Members present: Commissioners Richard Whitted, Norman Walker, Norman Gustavesan, Don Willhoit and Anne Barnes. Commissioner Whitted opened the meeting by asking if any Baard member .wished to add additional items to the agenda. The following items were .added to the agenda: Agenda Item 6: Developmental Disabilities Proposal Agenda Item 7: Announcements Agenda Item 8: Executive Session Agenda Item 2: Matters of Public Concern Commissioner Walker moved to drop the experimental policy of allowing the public 15 minutes at the beginning of each Board meeting to address the Board. Commissioner Whitted ruled the motion out of order. Mr. C. W. Davis, Mr. Tony Saber, Mrs. Josephine Barbour and Mr. Ben Lloyd spoke in opposition to the Board's experimental procedure of hearing items of public concern only during the first 15 minutes of each meeting. An unidentified individual asked when the public could address the Board. An unidentified individual asked who initiated the new policy on matters of public concern. An unidentified individual asked how the agenda was distributed and spoke against the Board's new policy of hearing items of public concern. An unidentified individual asked persons wishing to discuss personal matters to do so outside the meeting. Mr. Edwin Caldwell, of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School Baard, spoke in favor of the Board's new experimental policy on hearing items of public concern. Commissioner Barnes assured the audience this .was an experimental policy which the Board hoped would expedite the meetings and allow the public a set time at every meeting to address the Board on any item of public concern. ® !7 ~ Commissioner Whitted called for the public hearing to convene so the Commissioners could receive and consider comments on establishing staggered terms for the Orange County Board of Health and receive and consider comments an enlarging the ABC Board from three to five members and receive and consider comments on the Orange County Board of Commissioners making the five appointments to the ABC Board. Agenda Item 3A: Public Hearing to. Receive Comments on Sta erin Terms for Members of the Count Board of Hea t Commissioner Whitted said the County Board of Health is currently a nine member board. The statute does not make a provision for staggered terms, so all terms, except the County Commissioner's term, expire at the same time. After the public hearing, the Commissioners wi11 set a, time to decide whether to ask our legislative delegates to introduce a bill providing for staggered terms. Dr. William S. Mayes, Jr., Chairman of the Orange County Board of Health, read the following resolution: "RESOLVED, that the Orange County Board of Health favors staggering the terms of office of Board members beginning July 1, 1980; that the term of office on the Board of - Health of the Commissioner member remain concurrent with elected office term; that na more than one of the three memberships required to be filled by a professional expire in any one year." No other person in the audience spoke for or against staggering the terms for the members of the County Board of Health. Agenda Item 3B: Public Hearin to Receive Comments on En ar in BC Board and on Chan n t e Metho of Appointing ABC board Members Commissioner Whitted said the ABC Board is currently a three member board with members of the Boards of County Commissioners, Health and Education making these appointments. Dr. William S. Mayes, Jr., Chairman of the Orange County Board of Health, read the following resolution: "BE IT RESOLVED, that the Orange County Board of Health _.. favors expansion of the ABC Board size to represent the geographic and demographic characteristics of Orange County; and, that the County Commissioners act as the sole appointing authority to the ABC Board." Commissioner Walker said he favored more people, not less people, involved in the selection process of ABC Board members. He said he was not in favor of excluding the School Board from the selection process. ~D~`~ i Mr. Oscar Compton, Chairman of the Orange County Board of Educatian, said he favored no change that would reduce the Orange County School Board's involvement in the selection process of ABC Board members. He also spoke in opposition to enlarging the Board from three to five members. Mr. Edwin Caldwell, of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School Board, felt the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School Board should be involved in the selection of ABC Board members. ' Ms. Sharlene Pilkey spoke in favor of enlarging the ABC Board membership from three to five. Mr. Max Kennedy, member of the Orange County Board of Education, spoke in opposition to changing the appointment process to the ABC Board. Mr. Terry Fuqua spoke in opposition to increasing the ABG Board member- sh p from three to five. Mr. David Hinds spoke in favor of enlarging the ABC Board from three to five members. He felt, if one school board appointed members, all school boards should have equal appointment power; but, he was nat apposed to the County Commissioners making all appointments. Mr. Jack Martin said he would like to continue the current method of selecting ABC Board members. Mrs. Josephine Barbour questioned the necessity of changing the method of appointments to the ABC Board or increasing the size. She said she saw nothing wrong with the old system. An unidentified individual asked whether the Board had contacted the legislative delegation about this item. Mr. Tany Saber inquired whether the Board had taken action on this item. Mr. Ben. Lloyd questioned the reasoning behind wanting to change the method of appointing ABC Board members. Commissioner Whitted asked Mr. Gobbel, Chairman of the ABC Board, whether he wished to address the Board of Commissioners. Mr. Gobbel said that he did not. There being no further comments on enlarging the ABC Board or on changing the method of appointment of ABC Board members, the public hearing was concluded. ~~'~ Agenda Item 4: Consideration of Amendments to the Count Sub ivision Ordinance The Planning Director, Mr. Jim Polatty, reviewed for the Board the Planning Staff's recommendations for the subdivision ordinance amendments. _. For copy of said amendments, as amended by the Planning Staff, see page 074 of this book.
