4 <br /> FY 2023-24 Annual Operating Budget for Orange County, including Grants Project <br /> Ordinances <br /> • Attachment 3—the FY 2023-24 County Fee Schedule <br /> Travis Myren, Deputy County Manager, said there are no changes to the resolution of <br /> intent to adopt. <br /> PUBLIC COMMENT: <br /> Makeda Ma'at, president and founder of Landings Tenant Association, said the tenant <br /> association does not support Community Home Trust and continues to face retaliation, disrespect, <br /> unwarranted—eviction proceedings, and mistreatment from the current management. She said <br /> that there is a distinct disparity in the way those receiving housing assistance are treated. She <br /> said that last week they received unsealed door notices of rent increases while others not on <br /> assistance received sealed letters. She said that unpermitted entries continue to happen. She <br /> said that work orders are also not being tracked. She said there is unauthorized staff clearance. <br /> She said that no notification is required by policy. She said that there is a handicapped space that <br /> is reserved for a Community Home Trust Board Member. She said that this requires removal of <br /> resident community space to accommodate the site manager. She asked what type of message <br /> is being sent by supporting CHT. She said that there was a bike rack that has not been replaced <br /> and now it is the garden for a Community Home Trust Board Member. She said there are cameras <br /> to surveil the residents even though they are in a low crime rate area. She asked the Board to not <br /> support CHT and asked that that the Board cease funding until sudden changes are made. <br /> A motion was made by Vice-Chair McKee, seconded by Commissioner Fowler, to adopt <br /> the FY 2023-24 Budget Ordinances and the FY 2023-24 County Fee Schedule, consistent with <br /> the parameters outlined in the Board's "Resolution of Intent to Adopt the FY 2023-24 Orange <br /> County Budget." <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> b. Accept the Ten-Year Capital Investment Plan (CIP) and Approve the FY 2023-24 Orange <br /> County Overall CIP Protects <br /> The Board accepted the FY 2023-33 Orange County Ten-Year Capital Investment Plan (CIP) and <br /> approved the FY 2023-24 Orange County Overall CIP Projects. <br /> BACKGROUND: For over 20 years, the County has produced a Capital Investment Plan (CIP) <br /> that establishes a budget planning guide related to capital needs for the County as well as <br /> Schools. The current CIP consists of a 10-year plan that is evaluated annually to include year-to- <br /> year changes in priorities, needs, and available resources. Approval of the CIP commits the <br /> County to the first year funding only of the capital projects; all other years are used as a planning <br /> tool and serves as a financial plan. <br /> Capital Investment Plan — Overview <br /> The FY 2023-33 CIP includes County Projects, School Projects, and Proprietary Projects. The <br /> School Projects include Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, Orange County Schools, and Durham <br /> Technical Community College — Orange County Campus projects. The Proprietary Projects <br /> include Water and Sewer, Solid Waste Enterprise Fund, and Sportsplex projects. <br /> The CIP has been prepared anticipating moderate economic growth of approximately 2% in <br /> property tax growth over the next ten years, and 4% sales tax growth. Many of the projects in the <br /> CIP will rely on debt financing to fund the projects. <br />
