Discussion of Manager’s Recommended FY 2018-23 Capital Investment Plan <br />(CIP) <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Each year, the County produces a Capital Investment Plan (CIP) that establishes a budget- <br />planning guide related to capital needs for the County as well as Schools. The current CIP <br />consists of a 5-year plan that is evaluated annually to include year-to-year changes in <br />priorities, needs, and available resources. Approval of the CIP commits the County to the first <br />year funding only of the capital projects; all other years are used as a planning tool and serves <br />as a financial plan. <br /> <br />Capital Investment Plan – Overview <br />The FY 2018-23 CIP includes County Projects, School Projects, and Proprietary Projects. The <br />School Projects include Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools, Orange County Schools, and <br />Durham Technical Community College – Orange County Campus projects. The Proprietary <br />Projects include Water and Sewer, Solid Waste Enterprise Fund, and Sportsplex projects. <br /> <br />The CIP has been prepared anticipating moderate economic growth of approximately 2% in <br />property tax growth and 4% in sales tax growth annually over the next five years. Many of the <br />projects in the CIP will rely on debt financing to fund the projects.
