NOTE: All documents referenced in these minutes are in the permanent agenda file in the Clerk's Office. I. BOARD COMMENTS Commissioner Gordon made reference to a resolution that has received widespread support from different counties in the state and asked that it be placed on an upcoming agenda for Board consideration of approval. The resolution requests the North Carolina General Assembly and the United States Congress to consider constitutional amendments to prohibit federal legislation that mandates local funding of programs or services without providing funding for said programs and services. Commissioner Halkiotis informed and showed the Board members the visitors guide that is being distributed by Durham County. He hopes that, if given the opportunity, Orange County can produce one just as attractive and informative. Commissioner Willhoit noted that the issue of mandating programs and services without providing the necessary funding has been a top priority of the NCACC for at least ten (10) years and that the Governor is in support of this position. Commissioner Willhoit stated that he is not sure there is anything else that can be done. He feels it is a political decision which will require a constitutional amendment. He proposed that the County identify those items which the County supports beyond what is required by the State and prepare this information in the form of an invoice to send to the Governor. Chairman Carey asked that both the resolution and the list of i! . 2 items be put on the agenda as soon as possible. It will be sent to the Governor after the Board reviews it. Commissioner Gordon asked that this invoice include those unfunded federal mandates. II. COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT - NONE III. ADDITIONS OR CHANGES TO THE AGENDA One resolution was added to the agenda which will allow the Board to change the starting time of the next regular meeting if they so desire. This was added as 5-C. IV. AUDIENCE COMMENTS A. MATTERS ON THE PRINTED AGENDA Chairman Carey announced that all citizens in the audience who would like to speak on an item on the printed agenda will be recognized at the appropriate time. B. MATTERS NOT ON THE PRINTED AGENDA Mr. Michael Harris asked that the Board consider changing the County's Animal Control Ordinance to allow the tethering of fowl. He feels there is no evidence that shows tethering fowl is inhumane. He also questioned why Cornwallis Hills was rezoned to R-3 since it adjoins R-1. He asked that public hearings be held before property is rezoned. Mr. Harris' concerns were referred to the County Manager for followup and a response. Chairman Carey emphasized that no property in Orange County is rezoned without a public hearing being held first. Attorney Gledhill pointed out that the zoning of Cornwallis Hills occurred at a time much earlier than the development of the property and the zoning of the property included all of the phases of Cornwallis Hills. During that zoning process, there was a public hearing. V. ITEMS FOR DECISION - CONSENT AGENDA Motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Insko to approve those items on the Consent Agenda as stated below.

Motion was made by Commissioner Insko, seconded by 4 Commissioner Willhoit to approve the resolution of support for the community colleges that serve Orange County as stated below: WHEREAS, community colleges in North Carolina should continue to provide the adult basic education and literacy training needed to ensure that North Carolina adults gain the skills, beyond reading and writing, which will qualify them to enter technical, vocational, or college transfer programs or succeed in the labor market; and WHEREAS, the community college system should expand its capacity for providing customized skills and supervisory training for businesses; NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Orange County Board of Commissioners, in support of Durham Technical Community College, Alamance Community College and Piedmont Technical Community College endorses their efforts to provide the training resources most appropriate in meeting the needs of our citizens.

