28 <br /> recommended by the County Manager to reduce the tax impact of increasing debt service while <br /> investing in both School and County capital needs. <br /> Reduce the Tax Impact of Debt Service <br /> The FY 2022-33 Capital Investment Plan and the Long Range Financial Model both anticipate <br /> the need to raise the property tax rate by one (1) cent in FY 2023-24 to fund an increase in debt <br /> service that persists over the next three years. This amendment would transfer$6,000,000 of the <br /> FY 2021-22 excess fund balance to a new Debt Service Fund to negate the need for a one (1) <br /> cent tax increase in FY 2023-24. These funds will be appropriated over the next three fiscal years <br /> to fund the scheduled spike in debt service during that time. The Capital Investment Plan currently <br /> includes the first tranche of borrowing for a general obligation bond to occur in FY 2026-27 when <br /> a tax rate increase may be required to fund related debt service. <br /> School Capital Reserve Fund <br /> The School Capital Needs Work Group has identified the need to diversify funding for School <br /> Capital. This amendment transfers $3,500,000 of the excess fund balance to the School Capital <br /> Reserve Fund to provide additional pay-as-you-go(cash)funding to the school districts.The funds <br /> will be used to pay for the upcoming School Capital Needs consultant, and the remainder will be <br /> allocated between the school districts based on FY 2022-23 Average Daily Membership. <br /> County Capital Reserve Fund <br /> This amendment allocates the remaining $2,500,000 to a County Capital Reserve Fund to provide <br /> additional pay-as-you-go(cash)funding for one-time or capital needs. The first use will be funding <br /> the upcoming Strategic Plan consultant. The remaining funds will be identified on future budget <br /> amendments to support other capital or one time spending needs. <br /> Travis Myren gave the following PowerPoint presentation: <br /> Slide #1 <br /> Agenda Item G.a. <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> NORTH TH AR LINA <br /> Approval of an Allocation Framework for the <br /> FY2021 -22 Financial Results <br /> Board of Orange County Co ati-5sroners <br /> January IT, 023 <br />
