13 <br /> 1 Chair Bedford asked the consultants to explain what minimum and PRV means. <br /> 2 David Sturtz said the PRV is the present replacement value. He said that it is similar to <br /> 3 figuring out when a maintenance or repair cost is more than a certain percentage of the <br /> 4 replacement cost, it might be time to consider replacement rather than repair. He said that they <br /> 5 identiifed that$27.5 million should be budgeted per year. He said they recommend this is updated <br /> 6 every 5 years. <br /> 7 Commissioner McKee asked if $27.5 million is above and beyond what is being spent <br /> 8 now. <br /> 9 David Sturtz said no, that is the total and would include what is being spent now and it is <br /> 10 a sum of the identified defencieis. He said this is only for ongoing capital renewals and does not <br /> 11 include new builds. He said it is for repairs only. <br /> 12 Commissioner McKee said he realizes this is just to keep them afloat. He said that if they <br /> 13 increase the funds to spend what is recommended, they will need to have a .5 or .6 cent tax <br /> 14 increase per year. <br /> 15 David Sturtz said that the Commissioners have a big challenge in front of them. <br /> 16 Commissioner Fowler said the budget includes $53.7 million for Chapel Hill High School <br /> 17 and it was just rebuilt. <br /> 18 David Sturtz said they will get into detail on the individual recommendations slide. He said <br /> 19 you can always expect the high schools to be more expensive. He said the larger schools, even <br /> 20 if newer, need major work on systems in the 20-25 year mark. <br /> 21 Chair Bedford said $72 million was just invested into Chapel Hill High School. <br /> 22 Commissioner McKee said that it was at least $50 million of rebuild and replace so they <br /> 23 will be curious at what needs to be done at the projected cost. <br /> 24 David Sturtz said he imagines, without looking at the details, is the legacy part of the <br /> 25 building having HVAC, roof, and mechanicals and those usually reflect the large numbers. He <br /> 26 said the truth is, you probably wont spend every dime in year 15 in a projection like this. He said <br /> 27 it assumes the life is 20 years on HVAC, and at that 20 year mark, it projects as due. He said this <br /> 28 assumes zero deferred maintenance on the needs. He said if it can be deferred, then great. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 Slide #10 <br /> 31 <br /> 32 <br />
