Item Summary:

This is the second step in the process to place two separate referendums (General Obligation Bonds for Wake Technical Community College for $40,000,000 and Open Space for $26,000,000) on the November 2004 ballot. At the July 12, 2004 Board of Commissioners meeting, the Board approved the filing of an application with the Local Government Commission, which was done on July 13, 2004.  At this meeting the Board is being asked to receive the Bond Orders for the above referendums, schedule a public hearing to allow public to comment on the bond orders on August 16, 2004 and authorize publication of the public hearing. 

 

Both the $40,000,000 for Wake Technical Community College and the $26,000,000 for Open Space have been included in the County’s multi-year CIP / Debt Service models and can be financed without a tax increase for debt service.

 

On the August 16, 2004 agenda the Board will be asked to hold a public hearing and approve the bond orders.
