Citizens' Facilities Advisory Committee to be Briefed on County's Financial Modeling

2/13/2008

Wake County's Citizens Facilities Advisory Committee (CFAC) will meet on Thursday, February 14, 2008, from 12 to 2 p.m., in the Ground Floor Conference Center at the Wake County Office Building, 337 South Salisbury Street, Raleigh. County Manager David Cooke and Wake County Budget and Management Services Director Johnna Rogers will present the County's financial models for the capital and operating budgets, major facilities fund, solid waste fund, and the fire tax.

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. The Committee is now engaged in learning about and reviewing Wake County’s other building programs that are outside the purview of school construction.
