The Chairman referred to Item 4: Representatives of the Orange County Medical Foundation will request the Orange County Board of Commissioners make a contribution to assist this organization in its efforts to construct a medical facility. Chairman Garrett recognized Moreland Claytor, Rev. William Richardson, Edmund Latta, Clarence Jones, Rev. Charles Hackett and Quentin Patterson, members of the Orange County Medical Foundation's Board. Rev. Charles Hackett spoke of the advantages of the family medical practice plan and stated that the plan deserved the support of the County. Quentin Patterson stated that the Medical Foundation will be for use by all citizens of Orange County and not just for the citizens of Northern Orange. Rev. Richardson spoke of the urgent need for the medical facility. Clarence Jones, Chairman of the Fund Raising Campaign, stated that the need in Orange County for medical facilities was great. He spoke of the problems that the Medical Foundation Board had encountered and stated that now there seemed to be a glimmer of hope. The Berard felt the people of the area were behind them. Mr. Jones reminded the Board of the donation the Town of Hillsborough had made to the Foundation, and stated that he appealed to the Commissioners as representatives who handled the tax funds of everyone in Orange County, including those who live in Chapel Hill. Mr. Jones requested of the Board of Commis- sioners a donation of between $10,000 and $15,000. He stated if the Foundation could receive this amount, they would be on firm ground to let the contract and the Foundation would be in business within twelve months. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that he had a concern regarding the County subsidizing such kinds of private populations. He stated that from discussion all the objectives, in term of defining the concerns for health care, really evolved around the Foundation's operation of the building, that the actual delivery of these services was not a part of the .responsibility of the Foundation, but was the traditional fee for service as programmed. He stated that his concern from a governmental viewpoint was that we have a multiplicity of kinds of needs when it comes to health care. He asked as a Foundation, are you open to have a multiplicity of kinds of health care? Not only a fee for service health care, but perhaps a clinic which Orange-Chatham Comprehensive Health Service might operate, or District Health Service. So that we might have within one health center, not only a fee for service, but also a comprehensive health care for low income persons. Discussion ensued. The Board members stated that they were not in a position to answer Commissioner Gustaveson's question, that this would have to be an agreement to be worked out with physicians practic- ing within the clinic, unless these were services provided through medi- care or medicaid. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that public officials must be con- cerned about the multiplicity of the systems of the delivery of health care. He stated "We have got to make sure that as we make decisions now, about a particular kind of health agency, that it will fit in and compliment other kinds of delivery systems." Commissioner Walker stated that he would be in favor of giving the Foundation a $10,000 donation and that he felt the Board should be a part of the Foundation by helping get the Foundation "off the ground." Further discussion. ensued. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that he was concerned about not putting County money into something that might close the door to a much broader comprehensive health plan in northern Orange. Chairman Garrett stated that she felt Mr. Gustaveson's question was a legitimate one and a question that she had asked many times,, however, no one has been able to answer. Commissioner Pinney stated that a question in his mind was if a dona- ~ion from the County would be legal. Commissioner Whitted stated that questions he was concerned with were: 1. Is it legal, 2. De we have the non-taxed funds to do it, and 3. If the answer to Commissioner Gustaveson's question is in the affirmative, can we work out an arrangement, not only with Orange- Chatham Comprehensive Health, but with the District Health Department in supplying health services. He stated that whether or not this is legal needs to be clarified first. Further discussion ensued concerning using County funds to finance a private facility. Commissioner Pinney moved that this matter be referred to the County Attorney to answer these basic questions and report back to the Board an the first Monday in October. