RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT A FALLS LAKE WATERSHED STUDY John Link explained that in July the General Assembly appropriated $150,000 to the Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources for a Falls Lake Watershed Study and asked the governing boards of Wake County, Durham County, Durham City and Raleigh to jointly establish the scope of work for the study by October 1, 1993.

VOTE: UNANIMOUS VII. REPORTS A. ANIMAL CONTROL/SHELTER STUDY COMMITTEE FINAL REPORT The Board appointed in December, 1992 a committee to study the operations of the Animal Control Division of the County Health Department and the County Animal Shelter managed by the Animal Protection Society. The report, as presented, includes findings and recommendations of that committee. Overall, the Animal Control/Shelter Study Committee found "through the accomplishments of both the County Animal Control Division and the Animal Protection Society of Orange County, that the County has an effective and exemplary program for animal control and the humane care and treatment of animals. Albert Kittrell reported that three recommendations have already been completed. These are addressed in the agenda abstract. Commissioner Willhoit served on the committee and reported that most of the issues have been addressed. The meetings were very positive and there was a strong endorsement and affirmation of the two programs. They came away with a commitment to make both programs even stronger by working together. With regard to investigation of animal cruelty cases, he stated that both have authority to conduct animal cruelty investigations. Both will continue to do these investigations but they will inform each other so that there is no duplication. Board members commended both programs. They received the report as information. B. REPORT - OUTDOOR PRIVIES IN ORANGE COUNTY Tara Fikes presented a report on the prevalence of outdoor privies in the County and strategies to alleviate this problem. Briefly, she noted that the 1990 Orange County Census data reported a total of 279 dwelling units which lack complete plumbing facilities. The 1980 census data indicate 1052 dwelling units in Orange County which lack complete plumbing. Due to the limited information requested by the 1990 census questionnaire, the 1052 units is considered by local staff (Tara Fikes, Tony Laws and Paul Thames) to be a more accurate reflection of this problem in Orange County. Tara Fikes listed in her report three options for identifying the total number of outdoor privies. Also she listed solutions to this problem and also the barriers. 8 Commissioner Halkiotis expressed a concern with identifying outdoor privies since people are afraid of doing anything because they feel their home status will be terminated because they are tenant farmers and afraid the owner will put them out rather than correct the situation. Also, the Health Department would condemn the property because they don't have an acceptable waste treatment system. Commissioner Willhoit suggested putting money into correcting these as they are identified. Tara Fikes explained that the problem in utilizing federal funds is that the housing rehabilitation program includes not only the treatment of the outhouses but also comprehensive treatment of the dwelling itself. The problem is that where the dwelling is so severely dilapidated it is not cost effective to repair the dwelling and a bathroom and add a septic system and well. There are funds available that could target the individual house. The people who have no systems or failing systems will receive priority. The problem is that some homes don't have large enough lots that will hold a system and are not close enough to a public system to be connected. They are now working on three houses with no indoor plumbing and 6 or 7 with failing systems that will be connected to public systems. Commissioner Willhoit noted that the census data identified 279 that can be located and there is no reason to identified others until these 279 can be corrected. Tara Fikes clarified that they are not sure where these 279 are located. After the Board discussed the information in the report they determined that the first thing they need to do is identify the houses that have outdoor privies. Commissioner Willhoit and Halkiotis suggested contacting other agencies like JOCCA, DSS, schools, home health care workers, etc. to find out where these outdoor privies are located. John Link suggested and the Board agreed that he bring back to the Board a resolution which indicates that the Board is extremely concerned about this issue and wants to solve the problem in a positive way instead of doing a survey that could have implications of negative things happening. This resolution will then be distributed to agencies who may be able to help in identification. C. REPORT ON WASTEWATER TREATMENT OVERSIGHT PROGRAM FEES This item is in response to questions the County Commissioners had at the last meeting about how fees are determined for the Wastewater Treatment Oversight Program. Commissioner Halkiotis questioned the cost of $100.00 for each inspection. Sally Kost explained that this includes one initial inspection and one reinspection. He has a problem in justifying this fee. Commissioner Insko noted that the County is charging a flat fee and not a differential fee. This helps the citizen in understanding the cost. Commissioner Gordon stated that they had originally thought