Whitted, Chairman Agatha Johnson, Clerk ORNAGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS APRIL 19, 1977 The Orange County Board of Commissioners met in regular session on Tuesday, April 19, 1977, at 7:30 p.m., in the Commissioners' Room of the Courthouse in Hillsborough. Members present were Chairman Richard Whitted, Commissioners Norman Gustaveson, Jan Pinney, Norman Walker and Donald Willhoit. Others present were S. M. Gattis, County Manager, Jeffrey Gledhill, County Attorney, and Agatha Johnson, Clerk. The Chairman referred to Item 1 on the Agenda: Persons not on this agenda having business to transact with the Board of Commissioner should make their presence known. Mrs. Charles King of the Colonial Hills Subdivision stated that she was present to bring to the Board's attention the petitions which were filed with the County Manager last November for the paving of roads in the Colonial Hills Subdivision under the owner participation program. The. Chairman informed Mrs. King that the petitions which were pre- sented last November would be reviewed and if the Board decided to accept this area of road for paving under the participation program, a formal petition would be prepared by the County Attorney. The Board of Commis- sioners will not know what roads will be paved during the next fiscal year until the 1977-7$ budget is completed. The Chairman informed Mrs. King that the Board would ba in contact regarding the petitions. Mrs. Stewart Barbour stated that she was present to bring two re- wuests to the Board. (1) Would the County Commissioners be willing to publish a list of official committees, time and place of meetings, so that interested citizens might be able to attend these meetings. (2) Mrs. Barbour requested that a listing of all weekly meetings be published in the local newspaper. Another question Mrs. Barbour raised was what arrangements have the County Commissioners made with the State Parts personnel-with regard to the cast of fire fighting in the Eno River State Park, or are citizens in Rno Township expected to bear the cost of all fires fought in the State Park area? The Chairman informed Mrs. Barbour that the County has not formally drawn any agreements with the State .in respect to the State Park on the Eno River. Mr. Whitted stated that the Secretary to the Board would prepare a list of meetings and post on the bulletin Board each week. This list will also be published in the local newspaper, however, this Board -... has nothing to do with the meetings scheduled by the RC&D Committee. Mrs. Barbour asked if the new detention building which had been proposed was in the realm of the County or the Town. Chairman Whitted stated that this issue was under the jurisdiction of the Town of Hillsborough. Mr. Mike Brough, Attorney, stated that he was present representing Raymond Williams' rezoning request. He asked that this request be added to the agenda. The County Manager informed the~Board that Mr. Gledhill, County Attorney, was prepared to speak to this request. Item 12, which should be added to the agenda, is in regard to the sell of license for palmistry. Commissioner Walker asked that Itme 13, discussion of a letter to be sent to the Local Government Commission, be added to the agenda. Commissioner Gustaveson asked that Item 14 be added to the agenda which will pertain to energy in Orange County. Item 2: Minutes of the Board Meetings held April 4th and 6th are submitted for the Board's consideration. The Chairman referred to the April 4th minutes, and pointed out certain corrections. Approval of the April 4th minutes were deferred until one area could be verified by members of the.Pla~ning Staff. The April 6, 1977 minutes were reviewed and upon motion of Commis- sioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner Whitted, it was moved and adopted that the April 6, 1977 minutes be approved. Chairman Whitted referred to Item G: Louis Bereni, Airector of the Durham Office of the Employment Security Commission, will discuss the possibilities of acquiring office space in the Hillsborough area. The Chairman recognized Mr. Bereni. Mr. Bereni stated that he was present to inform the Board of a problem his office was encountering in the implementation of a Work Incentive Program in Hillsborough. The Work Incentive Program is a national program which was passed by Congress in 1973. Orange County has had a full-time staff member working half of his time in Chapel Hill and half in Hillsborough. He stated that the purpose of the program is to move welfare recipients from the status of receiving welfare benefits to the status of full employment and economic independence. Mr. Bereni stated that his office had been somewhat hampered in the implementation of this program in the Hillsborough area due to a lack of adequate space. He said that presently his staff member was working out of the Social Services Office, however, he would have to move effective May 1, 1977. He stated that in order for his office to perform its function it would have to have adequate space. He was appealing to the Board for assistance in finding this space. The County Manager stated that there was no available County owned