Item IV - A
The County Manager requested that the Bd., at this time,
receive the requested Budget Amendment from Tom Ward,
Social Services Director. The $d. agreed to defer from the
Agenda for the purpose of hearing Mr. Ward's presentation.
The Finance Director, Neal Evans, filed with the Board
a Memorandum concerning the Social Services Budget Amendment
request.
Social Services Budget Amendment
" Attached is a Proposed Budget Amendment that would
transfer funds to cover the County Share of increased Chore
Services and several smaller items, Sales Tax, Health
Insurance, and Janitorial Service, as well as redistributing
or budgeting some previously approved items including the
personnel increase of Dec. 1, 1975, Child Support, Enforcement,
and Title XX Legal Aid and Chore Service Support.
l) The Personnel amendment of December 1 included only
a local cost of $7,500 assigned to salaries. The actual cost
including State Shares was $28,000 and this is distributed
among Personnel, Travel, Equipment, and Fringe Benefits with
the additional $20,500 coming from State Aid to Administration.
2) Chore Service had an original appropriation of
$47,242 on the Chore Service -line item, and $15,750 in Personnel.
It should all be budgeted together for a line item of $63.000.
Through January $47,634 had been encumbered. By April 1, the
en~ire appropriation will have been expended. This over expend-
iture.:has come about because more than the budget number of
Chore Workers have been employed at an average cost above the
above the budget estimates. To budget sufficient funds for the
remaining months at the average cost of December and January will
cost $36,750, and I have included this figure in the Proposed
Budget Amendment as requested by the Department Head, as well
as transferring the item $15,750 from the Personnel budget. I
would recommend, however, that only $11,000 be approved for
additional funding which would place the Department in the position
of providing Chore Service at the monthly level originally
approved. Chore Servie is an optional service and any increased
optional services offered by the County ought to be approved
only in the context of County wide responsibilities in the
budget process. The Budget Amendment doss include the full
amount with a matching revenue item (75~): in State Aid to
Administration since the match comes from this source rather
than a specific line item match. The net effect is that AFDC
Day Care and Medicaid reduction would fund the local share of
Chore Service.
3) Sales Tax, Health Insurance and Workmen's Compens-
ation for employees, and Janitorial Services were underbudgeted
and the County Share, approximately $1700, to meet these additions
is recommended to come from a re-appropriation of Medicaid Funds.
4) Support Enforcement is a redistribution of funds
previously appropriated on 12/11/75. The Personnel and Fringe
Benefits are reduced and redistributed to Professional Services
and Telephones which were not included in the original budget,
~~7
as well as establishing individual line items f or tha Fringe
Benefit accounts. The reduction in Personnel h osts is due t o
the lapsed funds since a secretary has not yet been hired. The
Professional Services account is established to provide nece s-
sary legal and administrative services yet to b e contracted.
5) Title XX appropriations and revenues p ravide formal
budgeting for the contractural arrangements alr eady made wit h
regard to Legal Aid and Chore Services operated by Joint
Orange-Chatham Community Action and Council on the Aging respect-
. ively.

Tom Ward, Social Services Director, stated that he and the
Finance Airector were of differing opinions concerning his proposed
Budget Amendment. Mr. VTard then reviewed his proposed Budget
348
Amendments and stated that the Title XX Services, the Legal Aid Pro-
gram, and the Chore Service Support were all optional programs that
the Board had funded within the 1975-1976 Social Services Budget.
He said that there was now approximately $60,000. of unused funds
available in the Aid to Families with Dependent Children Program and
in the Medical Assistance Program, and that he wished to utilize
these sources of funds for the continuation of the Chore Service
Program at its full level of service for the remainder of this
fiscal year.
Discussion ensued.
The Finance Director recommended that all spending relative to
the Chore Service Program be held to the originally appropriated
level for the remainder of the fiscal year. Further discussion
ensued concerning the priorities of the Social Services Department.
Commissio~r Walker moved that the Budget Amendment be approved.
This motion died for the lack of a second.
Further discussion ensued.
Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner
Whitted, it was moved and adapted that the Social Services Budget
Amendment request be deferred until the third Tuesday's meeting in
March.

C. Recommended procedure to expand the service area of the
South Orange Fire District.
D. Results of investigation regarding the extra territorial
Zoning Jurisdiction of the Town of Chapel Hill.

These items were deferred until the afternoon session.
Chairman Garrett referred to Item #5: The Chairman is submitting
far the Board's examination a possible Ordinance regulating the dis-
posal of trash in containers provided by Orange County.
Chairman Garrett stated that property owners had complained of
excess trash being left around the Green Box area which has led to
the necessity of some type of Ordinance to control this violation.
Discussion ensued concerning the uses of the Green Boxes and the
wording of the proposed Ordinance.
Action on this proposed Ordinance was deferred.
Chairman Garrett referred to Item #6 on the Agenda: Plats for
consideration:

Township on State Raad #1130. The plat was approved by the Planning
Board in November, 1974, however, the owner failed to record this
instrument. On February 16, 1976, the plat was resubmitted to the
Planning Board and received the endorsement of all Board Members at
that time. The plat effects the division of a larger tract into five

Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner __.
Walker, it was moved and adopted that the Lacy O. Wilkerson final
plat be approved.