County Manager John Link gave a brief summary of the CIP. A copy of his presentation is in the permanent agenda file in the Clerk's Office. The CIP listed for a five year period the capital needs for the areas of Education, Public Buildings and Equipment, Public Safety, Public Works, Recreation and Parks, and Water and Land Resources. After the presentation, the public hearing was open to receive comments from the public. DAN RIDD distributed some information about a non-profit organization which is interested in bringing a physical education and community center to Orange County. The information included a proposal and the objections of the organization along with financial estimates for this center. They plan to do this through donations as much as possible. The center would include an olympic size ice rink, meeting and activity rooms. The first phase of the project would cost 1.8 million dollars. The property is being donated to the organization. They hope to add a swimming pool at a later time. He asked the Board for a grant in the amount of $75,000 which would pay for approximately half of the infrastructure cost of serving the facility. The organization "Triangle Hockey" would own the property but would give Orange County the land needed to build a community pool. Orange County 6 would have a representative sit on the Board that would oversee the operation of the facility. He asked the Board for an endorsement of the project stating that this would help them get the financing they need from the bank. The intent is to bring to the community and Orange County a world-class type facility. The immediate need is some short- term funding until they receive their bank loan. This was referred to the County Manager for further consideration and a recommendation. CAROLYN LEITH, a member of the Performing Art Lovers of Chapel Hill High School (PALS) , stated that this group works to support the cultural art activities that take place at the High School in the Cultural Arts Building. She asked that the County set aside some capital improvement funds to take care of the maintenance of this facility. These improvements would cost approximately $125,000. She stated that the curtains have never been cleaned and are in disrepair. They need to be replaced. There is a desperate need for a total lighting system for the stage. She feels the building is a County asset that requires proper maintenance to continue to work well. Many non- school community groups use the building at the rate of 1-1/2 times per month. She asked the Board to support funding for replacement items and maintenance. She stressed that many students and citizens are served by this facility. Motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Chairman Carey to close the public hearing. VOTE: UNANIMOUS It was decided that this item would be placed on the next agenda for formal action by the Board. B. SPOTLIGHTING AND HUNTING OR FISHING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY This item was presented to receive written comments. Chairman Carey reported that they have received two letters against these proposed changes from George T. Painter and Phillip L. Pennell and seven letters in favor of the proposed changes from Dietrich von Haugwitz, William G. Barbour, Jean B. Anderson, Zeb V. Terry, Anne Shortliffe, Cynthia Geiger and Stewart G. Barbour and one petition in support of the proposed changes which was signed by 23 people. In addition to these letters received by the Commissioners' office, Chairman Carey indicated he had received letters at his home address, most of which were in favor of the proposed changes. Commissioner Gordon clarified that the proposed local legislation is not specific to what will actually be approved by the Board. The local legislation will give the Board the authority to enact an ordinance to regulate hunting and fishing at the local level. Motion was made by Commissioner Insko, seconded by Commissioner Gordon to close the public hearing. VOTE: UNANIMOUS IX. REPORTS A. ORANGE COUNTY LITERACY COUNCIL Ruth Royster, Director of the Orange County Literacy Council, stated that the Literacy Council was founded in 1985. They provide one- 7 on-one tutoring for adults, eighteen and over, who reach adulthood without this skill. She explained how students are evaluated and matched with a tutor. At the present time there are more trained tutors than there are students. In the past five months, their enrollment has almost doubled. She explained how they recruit students. Finding ways to attract non-readers or functionally illiterate adults to the Council continues to be a major goal of the Literacy Council. She explained that she has met with employers in those sectors of the work force where there is a high probability of non-reading employees, such as hotels and motels, the university and the hospital. She explained how she interacts with the tutors and the procedure that is used to report progress. The Council plans to provide a new program for the children and grandchildren of their adult students. She stated that the immigrant population of Orange County has grown to about 4000. The Literacy Council Board of Directors has not as yet decided to offer English as a Second Language but is studying its feasibility. Ms. Royster outlined the needs of the Council. Since the Council is a volunteer organization, they receive most of their funding from United Way and some additional funding from the County and the Municipalities. They have received several grants for equipment which is used by the students. She emphasized that as the Council attempts to expand its programs and reach a greater number of the County's citizens needing their help, that additional funding will be needed. Their goal is to raise the literacy level of Orange County citizens so they may be better qualified for the work force. She asked for continued support from County Government. Financial assistance will help them to continue their services. Ms. Royster stated they now have 62 students. Chairman Carey stated that if more minorities served on the Board of Directors it may encourage more blacks to become involved in the program. He also