space, however, there was same office space available in the area. Mr. Bereni stated that he had located some office space which is on the second floor of the Sharpe Building in Hillsborough. The cost of ass renting this space is $115 per month with all utilities fuznished. This space will be used two or three days a week as the economics of the Hillsborough area does not justify a full-time office. Discussion ensued. It was stated that a lease agreement was not required for rent of the Sharpe Building. Commissioner Gustaveson stated with time, the Board should be able to work out a suitable office space, and that he would have no objection to a temporary arrangement. Mr. Whitted asked the Board's feelings about renting the Sharpe Building on a temporary arrangement until something else could be worked out. The consensus of the Board was that this arrangement would be agree- able. Upon motion of Commissioner Gustaveson, seconded by Commissioner Willhoit, it was moved and adopted to enter into an agreement to rent the Sharps Building for the months of May and June, 1977, as office space for the Employment Security Commission, and that these monies be taken from the Contingency Fund. The-County Manager was instructed to make the arrangements with the realtor to rent this space. Chairman Whitted referred to Item 9: A proposal from the Recreation Department staff or a $500 appropriation to support a summer youth theatre program in Chapel Hi11. Chairman Whitted recognized Kenneth Howard, President of the Community Youth Theatre and Eddie Bowland of the County Recreation Department. Mr. Howard stated that tihis was a request for an organization which had been incorporated in Chapel Hill to provide theatre experience for yound people of less than high school age during the summer months. The focus of the program will be county-wide although based in Chapel Hill. The Chapel Hill Cultural Arts Center will be used for the program. Mr. Howard stated that the operational cost for the summer amounted to approxi- mately $7,000. Of this, $1,290 will be absorbed by the Chapel Hill City Schools. This will leave a gap of about $6,000 in resources. The Community Theatre is attemptin to obtain this $6,OOp through appropriations from the County, the Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro and from the N. C. Arts Council. He stated that the $500 request as shown on the agenda could be worked out, however, the long range problem was theneed for $2,000 from each of the three local governments. He added that this money would be needed by July 1, 1977. Eddie Bowland stated that one way to coordinate this program would be through the Recreation Department's budget, or through two different grants which have been applied for. Discussion ensued. Commissioner Walker asked if this request of money would go to this non-profit organization or to the Recreation Department. Mr. Bowland stated that the money from the Arts Council would come directly to the Finance Office and would be dispersed through the office to the Theatre Group and would be open to children throughout the County. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that this money would be appropriated to the Recreation Department as start up cost for this program, Mr. Howard stated that the money could come directly to the Theatre Group, and that the County could appropriate money either directly to the Theatre Group or through the Recreation Department. He stated further that if the Commissioners supported the idea of a Community Youth Theatre, his group would continue to work with the knowledge that once the budget . is in order, they can expect some financial support. Chairman Whitted stated that the majority opinion is that the Community Youth Theatre should continue to work out the details of the program. He stated that the Recreation Budget probably should be amended to include this appropriation. Chairman Whitted referred to Item 7; Jack Stone stated that the current Consortium Agreement expires on September 30th of each year, ~v ~ however, the Department of Labor is asked that if the Consortium 1Boardbof continued, that the respeotive Boards so indicate. Durham County Commissioners have agreed to continue the Consortium through September, 1978. Chairman Whitted, who also serves on the Consortium Advisory Council, stated that he felt the Board'would want the Consortium Agreement to con- tinue. That last year there was some.modificatians to the agreement relating to membership and the electing of a Chairman. Commissioner Pinney asked if the goals of last year, as set out in the agreement had been accomplished? Mr. Stone replied that this varied according to programs. In the basic training program, with the factors of unemployment and poverty, placed Orange County to receive 28 percent of the training funds. He stated that every effort had been made to reach that goal. Title VI, which is the Public Service Jobs Program, money is allocated by the .Department of Labor based on area share of unert~ployment. What ever dollar; amount produces so many jobs in Orange County, is what the Service will go with. In the Summer Youth Employment Program, 30 percent of the funds and 30 percent of the slots are designated for Orange County. Commissioner Pinney requested a breakdown of programs and funds available to Orange County with sex and race set out. He a3;so asked for the same breakdown for Durham County. