<br /> Recurring Capital
<br /> Recurring capital for both School districts remains the same as the prior year appropriation of $3
<br /> million dollars. The budget for FY 2022-23 includes $1,763,400 for Chapel Hill-Carrboro City
<br /> Schools and $1,236,600 for Orange County Schools. For FY 2022-23, a mix of debt financing
<br /> (see page 95 of the Capital Investment Plan (CIP)) and pay-as-you-go funding (see page 132 of
<br /> the Operating Budget) is recommended for Recurring Capital. Recurring capital pays for facility
<br /> improvements, equipment, furnishings, and vehicle and bus purchases. State statutes mandate
<br /> counties to fund recurring capital. However, the amount of money counties allocate to this function
<br /> is discretionary and varies from county to county. Note: These amounts have been revised
<br /> (represented by yellow highlighting on Attachment 2-E) from the Original Recommended Capital
<br /> Investment Plan to reflect the revised average daily membership (ADM) percentage, as included
<br /> in the FY 2022-23 Manager Recommended Operating Budget.
<br /> Long Range Capital
<br /> The County plans and programs long-range school capital funding through the County's Capital
<br /> Investment Plan (CIP). The recommended CIP budget for FY 2022-23 includes $2,502,680 for
<br /> Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools and $1,755,026 for Orange County Schools, as detailed on
<br /> Attachment 2-E, which is an updated version of page 95 of the CIP using the most recent ADM
<br /> for each district. This combines to a total of$4,257,706, which represents an increase of$83,484
<br /> from FY 2021-22. A 2% annual growth rate is included throughout the years of the CIP related to
<br /> Long Range Capital. For FY 2022-23, as was the case in FY 2021-22, debt financing will be
<br /> utilized, instead of pay-as-you-go funds for Long Range Capital projects. Similar to Local Current
<br /> Expense funding, the amount of money counties allocate to long-range capital expenditures is
<br /> discretionary and varies from county to county.
<br /> School Debt Service
<br /> The recommended budget provides for $21,807,353 in School Related Debt Service, which
<br /> represents repayment of principal and interest on School related debt, including general obligation
<br /> bonds and private placement loans. This is a decrease of $1,930,893 from FY 2021-22. North
<br /> Carolina statutes require counties to pay for school related capital items, such as acquisition and
<br /> construction of facilities. In instances where counties borrow funds to pay for such items, the State
<br /> mandates counties to repay the debt. The amount of money counties borrow for school related
<br /> projects is discretionary and varies from county to county.
