Citizens Facility Advisory Committee to Look at County Building Programs

1/28/2008

Wake County's Citizens Facilities Advisory Committee (CFAC) will meet on Tuesday, January 29, 2008, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Ground Floor Conference Center in the Wake County Office Building, 337 South Salisbury Street, Raleigh. The CFAC will discuss the importance of infrastructure and capital planning, and how Wake County identifies and implements capital improvement plan priorities.

The CFAC was established by Wake County Commissioners and the Wake County Board of Education in 2006 to independently evaluate Wake County capital improvement programs and Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) design criteria, construction management and delivery methods. The committee is composed of business and community leaders with expertise in corporate leadership, architecture and engineering, financial management and public administration.

The 13-member committee began its work by evaluating WCPSS construction programs. In September 2007, the CFAC presented the School Facilities Report outlining recommendations for improving the WCPPS building program. This meeting marks the beginning of the committee’s second phase of work in which it will begin to review the other components of Wake County’s building program.