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that he would like to see what has been accomplished in terms of last year's goals. He added that he felt Orange County should think in terms of renewing the Consortium Agreement. He stated further that a good review to see what problems exist would be heldful. Mr. Stone stated that in terms of the broader goals of the number of people served and trained, there have been no goals set for Orange and Durham Counties. A comprehensive plan for the two counties has been set up. The consensus of the Board was to continue with the Consortium Agree- -- ment. Upon motion of Commissioner Gustaveson, seconded by Commissioner Pinney, it was moved and adopted to give assurances to the Durham-Orange Employment Training Council of Orange County's intention to continue the Consortium Agreement with the flexibility to work out specific details as the Soard looks at what progress has been made during the last year. Mr. Stone was requested to send a breakdown of the programs and funds to the Board prior to appearing before the Board. The Chairman asked that the Board discuss the Raymond Williams re- zoning request next. The Chairman asked the County Attorney for his comments. Mr. Gledhill stated that in a letter from Mr. Mike Brough, Attorney for Mr. Williams, Mr. Brough had persuaded him that the Board of commissioners did have the power to reconsider its prior act. Mr. Gledhill stated that in a letter to the Chairman of the Board,_-he had indicated that this could be done by a Board member making such a motion, and upon a second and a majority vote, the rezoning request could be reconsidered. Commissioner Pinney asked if this was .possible even if this Board had the policy that only a member of the majority can move to reconsider a motion. Mr. Gledhill stated that he did not know. Discussion ensued as to whether or not this Board has adopted certain rules of order. Chairman Whitted stated that the issue before this Board was to decide if they wished to reconsider the rezoning request of Raymond Williams. He stated that the petitioner cannot bring this request to the Board, however, if a member of the Board wished to make such a motion and upon a second and the Board's approval, the request can be reconsidered. Commissioner Walker moved that the rezoning request of Raymond Williams be reconsidered the first Monday in May. Commissioner Pinney seconded the motion. sss Discussion ensued. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that when this request was heaxd at the public hearing there were people who were pre- sent who were concerned about the planning for this particular area. He stated that he had not changed his opinion from the earlier decision which was based on good planning. Mr. Walker pointed out that the Planning Board had recommended that this rezoning request be approved. The Chairman called for the vote on the motion. Voting aye were Commissioners Walker, Whitted, and Pinney. voting nay were Commissioners Willhoit and Gustaveson. The motion was declared passed. Commissioner Gustaveson stated further that operation of this garage was in violation of the law, and that he felt the Planning Staff should - look into this situation. The Chairman requested the Planning Staff notify the adjoining pro- perty owners of this rezoning reconsideration. Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner Whitted, it was moved and adopted that the Planning Staff should notify the adjoin- ing property owners and inform them of their opportunity to speak fox or against this rezoning reconsideration The County Managex suggested that the Board discuss the sell of palmistry license next. He stated that a request had been received for such a license. Chairman Whitted stated that previous action of this Board regarding this matter was to request the General Assembly to exclude Orange County from the State law which prohibits palmistry in Orange County, and that this was granted. The County Attorney stated that the County could regulate such activity as palmistry by an ordinance or by setting fees. The State has a minimum recommended fee of $200 for Counties to charge. The State fee is $500 per County. The County Manager stated that near-by counties have a set fee of - between $200 and $500. Further discussion ensued regarding the sell of different license in the County. Commissioner Pinney moved that the palmistry license in Orange County be set at $1,000. This motion died for lack of a second. Commissioner Gustaveson moved to set the fee of palmistry license at $200. Commissioner Whitted seconded the motion. Further discussion ensued. Commissioner Pinney stated that there could be many problems with this type of trade and that he felt the fee should be at least the same as Chapel Hill, which is $500. Mr. Pinney moved that the motion be amended to set the fee for the sell of palmistry license at $500. Commissioner Walker seconded the