BACKGROUND: Each year, the County Manager and staff update the County's ten-year Capital Investment Plan (CIP). The CIP is a multi-year plan that addresses County and school needs for long-lived assets. Items typically included in the CIP are construction, refurbishment, or purchases of buildings; land acquisition or improvement; and major equipment and vehicle acquisition and financing. This process offers an opportunity to review long-term capital needs and enables timely acquisition and phased financing of major assets. With the advent of the Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (SAPFO) system, school capital planning in this and subsequent years will need to be pushed back several months from the historical pattern. Actual student membership figures as of November 15 each year are used as the basis for annually updated student projections generated and analyzed by County, school, and municipal staffs between December and February each year. Once school building capacities and student projections are certified by representatives of all SAPFO partners each February, those projections will become the basis far forecasting additional school facility needs during the subsequent 10 year CIP period. The CIP proposal from the Orange County Board of Education has been provided under separate cover. The Superintendent's recommended CIP for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools has likewise been provided under separate cover, with the Board of Education scheduled to consider it for approval at their May 20 meeting.