State Road# 1574. The plat effects the division of a larger tract
into five lots each more than one acre in size. The Planning Board
gave its unanimous approval to this plat and two vax'iances:
349
(1) That a private road be allowed and (2) That the private road not
be required to meet minimum state standards.
Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner Whitted,
it was moved that the J. C. Garrett plat be approved.

Acres of New Hope Subdi~isian. The plat effects the division of a
15 acre parcel into three units of approximately five acres each.
The Planning Board unanimously approved this plat with a variance to
waive paving of 1,900 feet of Chyenne Drive because of the financial
hardship involved. The Planning Staff will provide additional details
of the problem this plat presents at the Commissioners meeting on
the first Monday in April.
Upon motion of Commissioner Gustaveson, seconded by Commissioner
Pinney, it was moved and adopted that action on this plat be deferred

6. Heritage Hills Section TV - This plat is a continuation of a

approximately 15,000 square feet in size each. The subdivision is

Planning Board referred this entire plat to the Carrboro Planning
Board. This changed plat has not been reviewed by the County Planning
Board.
Commissioner Walker moved far the approval of the Heritage Hills
Section IV plat. This motion died for lack of a second.
Discussion ensued concerning open space, walking paths, and adequ-
ate sewer service. Joe Hakan stated that an agreement between the
developer and the Town of Carrboro had been made provided the developer
repaired the pumping station. He stated that this area had been reserved
for sewer space.
Upon motion of Commissioner Whitted, seconded by Commissioner
Gustaveson, it was moved to approve the Heritage Hills Section TV plat

places where the public road had been closed and that water and sewer
be obtained; that the 3~ acres of open space as approved by Carrboro
be provided under the same condition as Carrboro recommended.