motion of Mr. Pinney. ~ Tha Chairman called for a vote on Commissioner Pinney's motion. Voting aye were Commissioners Walker, Willhoit, and Pinney. Voting nay were Commissioners Whitted and Gustaveson. The motion was declared passed. The County Attorney informed the Board that this action appears to have the effects of an Ordinance and when an Ordinance is not passed un- animously on the first reading, it must be brought to the Board again wihtin 100 days. The second reading of this would pass with a majority vote. The item will appear on the agenda at the May 2nd meeting. Chairman Whitted referred to Item 3: Plats for Consideration: He recognized Mr. Chris Edwards from the Planning Staff. A. C. Dupree Smith - this plat proposes the division of a 2.5 acre lot from a thirty-eight acre tract. Both parcels will front on a paved State Road. This is a minor subdivision plat. Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner Walker, it was moved and adopted to approve the minor subdivision plat of C. Dupree Smith. B. James R. Ladd plat was not heard. Item 4: The Planning Staff desires to present information relative __ to the Foxlair Subdivision. The agenda-attachment stated that two months ago, the Board approved the Foxlair Subdivision. A unique feature in this subdivision was a ford to provide access to lots across New Hope Creek. The Board approved the concept of this ford conditioned upon its being constructed high enough to provide access during the fifty year Hoed. The Planning Department has established to its satisfaction the level of the fifty year flood. A ford to this level woudl in fact be a major dam. Mr. Edwards stated that the developer of Foxlair needed the Board's approval of the bridge which had been constructed of large pipes and con- Crete. The bridge is 52 inches high and the Erosion Control Officer thinks the stream will ge over the bridge one time a year. An engineer from Rose, Pridgen and Freemon has inspected the bridge and feels that the creek pro- bably will not go over the bridge at all. The Planning Board has approved the bridge with the stipulation that buyers of the property in the back of Foxlaiz Subdivision be made aware of the problem of access during the fifty year flood. Mr. Edwards stated further that the developer would need additional erosion control for one side of the bridge. Aiscussion ensued concerning the slope of the land on the creek. Upon motion of Commissioner Walker, seconded by Commissioner Gustaveson, it was moved and adopted to approve the bridge as constructed over New Hape Creek in the Foxlair Subdivision, deleting the previously __._ approved 50 year flood plan, but with proper safeguards for the bridge. Mr. Edwards informed the Board of an educational session regarding -- the new Subdivision Regulations to be held on Monday, April 26, 1977, at 7:30 p.m., in the District Courtroom of the Courthouse in Hillsborough. The Chairman asked if the Board would approve the April 4, 1977 minutes. Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner Gustaveson it was moved and adopted to approve the minutes of April 4, 1977. Item 5: Appointment as position of First Alternate an the Orange County Board of Adjustment was deferred. Chairman Whitted referred to Item 8: The Manager requests the Board's comments concerning the proposed lease agreements for Northside and Cedar Grove School properties. The Chairman recognized Alice Phalan, Director of the Headstart Program at Cedar Grove Schoel, and asked the Board if there was further discussion of the lease agreements for Northside and Cedar Grove School properties. n 11 ~y Commissioner Pinney stated that he would/the lease agreements to -- reflect that Joint Orange Chatham Community Action (JOCCA) could lease the buildings from the County, but that they cannot sub-lease. The County should be in charge of county buildings. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that he felt page 4, sectiob 8 of the lease agreement for Cedar Grove prevented JOCCA from sub-leasing without the written consent of the County Commissioners. Commissioner Pinney stated that he felt the County should not sub- lease any buildings, but should lease the building to JOCCA and any separate group which may go into the building should also lease through the County. ~."~~ Commissioner Willhoit stated that he felt the JOCCA Board should handle situations of this nature, since they are closer to the situation. He stated that the Joint JOGCA Board had not acted on the lease agreements and would like to have the opportunity before the agreements are finalized. Alice Phalan stated that she could see where problems might arise with the County being in complete charge of the buildings. One problem would be with the basic maintenance of the buildings and another would be the issue of policy. She recommended that JOCCA be in charge of the buildings which they ].eased. