,000 of the
<br /> total amount.
<br /> Given this allocation, each District was requested to provide a three year plan for these
<br /> expenditures.
<br /> Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools received $1,800,000 in FY 20-21, to upgrade mechanical
<br /> systems at McDougle Elementary, McDougle Middle, and Phillips Middle schools, and
<br /> architectural/engineering services for prioritized older school renovations, scheduled in FY 2022-
<br /> 23 and FY 2023-24; $10,000,000 is budgeted in FY 22-23 (moved back from FY 2021-22) and