Resolution as sef forth in the minutes of the December 11, 1975 meeting.
These lots were obtained through tax foreclosure by the County and are
being conveyed to the Town of Carrboro.
Chairman Garrett referred to Item #18 on the Agenda: The County
Civil Preparedness Coordinator, Mr. Burch Compton, will review with
the Board of Commissioners the annual Program Paper of this agency.
Burch Compton presented a program paper designed to set forth
the County's Civil Preparedness Program for the coming year. The
principal aim of this document was to forecast the efforts this
agency will make to define the risk of radioactivity fallout which
county citizens will be exposed to and formulate a program to minimize
this risk.
Upon motion of Commissioner Whitted, seconded by Commissioner
Gustaveson, it was moved and adopted that the Chairman sign the
County's Civil Preparedness-Program for the coming year.
Chairman Garrett referred to Item #4 (D) - Results of the County
Attorney's investigation into procedures available to adjust boundaries
of the extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction of the Town of Chapel Hill.
Steve Bernholz, County Attorney, presented a Memorandum to the
Board concerning Chapel Hill Extraterritorial Zoning Jurisdiction.
"After reviewing Chapel Hill's new charter and other local and
general legislation, I am forced to conclude that, with the
exception of the Southern Triangle, Chape]~ Hill is not authorized
to expand its zoning jurisdiction without additional local legis-
lotion.
Chapel Hill made the current request under the providions of N.C.
Gen. Stat. 160A-360. The statutes is a general authorization for
cities of 25,000 or more to extend their zoning jurisdiction up _
to'three miles beyond their corporate limits by ordinance if the
Board of County Commissioners of the surrounding county consents
to the extension. However, subsection (h) of N.C. Gen. Stat. 160A-
360 limits the cities' authority to expand their zoning jurisdiction
by ordinance in that it forebids using N.C. Ge'n. Stat. 160A-360 to
amend or modify any local legislation which defines the boundaries
of a city's extraterritorial jurisdiction by metes and bounds.
If a city's extraterritorial zoning bondaries have been defined by
metes and bounds in local legislation, the effects of subsection (h)
is to require that before the city can extend its zoning jurisdiction
it must obtain additional local legislation amending the previous
local legislation either to expand the existing metes and bounds
description or to authorize the city to use the powers conferred by
N.C. Gen. Stat. 160A-360. This result is consistent with the obvious
3S1
intent of subsection (h) which is to prevent muncipalities from
using the general enabling provisions on N.C. Gen. Stat. 160A-360
to amend acts of the General Assembly by municipal ordinance.
Chapel Hill has consistently defined its extraterritorial zoning
jurisdiction by metes and bounds description in local legislation.
The most recent metes and bounds description is contained in Chapel
Hill's new Charter which the General Assembly enacted in 1975.
(1975 Session Laws, Chapter 473).
Section 5.9 of the Charter includes a metes and bounds description
of Chapel Hill's current zoning district and includes an addi-
tional provision that the town may extend its zoning jurisdiction
to include the Southern Triangle if the Gounty Commissioners agree
to the extension. In Section 5.9 of the Charter, the General
Assembly authorized the town to exercise its extraterritorial
zoning jurisdiction only in the area described by metes and bounds
in Section 5.9 of the Charter. The General Assembly did not
authorize the town do use N.C. Gen. Stat. 160A-3S0 to extend its
zoning jurisdiction. The only expansion of Chapel Hill's
zoning jurisdiction authorized by the General Assembly in the
Charter is the inclusion of the Southern Triangle subject to the
approval of the Gounty Commissioners. Any other expansion of
Chapel Hill's zoning jurisdiction, including an expansion to the
North, must be authorized by the General Assembly.
Since Chapel Hill used local legislation to define its extra-
territorial zoning jurisdiction by a metes and bounds description
without concurrent legislative authorization to use N. C. Gen.
Stat. 160A-360, the Town has no authority to request an expansion
of its zoning jurisdiction except into the Southern Triangle."
Upon motion of Commissioner Whitted, seconded by Commissioner
Walker, .it was moved and adopted that Chapel Hill authorities be
notified that the County Board of Commissioners feel they have no
authority to comply with the request of Chapel Hill to expand its
zoning jurisdiction except into the Southern Triangle.
The County Attorney was requested to prepare such a reply to the
Chapel Hill request.
The Chairman referred to Item #10 on the Agenda: The County
Manager be directed to immediately begin discussion with the Town
of Chapel.Hill concerning a Joint Animal Shelter. The Board re-
quested that the County Manager report of these negotiations by the
first Monday of April. It is.contemplated the report should include
such items as site alternatives, possible cost, sharing arrangements
and major operational features. This report should be developed in
order that the Board of Commissioners might have the information
necessary to base a decision on the question of a joint animal pound.
Commissioner Whitted moved that the County Manager be so directed
and Commissioner Gustaveson seconded the motion.
Chairman Garrett called for the vote.
Voting aye were Commissioners Garrett; Gustaveson, and Whitted.
Voting nay we're Commissioners Finney and Walker.
The Chairman (declared the motion passed.
The Chairman referred to Item #13 on the Agenda: The County Manager
recommends acceptance of the bids of Ray Motor Company for five (5) 1976
Ford Automobilies.
The County Manager referred the Board to the Results of the call
for Bids for Police Cars. The following bids were received:
"Bids for five police vehicles were received and opened at 10:00 a.m.
on February 20th. The proposal enumerated below were received:
Net
Company Vehicle Frice Sales Tax Total Trade In To County
Ray Motors $25,491.70 $509.85 $26,OO1.S5 $6,600.00 $19,401.55
University Ford 24,726.50 494.50 25,221.00 4,800.00 20,421.00
Yates Motors 25,000.00 500.00 25,500.00 3,900.00 21,600.00
352
RECOMMENDATION
The low bid from Ray Motor Company be accepted.
The current budget carries an appropriation of $19,000 for these
vehicles. Since sales tax ($509.85) is appropriated separately
in our budget (and will eventually be refunded to the County)
only $18,891.70 will be charged against the $19,000 appropriation.
Last month in a memorandum concerning automobile bids I mentioned
the possibility of transferring one vehicle earmarked for trade to
the Recreation Department. I based this statement upon (1) their
need for an automobile and (2) the possibility that within this
$19,000 appropriation there might be sufficient funds to retain
an additional vehicle. This is not the case. To retain one of
these vehicles would require an additional appropriation of approxi-
mately $1,000. While the need for a vehicle assigned to the Rec-
reation Department still exists I feel we should consider this in
the budget next spring and not at this time.
Upon motion of Commissioner Gustaveson, seconded by Commissioner
Walker, it was moved and adopted that the bid submitted by Ray Motor
Company be accepted.
Chairman Garrett referred to Item #12 on the Agenda: Audit Con-
tract for 1975-1976 Fiscal Xear.
The firm of Peat, Marovich, Mitchell and Associates has previously
submitted a proposal to perform the annual audit of Orange County
records. Some dissatifaction with the proposed fee for this work was
registered by some members of the Board. The Audit Committee was
directed to review this aspect of the firms proposal. Commissioner
Whitted has reviewed the fee with the audit firm and secured a new
proposal with a fee of $15,750.
Upon motion of Commissioner Whitted, seconded by Commissioner Walker,
it was moved and adopted to accept the contract submitted from Peat,
Marwick, Mitchell and Associates.
Ttem #16 was the next item for discussion: The New Hope Volunteer
Fire Department is requesting the Board of Gounty Commissioners ask the .-
North Carolina Department of Transportation pave an access road to their
new station across from New Hope Church.
The Chairman referred to a letter from Jahn L. Kline,.of the New
Hope Volunteer Fire Department, stating this request.
Upon motion of Commissioner Walker seconded by Commissioner Whitted,
it was moved. and adopted to request the Department of Transportation to
pave the access. road to the New Hope Volunteer Fire Department Substation.
A1x's. Garnett referred to Item #19 on the Agenda: A Resolution
honoring Mr. Quentin Patterson for many years the District Soil Con-
servation Agent for Orange~:Co.unty. Mr. Patterson retired on
February 27, 1976.