expressed a concern about the outreach program and indicated a desire to learn more about the creative ways in which the Council plans to reach those citizens who will not come forward. Discussion ensued on Family Literacy. Orange County does not have an active program at this time. The Literacy Board is looking into the program and will explore its feasibility. They do not have the money to implement a new program of this magnitude. B. PROPOSED LOCAL LEGISLATION FOR AUTHORITY TO ADOPT A CIVIL RIGHTS ORDINANCE Jean Bolduc, member of the Human Relations Commission, reviewed the process which ultimately indicated to the HRC the need for a Local Civil Rights Ordinance. They formed an Ordinance Subcommittee and reviewed the local laws of other jurisdictions as well as federal laws which prevent discrimination. She feels that the County will clearly benefit from an Ordinance that will protect the citizens against the different forms of discrimination. She emphasized that the County cannot expect the Federal and State Governments to set the standards for Orange County. She pledged the support of the HRC in working with the County to put an Ordinance in place which is realistic and effective. Discussion ensued on whether or not the Ordinance would also apply to municipalities. Geoff Gledhill stated that the general 8 enabling legislation provides that county ordinances are applicable outside of the territorial boundaries of towns and cities unless the towns and cities by resolution adopt the ordinance of the County. Shirley E. Marshall, former County Commissioner, gave some historical facts about Civil Rights initiatives. She stated that as an extension of the commitment of Orange County Government to protect their citizens, the Human Rights Commission was formed in 1987. She outlined the process the HRC followed to gather background information which led to the recommendation to seek local legislation to develop a comprehensive civil rights ordinance. The ordinance would spell out the many different forms of discrimination and define specifically what protection the citizens might expect from their County Government as well as how the Ordinance will be enforced. She supports this request for enabling legislation. Joe Herzenberg, member of the Chapel Hill Town Council, spoke in support of a request from the Commissioners for enabling legislation. There will be time after receiving the enabling legislation for discussion of the actual ordinance. He stated that after the Ordinance is adopted, the municipalities could be asked to consider its adoption. He feels that there is support from Chapel Hill and Carrboro for this ordinance. C. NEW NPDES STORMWATER REGULATIONS County Engineer Paul Thames reported on the new stormwater regulations promulgated by the US Environmental Protection Agency, the effects of those regulations on Orange County, and Orange County's response to the regulations. The effective date of these new regulations will probably be July 1 or January 1 of 1992. Orange County has two facilities which fall under EPA's definition of an industrial facility. One is Fairview Park, which is a covered-over landfill, and the other is the County motor pool facility. The estimated cost for these two facilities would be $9,000. The Orange County Board of Education's school bus garage in Hillsborough is also affected at an estimated cost of $3200. These are permitting costs. There will be additional costs in meeting the permit requirements. X. ITEMS FOR DECISION - REGULAR AGENDA A. LOCAL LEGISLATION Motion was made by Commissioner Insko, seconded by Commissioner Gordon to approve the resolution on spotlighting as stated below: WHEREAS, the Sheriff of Orange County has brought to the attention of the Board of Commissioners the fact that he has received numerous complaints during the 1990-91 hunting season coming from property owners and citizens about the incidence of unlawful night deer hunting and the great inconvenience to citizens caused by person shining lights searching for deer; and WHEREAS, members of the Board of County Commissioners have also received such calls; and WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners advertised and conducted a public hearing on this issue at its regular March 4, 1991 9 Commissioners meeting held in Hillsborough, North Carolina; and WHEREAS, these same complaints and concerns were expressed by citizens attending the public hearing; NOW, THEREFORE, THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS FOR THE COUNTY OF ORANGE, PURSUANT TO NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL STATUTES 113-291.1(e2) , ADOPTS THIS RESOLUTION requesting the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission to include Orange County among those counties which have the extended period during which the intentional sweeping of deer areas with lights is prohibited and that the rule prevailing in Orange County be changed to prohibit intentional sweeping of deer areas with lights or the intentional shining of lights on deer during the period from one- half hour after sunset until one-half hour before sunrise. VOTE: UNANIMOUS Discussion ensued on the proposed local legislation for the authority to consider a Civil Rights Ordinance. The Board decided to add as number nine this request for enabling legislation. The Attorney will draft the proposed bill for the April 1st Board Meeting at which time a public hearing will be scheduled. Any amendments made on that evening will be forwarded to the legislative delegation. Commissioner Gordon made reference to the Impact Tax legislation and asked if there had to be any extra wording for adding municipalities to this legislation. Mr. Gledhill indicated it was okay as written. He has taken the precaution to bring it to the attention of Chapel Hill's legal council. Motion was made by Commissioner Insko, seconded by Chairman Carey to approve the resolution for local legislation as stated below: BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of Orange County that the Board hereby requests the Senators and Representatives representing Orange County to introduce and support the following legislative matters: 1.