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that leasing should come under one administrative framework, which is the JOCCA Board. Mr. Pinney stated further that he did not want to set a precedent of turning County owned buildings over to a group and allowing them to sub-lease. Chairman Whitted stated that he felt this safeguard was built into the lease agreement. Commissioner Pinney said that the felt it should be the policy of this Board to require written leases and sub-leases of County owned buildings. The County Manager informed the Board that the terms of the lease should be disolved. The County Attorney suggested that the lease ter- minate at the end of the fiscal year. Mrs. Phalan requested that in the Cedar Grove lease there be a dis- tinction between the playground used by the Recreation Department and the enclosed playground of the Headstart Program. The County Attorney was requested to make this distinction on the lease agreement. Chairman Whitted stated that at the time these leases are to be renewed, JOCCA should indicate to the Board of Commissioners what space is being used and by whom, and the terms of the arrangement. These lease agreements will be placed on the agenda again after the JOCCA Board has taken action. Chairman Whitted referred to Item 10: A review of the Title X$ situation by the Finance Director. Mr. Whitted recognized Tom Ward, Social Services Director, and Rick Poole, Administrative Assistant. '1"he'County Manager presented to the Board a listing of Title XX comparisons of what each county in the State is now receiving against the upcoming year. This comparison reveals that the Counties which we thought were big losers and would be Orange County's .allies in the reshaping of the Title XX formula are not the same as original thought. He stated that essentially Title XX has been divided by three formulas. Two years ago, the formula was a first come first served formula. The State decided that this did not work well, so the Title XX formula was revised on the basis of all people in the State who were eligible for Title Xx. This gave Orange County a modest allocation of approximately $450,000. To this Orange County received an additional allocation of $436,638. In the present year, Orange County suffered somewhat compared to the previous year. In January, the State appointed an Ad Hoc Committee which again revised the Title XX formula on the basis of public assistance. This new formula does help many of the larger counties which were hurt by the fair share of Title XX. Mr. Ward stated that~.Orange County does not have a lot of allies, as most counties are better off than Orange County in receiving Title XX funds. Chairman Whitted asked that the Board consider taking their Title XX situation directly to the Department of Human Resources. Discussion ensued. The County Manager stated that the State had arbitrarily decided that there will be a substantial reduction in services in some counties and there probably is not a large increase in public assistance services in other counties. He stated that the counties which were receiving the larger portion would have to match a larger portion. ~r~ He stated that there probably would be a large amount of unspent monies on hand next May, however, this would, be too late for any county to do anything with it. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that he felt the concern should be a new principle of how the funds are allocated and to get away from this situation of not being able to budget sensibly ar have programs with any continuity. He stated that the Board should make this point clear. He added that he was concerned that the State would end up next year with 20 million dollars of unspent monies. Mr. Ward stated that some counties will have to increase their spend- . ing while some decrease spending, and that there is some question that as much money will be spent under this formula because those counties which __._- are spending now will have to depend on a reallocation and he was unsure many counties would take this risk. Mr. Ward stated that another argu~ent could be the Title XX formula itslef, which made no seise based on the Title XX guidelines. The County Manager was instructed to arrange a meeting with the Department of Human Resources. He is to also ask Representative Hunt, Howard Lee, the local government liason, Ron Adcock from the County Commis- sioners Association, and Robert Ward with the State Social Services Office to be in attendance at this meeting. Any other counties who are interested are invited to attend. Mr. Ward informed the Board of new Federal funds which may be avail- able for day care services. These funds requrie no match but are expended wherethere are no day care programs. Funds are also expended to expand day care programs or to continue programs where funding has been cut back. He stated that Frank Porter Graham could qualify to receive these funds. Item 13 was in regard to a letter Commissioner Walker will send to the Local Government.Commission. Mr. Walker presented to the Board a letter addressed to Harlan B. Boyles, requesting that the financial con- dition of the Mental Health Center be investigated and the Counties be advised as to whether they may lawfully contribute public funds toward eleiminating a deficit created by antther legal entity. He asked the - Board of-:Commissioners to endorse the letter to Mx. Boyles. