ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: April 21, 2003 Action Agenda Item No. 4 SUBJECT: Informational Reports DEPARTMENT: County Manager ATTACHMENT(S): As noted in "Background" PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) INFORMATION CONTACT: John Link or Rod Visser, ext 2300 No TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Hillsborough Chapel Hill Durham Mebane 732-8181 968-4501 688-7331 336-227-2031 PURPOSE: To receive information previously requested by the Board of County Commissioners and other information related to development and administration of the County's operating budget. BACKGROUND: a. Impacts from FY 2002-03 Reductions in County Capital Projects and School Recurring Capital During the "Fiscal Outlook" segment of the Board's February 24, 2003 work session, Commissioners requested information about the impacts of reductions in capital funding for FY 2002-03 that were necessitated during the last budget cycle by the State's withholding of reimbursements due to the County for this fiscal year. While the BOCC made it clear that it could not promise the restoration of any of those reductions, the Board did express interest in knowing: 1) how school recurring capital money has been spent in recent years; 2) whether recurring capital funding reductions were causing undue hardship for the schools; and 3) if the BOCC were able to restore some portion of the reduced funding before the end of FY 2002-03, what the priorities would be for County and school capital projects. Both school systems have responded with prioritized lists of possible capital funding restorations. While capital funding reductions have not generated undue hardships for the County, staff have prepared a brief paper outlining two projects that the Board might consider if it determines that some capital funding for 2002-03 can be restored.
