15 Total estimatetl mnslruction mats over 3D years for Orange county School District Is • therefore $128,981,280. Total estimated construction costs over 3D years for Chapel HilVCartboro School Clstricl is therefore $ $210,512.4D5. Total estimatetl cpnsVUCtipn costs over 30 years tp meal educational facility neetls Is • therefore $338,4fi3,fi88. Furtnec the County Is facing siAnificant construction neetls of its awn through its statutorily requiretl support of marl system facilities. Preliminary estimates equate the cost of the jutlicial fecllties (without tall mnslmIXlon) wtth those of a new elemenbry schml. TM1IS bongs the total potential 30-year mnsVUC[ipn outlay for edumtion antl lutlicial tacilitles tq approdmalely $ 352,249.1]0. Pro)ecteb costs of this magnXUtle create a cpnsitlereble challenge to ensure [hat mnstmelgn antl major renovation projects funtletl by [M1e County are propetly tlesignetl fo meet born County antl School neetls within available resources. In additbn, with the advent of the School Adequate Punllc Facilities ONinance (SAPFO), now in sevalopmenp the Flsral issues will demand greater allentlon. As you may know, 0e SAPFO will, among other IMngs: Define a level of service rapacity, wnicn each new school will be expected to meet For ample, If'X' number of units are approves for tlevelopment within the County.

Apoten4al solution: This look to the hoemn tells us Nat the limitetl package of funding resourwe available to suppod mnst>uctign initiatives will no[be suRCient to meet tlemantl without very rareful planning. Rather than to Immediately raise Vie tootling bat ens polentlally the tax rate, it is prutlent to mnsiaer cost eRtlency measures Oat will provitle functionally excellent facilities et a manageable cost.
