INFORMATION CONTACT:
Beverly Liles, Finance, Director, 704-283-3675
ACTION REQUESTED:
Adopt Capital Project Ordinance Amendments 352A and 366A
PRIOR BOARD ACTIONS:
1) Agenda Item 23-400, July 17, 2023, Adopted Capital Project Ordinance 352 for UCPS FY 2023-2024 Capital Funding
2) Agenda Item, July 15, 2024 Adopted Capital Project Ordinance 366 for UCPS FY 2024-2025 Capital Funding
BACKGROUND:
The capital program for Union County Public Schools includes projects for Marvin Ridge High School HVAC and Air Chiller that were previously appropriated with a portion being funded from the State Lottery Repair and Renovation Funds (R&R Funds) and a portion being funded from County dollars. The Lottery R&R funds are restricted and can only be spent on projects that meet the guidelines as outlined in the NC Department of Public Instructions Repair and Renovation Funds manual. The projects must be completed if the projects are construction related prior to the state releasing the Lottery R&R Funds to counties.
The attached capital project ordinance amendments will allow the County to track the lottery funding separately and to be reimbursed for capital cost from the state in a timelier fashion by utilizing the existing funds for the needs of UCPS new Voice Over IP (phone system) and Paging System. Union County Public Schools phone and paging systems are at end-of-life and must be replaced to provide reliable on demand communication services.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No additional funding is needed.