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Whitted. The Chairman called for the vote on the motion and all members of the Board voted aye. The motion was declared passed. Commissioner Whitted explained that one area that he wished the County Attorney would explore was the possibility of using the Medical Foundation by the Sheriff's Department for examination of prisoners. He stated that if the County invested $10,000 in the Foundation, he felt it reasonable to expect service for the Sheriff's Department. The County Attorney asked the Board of Commissioners specific concerns they would like him to explore regarding public health delivery system. He stated that the motion passed was that the County Attorney was to explore with Attorney Dalton Loftin the possibility of there being accomodations within the Medical Foundation (physical facilities) comprehensive public health delivery systems. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that to summarize, would the Foundation encourage or possibly have a multiplicity of delivery systems within the Foundation. For instance, a clinic operated by one of the hospitals to provide training opportunities for interns, or some new, yet unthought of arrangement. He stated that another concern was to have some assurances from the Foundation Board that this would be part of the conditions for having a practice .in the Hillsborough area. Chairman Garrett referred to Item 5: The Manager recommends the Board of Commissioners accept the recommendation of the Orange County Emergency Medical Council, that the County execute a contract with Motorola for the purchase of radio equipment necessary to::implement an emergency communications system, and authorize the Chairman to execute the contracts necessary to implement this purchase. The Chairman recognized William H. Heriford, President of Orange County Emergency Medical Services. Mr. Heriford stated that what is being presented to the Board is a proposal for implementation of develop- ing the most comprehensive and clearly illustrated emergency medical communication system in the County. He stated that basically, the system provided single access far emergency communication, provides the central dispatch and the capability for pass-off dispatch, provides for the emergency medical services. Mr. Heriford introduced Dick Beauchaine, Tom Gardner and Dr. Tvm Griggs, of the Emergency Medical Services Council, who reviewed with the Board the proposal. A question and answer period ensued concerning the radio equip- ment. Commissioner Pinney questioned the use of microwave equipment verus telephone lines. Discussion ensued. The Board was informed that the Emergency Medical Services had sought the advise of a consultant from Greensboro who did have experi- ence with microwave equipment, as well as others throughout the area who also had microwave experience, and all agreed that microwave was reliable. _. Commissioner Pinney inquired about the $6,000 difference between the recommend budget of $172,064.60 and the other budget of $178,000. He asked what the $6,000 would be used for and could this $6,000 be applied to the County's share for the first year to make the County's share $16,000 instead of the $21,949.80. Mr. Heriford stated that this was a possibility, however, this $6,000 could be needed for salaries. Mr. Beauchaine stated that he would like to look at the project as a whole before definitely placing the $5,000. Further discussion ensued. Upon motion of Commissioner Gustaveson, seconded by Commissioner Pinney, it was moved and adopted that the Board approve COJEMS recom- mended proposal. The Chairman was authorized to execute the Contract: The Finance Director was also authorized to prepare the necessary budget amendment for the proposal and to bring to the next Board's meeting. (Fox copy of COJEMS Budget Amendment see Minute Docket Book Page ) The Chairman referred to Item 6: Mr. Lloyd Osterman, Regional Librarian, will review a proposal that will increase the basic State grant to the Hyconeechee Regional Library by $7,500. Mrs. Garrett recognized Sandy Davison and Cecil Sanford from the Orange County Library Board. Mr. Davison stated that Mr. Osterman's letter fully explained the Board's request that an additional $1,100 be appropriated for support of the County Library for fiscal year 1976- 1977. In preparing the Regional Application for State Aid to Public Libraries, it was noted that we are within $.032 per capita of earning an additional $2,500 per county from the Regional grant. Thus, an additional $1,1.00 per county earns each county $2,500 more in State aid as we move from the $1.25 capita bracket to the $1.50 per capita bracket. Commissioner Pinney moved that $1,100 be taken from the Contingency Fund and appropriated to the Orange County Library, and that the Finance Director prepare the proper budget amendment. Commissioner Gustaveson seconded the motion. All members of the Board voted aye and the motion was declared passed. (Far copy of Budget Amendment see Minute Book Page ). Item 8A on the Agenda: One vacancy exists on the Orange County Library Board. The Board has recommended Ms..Katherine Seelye to this vacancy. Upon motion of Commissioner Gustaveson, seconded by Commissioner Pinney, it was moved and adopted that Katherine Seelye 'be appointed to fill the unexpired term of Mrs. E. M. Lockhart to the Orange County Library. Chairman Garrett referred to