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 2024-34 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 and 4% sales tax growth over the next ten years. Many of the projects in the <br /> CIP will rely on debt financing to fund the projects. <br /> The items below include revisions made to the following Capital Projects since the presentation <br /> of the Manager's Recommended Capital Investment Plan on April 2, 2024: <br /> • As a part of the annual budget process, adjustments are made to the allocation of school <br /> funding based on changes to the FY 2024-25 budgeted average daily membership (ADM) <br /> percentages. At the time of the Capital Improvement Plan presentation, only FY 2022-23 <br /> ADM information was available. The impact of these numbers changed the CHCCS <br /> percentage from 58.44% to 58.40% and changed the OCS percentage from 41.56% to <br />
