Agenda Item 5: Community School for People Under Six
Mr. Michael Woodard, Early Educator, and parent of a cl'iild enrolled
in the school, expressed his appreciation for the Commissioners support
of the school in the past and his hope of their support in the future.
' Ms. Janet Clements, representing Orange County Day Care Coalition,
urged the Board to include Community SchooT~for People Under Six in the
plans for new or renovated buildings at the Northside School site.
Mrs. Deanna Bullard, Orange County Department of Social Services,
urged the Commissioners to give consideration to space for the Community
School for People Under Six in the plan for uses of the Northside building.
Ms. Bev Mulvihill, representing Chapel Hill-Carrboro Day Care Service
Agency, urged the Board to consider providing space for the school's
operation while renovation of the building is in process.
Ms. Carolyn Lumpkin, parent, expressed thanks to the Commissioners for
their support of day care and urged their support in the future.
Chairman Whitted explained to persons pr-went that the Board was
not in a position to make a commitment about space for the Community School
for People Under Six at the present time.
Commissioner Willhoit said, I heard from someone that they had
heard that if the bond package passed that we (the Board of Commissioners)
were planning to renovate the (Northside) building and that there would not -
be a space (for the Community School for People Under Six), and I know that
(issue) has never been discussed by this Board. I think it is important that we
come out at a time when the existence of the day care center appeared to be
threatened and we did affirm the Board's previous stance on day care -
that it (the Board) was making a commitment to day care and playing a
very large role in the human and social services needs of the community.
As I said, it has not been discussed that this service would not be
provided - - it just has not been discussed. We are providing additional
space for County facilities and I would think that the chances are very
good that it would continue We have already made a commitment of
funds to provide the renovation for the Community School there (at Northside)
to meet the (building and safety) codes and that seems to me to speak to
the commitment of this Board to that purpose."
Chairman Whitted explained the Board would be in a better position
to make a commitment concerning the best utilization of space at the Northside
site after it knew the results of the vote on the upcoming bond referendum.
Agenda Item 6: JOCCA

presentation concerning Land Use Planning Goals and Policy Questions.

goals be supplemental to planning documents already adopted. Motion died for
lack of a second.

change its classification of roads #1313, €1314, and #1315 from
subdivision streets to rural roads so that these roads would. 6e
eligible for paving. He explained the renovation of Efland-Cheeks
School has increased the traffic, especially on #1315 which runs

said the right-of-ways were overgrown to the point that visibility of

FROM: Stewart L. Roger', CETA Director
SUBJECT: JOCCA's Request for Additional Funds
,.DATE: October 5, 1979
I have reviewed JOCCA°s proposal for a "Employment and
Training Opportunities Program."
I understand that JOCCA is in the process of soliciting
CETA and possibly other fiords from the State for the proposal.
From my initial reading it appears that the project would
provide valuable community benefits as well as additional employ-
ment and training opportunities for unemployed and disadvantaged
citizens.
Since JOCCA is attempting to secure discretionary CETA funds,
I do not believe the County's support of the proposal would
jeapordize direct CETA funding which we are receiving or might
receive.
Our local CETA program has provided support for JOCCA
weatherization for some time; but, as you !mow, we do not
have funds to expand this support at this time, If the State
will grant additional funds for JOCCA's proposal, State officials
will have the option of contracting directly with JOCCA or con-
tracting with Orange County for sub-contract to JOCCA.
I will keep you informed of any new developments. If I can
be of further assistance, please contact me.