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that the letter to Mr. Oakley, which Mr. Walker referred to, was suggesting certain actions which each Board could consider. He added that when an agency projects a deficit, it is not to pay back a deficit, but to analyze where you actually are in terms of what your spendings are. The Mental Health Board went to the three Boards and the three Board of Commissioners in turn appropriate additional money to help meet this expected deficit. Mr. Gustaveson stated further that he could no endorse the letter to Mx. Boyles, because it was not accurate. Mr. Walker referred to the letter addressed to Mr. Oakley from the Local Government Commission of March 22, 1977. He stated that he wanted to know if it is legal for the County to contribute money toward elimin- ating a deficit created by another legal entity. Chairman Whitted stated that the situation was that given the current level of spending, and the current level of revenue, if Mental Health continued at that same level, then come June 30,1977, the Mental Health Center would find itself in a deficit situation. These facts were pre- sented to the Person, Chatham and the Orange County Board of Commissioners. - The Mental Health Board presented these counties with alternatives of either losing mental health services or else provide additional appro- priations to pay for these services. Additional appropriations were pro- vided and Mental Health is now operating at a level of where expenditures and revenues will equal at the end of the fiscal year. Further discussion ensued concerning the pay back situation which Mr. Walker reminded the Board must be paid back by June 30, 1978, to the State. He asked if the pay backs will be built into the County budget, and the reply was yes, however, this was not a deficit but a liability. Mr. Walker stated that his question was if he as a County Commissioner had any liability, or does the Board of Commissioners have any liability for funding these pay backs. ~.~z The opinion of the Board was that Mr. Walker could send the letter to Mr. Boyles if he wished, however, the Board did not feel they should en- dorse the letter. The Clerk was instructed to forward the letter to the Local Government Commission with copies sent to the Chairman of the Person and Chatham Counties' Boards. Ttem 13: Discussion of energy in Orange County. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that his concern is that as budget time approaches, the Boad should think seriously about implementing an _ energy plan as well as think again about an energy person on the County Staff. He stated that the Town of Chapel Hill is interested in funding one-half of an energy position. An arrangement with Chapel Hill can be made to have a full-time person, plus additional funds to maintain an energy office. He added that he would like to see this Board discuss with Chapel Hill, before budget time, a job description for such a person. Mr. Gustaveson stated that the Stae would have two State Planning Grants to become available in October, 1977, which will provide two local funds for energy conservation management programs as a model. He stated that since Orange County had a headstart, that they should be first in line for receiving funds. Commissioner Pinney spoke of an engineer to operate County buildings, someone who is an expert in a lot of fields, as well as energy. He stated that he felt someone with these functions would be .extremely useful to the County. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that with the mandated building stan- dards which are foreseen for the future, it would take a professionally trained person who would work with the County's Building and Plumbing Inspectors. He stated that this will be needed"in the County, however, he also felt a.person whose interest is in energy alone will be needed. He recommended that the Commissioners act on this proposal from Chapel Hill to have an energy person responsible to both local govern- ments as soon as possible. He suggested that an interim committee of Kurt Jenne, Sam Gattis, a County Commissioner, and representatives from the Chapel Hill Board of Alderman develop ajob description for such a energy person. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that:.he would be happy to serve as the County's representative to this interim committee. The interim committee will meet and bring recommendations back to the Board of Coimnis- sioners. Chairman Whitted informed the~Board that at the April 4th meeting of this Board, recommendations were requested for appointees as Trustees to the Interim Cedar Grove Fire Department. These recommendations are Jim Sparks from the Walnut Grove Community, Melvin Beasley from Cedar Grove and aerritt Dixon from the Carr Community. Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney it was moved and adopted to appoint Jim~SparksaeMelvinoB asleoner Walker, Dixon as Trustees to the Interim Cedar Grove Fire Department.y~ and Merritt The Board recommended that the Little River~Fire Department be made aware of their need to submit nominees as Trustees to this Fire Department. The meeting was adjourned. .n F ~ . Ric ardl Whitted, Chairman Agatha Johnson, Clerk