Item 7: Mrs. Sophia Martin will re- quest an appropriation of $2,000 for start-up funds to assist in develop- ing a Meals on Wheels Program in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro area. Mrs. Martin informed the Board that the requested funds were to get the program started. To date, there are nine churches which have contributed, as well as individuals and businesses. These donations will be used primarily for operating expenses, including the salary of a part-time coordinator, and for administrative costs. They will also provide meals for those who can pay only a little, or nothing toward the cost of their meals. What is needed now is funds for initial expenses and certain opera- ting casts which will be greater during the first few weeks than after the program is established. Mrs. Martin stated that she was requesting start-up funds of $2,000 to meet an important need in the community of Chapel Hill and Carrboro. She stated that this need was not provided by any other agency, and by contributing to the alleviation of malnutrition among individuals who are shut-ins and, far physical reasons, are unable to prepare adequate food 'for themselves. - ~~ ~~ r - ORANGE COU~~TY J„~~~r- (~C',,y~l~J _ n ~j ~/ ?~- °~ • 1970'77 BUDGET ORDIP~A~.CE ~j'.~'' `~ ~~ X ~~ ~ ~ r`~ , - Ah1ENDttENT ~~ ~ :re 1976-77 BudSzt Ordinance of Orange County as adopted on June 24, 1976, - any s;;asequently a„~n~4d, is hereby amended as follows: • ~ne;ye the approrriztion for the fo1lo~~ing line items in the funds indicated: INCREASE TO TOTAL Fll~i7 -- ITEf•1 (DECREASE) ~~~ General: aries-H coneechee 1,100 43,64N • / Libr y Contingency (1,100) 158,E+71f Changa tha revenues and fund balances estimated to be available to meet thz fora^,oing appropriations 1n the funds indicated: INCREASE FU?.D -- RESOURCE- (DECREAS4 TO TOTAL i - i~.sopted this th? 21st day of .September, 1976 _ ,-~ -, . r.: Discussion ensued. Commissioner Gustaveson inquired about the coordination of meal sites with those provided by the County. Mrs. Martin stated that there was na dther program to feed the chron~,cally ill, shut-in population. She stated to go into the .County would restrict the operation of the program. Further discussion ensued. Commissioner Pinney moved that $2,000 be taken from the Contingency Fund and appropriate $2,000 to the Meals on Wheels Program for Chapel Hi11-Carrboro area, and that the Finance Director be authorized to pre- pare a budget amendment for this appropriation. Commissioner whitted seconded this motion. -- Discussion ensued. Commissioner Walker pointed out the similar° ities between this request of Mrs. Martin and the request received . from the Orange County Medical Foundation. He requested that the County Attorney investigate the legality of the request. Commissioner Walker moved that the Board table this request until the first Monday's meeting. The motion died for lack of a second. Further discussion ensued and Commissioner Gustaveson stated that he could foresee many requests coming before the Board for start-up funds for many good programs. He stated what he felt was needed for the Commissioners was a preliminary body that could receive such re- quests and assess the requests in light of the entire county's needs to determine the priorities. Commissioner Pinney called for the question. All members of the Board voted aye and the motion was declared passed. (For copy of Budget Amendment for the Meals on Wheels Program for Chapel Hill-Carrboro area, see Minute Book, Page .) Item 8b: One vacancy exist (Mrs. Arzelia McAdoe has resigned) on the Health Systems Agencies Board of Directors. The Clerk was requested to write a letter to Mrs. McAdoo confirm- ing her resignation to the Health System Agencies Board of Directors and also to forward a letter to the Health Systems Agency's Nominating Committee, informing them of Mrs. McAdoo resignation. This will be an agenda item for the first Monday's Meeting. Mrs. Garrett recognized Paul Alston of the Orange-Chatham Compre- hensive Health Agency. Mr. Alston stated that he was present to speak to the Board about the continuance of the WIC Program. He reminded the Board that last March, the County. Commissioners endorsed a switchover from Supplement Food Program to the Women-Infants-Children program by Orange-Chatham Comprehensive Health Services. The program was begun in July and that there are now 333 people on the WIC program. Through a Court action Orange-Chatham Comprehensive Health Agency was being force to switch back to the Supplement Food Program because of certain allegations stating the the WIC program was inefficient and wasteful. Mr. Alston' stated that the WIC program was a much better program and that Orange Chatham Comprehensive Health Services wished to remain an this program. Commissioner Gustaveson moved that the Chairman sign the affidavit to continue the WIC program. Commissioner Finney seconded the motion. The Chairman called for the vote on the motion and all members of the Board voted aye. The motion was declared passed.

