The Orange County Commissioners will meet again tonight to settle on an FY10 budget (Complete agenda here). On tap are some final decisions on issues dominating previous meetings, including libraries and the Carrboro High School arts wing.
Based on comments at previous meetings, commissioners intend to keep all library branches open but to limit the number of hours the Hillsborough branch remains open (54 hours per week). According to tonight's background material, the cost of keeping all of the branches open under this plan is $1,567,542, almost $437,000 more than was originally recommended. Tonight, commissioners and staff will discuss a funding plan to cover increased costs.
Commissioners also committed to building the high school arts wing, though no money needs to budgeted in the upcoming fiscal year.
Also, solid waste convenience center hours will be discussed, as will various collection schedules. We'll have more tomorrow, and of course, more in next week's paper.
