23 <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked if it is possible to spread the tax rate increases out over <br /> the next three fiscal years. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said originally, she expected to raise the tax rate to 4.22 cents, but <br /> one-time revenues were used to offset the increases. She said in FY20-21, taxes were not <br /> raised to pay for debt, but that cannot be done again. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said it seems like the Board did in FY21 what he was proposing <br /> for FY22. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said in future years there may be other revenues that help keep tax <br /> rate increases low. She said the County has to pay the debt, and it must balance economics <br /> versus what the residents need. <br /> Slide #11 <br /> FY2021-22 RECOMMENDED BUDGET <br /> EDUCATION <br /> chapm Hill Carrboro city SCM01SICHas) <br /> TF.", ® <br /> 6�. 3�® <br /> ON�GEcC�OUMY <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) saw an increase <br /> of 136 students, while Orange County Schools saw a decrease of 82 students for FY22. <br /> Commissioner McKee asked if the student population figures for the two school systems <br /> were projections from the state, or were actually based on how many are attending right now. <br /> Paul Laughton, Finance and Administration, said these numbers are from the <br /> Department of Public Instruction (DPI), and are projected for next year. He said this is typically <br /> the number staff uses to create the budget. <br /> Commissioner McKee said he would like to know how many students are attending the <br /> school systems as of May 1, 2021. <br /> County Manager said she would bring that information to the May 13 budget work <br /> session.
