8 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2008 Town sees less sales tax, must reduce spending BY KATY DOLL SENIOR WRITER Consumers aren’t the only ones cutting costs as local government makes moves to trim its budgets. “What I’ve done is asked each department to give me a plan for how they might reduce their bud get expenditures,” Chapel Hill Town Manager Roger Stancil said, adding that he is compiling a town plan from this input. Stancil will give an update on the town’s budget at tonight’s Chapel Hill Town Council meet ing, presenting more specifics on what needs to be cut and what can be cut. He announced Nov. 10 that the town expects to receive $1 million less from sales tax for which they originally budgeted and will try to cut $2.5 million.

By law, municipal budgets must be balanced and can not go into debt like the national budget can. Thus far, Stancil said, the town will review all vacant positions, cut any out-of-state travel and buy only critical purchases. “We want to manage our bud get in a way that we realize we are also spenders in the economy,” he said. “We don’t want to contribute to panic or a declining situation because we stopped spending.” Carrboro also budgets with sales tax in mind, but to this point they have not made any specific cuts, Assistant Town Manager Bing Roenigk said. “We’re reviewing our capital expenditures and reviewing all vacant positions before hiring,” she said. “We’re maintaining a watchful eye at this point.” One of the problems with the Place a Classified: www.dailytarheel.com/classifieds or Call 919-962-0252 Child Care Wanted SEEKING GREAT BABY SITTER FOR TODDLER & NEWBORN.

Roenigk also noted that because budgets run from July 1 to June 30, there are only a few months on which to base their assessment. Capital projects are one of the largest components of a budget, so they are a logical place to save, she said. For Chapel Hill, the largest capital project on the horizon is the Chapel Hill Public Library expansion, which will come before the council again Dec. 8, Stancil said. “Again, we want to be really thoughtful about what we do,” Stancil said. “We can defer any thing, but then we’re not solving a problem, just deferring it.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

The town faced controversy when they approved leasing the lot to Ram Development for $1 per year for 99 years. Lot 5 currently offers 169 spots, 66 of which are privately leased. “It will be an inconvenience, but the town is planning to provide additional spaces elsewhere,” said Catherine Lazorko, Chapel Hill public information officer.

Craig in the West End would provide for most of the parking spots that Lot 5 offers. “There are actually going to be more parking spots available to the public than there are now,” said Meg McGurk, assistant direc tor of the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership. McGurk said the Partnership’s goal is to notify employers, cus tomers and visitors of the plans. The replacement parking spots are expected to be open by Jan. 1, even though construction on 140 West is expected to begin in early spring. Richard Rich, who conducted Chapel Hill’s downtown parking study, said the town “will be fine,” if it follows through with its plans. In the study, Rich suggested a shuttle system to transport people from spots that are farther away. “It’s going to have an impact on those who are used to parking there, so they’re going to have to inform them on what the alterna tives are,” Rich said.