BU"fZ et al, Defendants WAKE COUNTY NORTH CAROLIfdA AFFIpAVIT I, Flora Garrett, of Orange County, North Carolina being duly sworn, depose and say: 1. I am the duly elected chairman of the Board of Commissioners of Orange County which is the governing body of Orange County. 2. That on March 9, 1976 the Orange County Board of Commissioners endorsed a switchover from SFP to WIC by Orange-Chatham Comprehensive Health Services, Inc., the operating agency in this County.. 3. That this approval was given because this Board was informed and therefore believes that the WIC program is the best available program for providing services to lactating mothers and to needy infants and children. 4. That the switchover from SFP to WIC in Orange County was effective on July 7, 1976. That the Board of Commissioners feels it is wasteful, inefficient and would result in a net loss of services to the target popu- lace to require a change back to SFP after only a brief operation of the WIC program. 5. That Orange-Chatham Comprehensive Health Services, which operates the program, is doing so in an effective manner and is adequately serving the target population. 6. That the Board has been informed of the judicial order which man- dates this change and the events which gave rise to that litigation; that the Board feels that the implementation of the order, would in this parti- cular case, work a hardship~on needy mothers and children in this county and would negatively affect the effectuation of. the purposes of the child. nutrition legislation. 7. That this Board desires the WIC program to continue operating in this County. . 8. That the Board of Commissioners meeting on September 21, 197fi reaffirmed its endorsEment of and commitment to the WIC program. /S/ Flora Garrett FLORA GARRETT, Chairman Item 9: The.

Item 10: The Manager recommends the Board of Commissioners approve a contract with Cavins Inc., for the purchase of a document camera. Agenda Attachment #5 stated 'that at 2:00 p.m., September 3, 1976, duly advertised sealed bids were received for a Rotary Documents Camera for - use.in the Register of Deeds Office. The bids received were as follows: Cavins, Inc. Raleigh, N. C. $4,165.00 Eastman~Kodak Co. , Atlanta, Ga. 7,271.20 Cavins, Inc., bid a machine 3M #3400BE which is now an hand in the Register's Office, under a temporary rental arrangement, and offered an additional consideration of $672.44 ar 85~ of rent since July 1, 1976.

Item 11: The Manager recommends approval of a contract for legal service for the Department of Social Services, with the firm of Winston- . Coleman and Bernholz. The agenda attachment concerning this item stated that at present the County Social Services Agency receives necessary legal services from the County Attorney under the pravisien.of a contract that covers all County agencies. The State Department of Human Resources has recently implemented a regulation that will allow the County to claim as a reimburseable cost legal services for their agencies, if separate contracts for these ser- vices exists. The proposed agreement is similiar to the present contract with the County Attorney, the principle difference being that the Orange County Department of Social Services is named as the recipient of the Service offered. Execution of this document will allow Orange County to take advantage of the new reimbursement policy. Commissioner Pinney moved that'. the Contract be approved. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Whitted. Discussion ensued regarding the changing of the wording in certain areas of the contract.

The Commissioners will also at this time meet with qualified technical people regarding the proposed zoning amendments. A public hearing is scheduled for Monday evening, October 4, 1976, at the Hillsborough Town Hall regarding the 201 Study.