about charging an hourly rate for each type of system but staff prefers one flat fee which means that even though it takes one hour for one type and four hours for another type, the cost is the same. It is a problem and she is open for suggestions. Commissioner Insko stated a concern that the citizens will perceive this fee as unfair even if it only recaptures the cost. John Link stated that it is difficult to pursue differential fees at the beginning of a new program when there is no history on which to base ~o/y~93 9 these figures. Commissioner Halkiotis stated that the County needs to continue with educating the citizens. Commissioner Insko asked fora report after one year on the systems which have been inspected and the fees charged. John Link indicated that yet to be resolved is when the Board wants the program to start and if they want the fee to cover all costs or if they want to start with a threshold-and then increase the cost to that incurred. Commissioners Gordon and Insko will meet with John Link to answer these and other questions. Commissioner Willhoit feels that full cost should be recovered. He feels the emphasis should be on whether or not the service is needed to protect the health of the citizens of Orange County and-how often it is needed. VIII. ITEMS FOR DECISION -.REGULAR AGENDA A. SWIMMING POOL FINANCING John Link stated that the agenda abstract includes the response to the questions the County Commissioners had at the last meet. It also includes the action the Board would need to take should they decide to pursue the proposal to finance the pool based on the proposal presented by TYHA. If the Board approves the resolution they are making a commitment to contribute-$4 million over a 10 year period to TYHA. - He noted that the Chapel Hill YMCA would not be able to participate in the capital financing of a pool but they did express an interest in being the management entity of the swimming pool. In answer to a question from Commissioner Gordon, John Link indicated that $7.5 million of the sales tax revenues is for identified capital projects. There will be an estimated $8.3 million for other large expenses that have yet to be identified. On the school project side there-is a deficit of $17 million. Commissioner Gordon feels the County cannot afford this facility. The $400, 000 impact may mean that the County would have to raise taxes for other projects which could be funded by this $4 million. She feels this is a stronger proposal than what was previous submitted. The problem she has is with the structural way this is financed. The groups managing this facility have no collateral and the groups with the money -- the County and the investors -- are not managing the facility. With regard to the policies for running the facility, it seems to be a mistake to just limit it to the pool because it is now a community pool and she is concerned that the ice rink may be mostly for young males. She is concerned that people of all ages can use the facility as well as both genders. Her other concern is that the contract did not mention anything about the Board of Directors. Commissioner Insko would like to include the other jurisdictions in this discussion and in any furture discussions. This facility will serve a large number from the southern part of the County and will serve people within the municipalities. With regard to the Board of Directors, she suggested that in addition to representatives from the County, they allow for representatives from the municipalities. There is still the issue of determining what is Orange County's fair share to provide recreational services to people who live within the municipalities. Dan Kidd stated that if this resolution is approved, they will continue to involve the Recreation and Parks Department and others throughout 10 the entire process. Commissioner Insko wants to be assured that citizens are involved. In answer to a question from Chair Carey, Dan Kidd stated that the Board of Directors will be put together immediately. John Link stated that the operating agreement will be driven by what the County Commissioners expect from this facility. This also applies to the ice rink. With regard to the Board of Directors, the Board can indicate the number of members on this Board .and appoint one less than the majority. Citizens Shirl Atwater and Bob Perry spoke in support _of this proposal. - Commissioner .Gordon feels that this resolution should include a section on the size of the Board of Directors. She stated that she is a swimmer. Her problem with this is financial. Specifically she has problems with the structure of the agreement, the lack of collateral and also the terms of this particular agreement. She feels this is more risk to the taxpayers than she man-vote for. - -- A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Insko to proceed with the proposal from MFG, approve the resolution stated below, as amended, indicating the County's commitment to proceed with the project and to enter into an agreement with TYHA that is substantially in the form of the draft agreement as presented in the agenda abstract to construct and operate the proposed facility. ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS A RESOLUTION TO PROCEED __ WITH AN AGREEMENT WITH TRIANGLE YOUTH HOCKEY ASSOCIATION TO CONSTRUCT AND OPERATE A PUBLIC SWIMMING POOL WHEREAS,-the Orange County Board of Commissioners has determined the need for a public swimming pool accessible to all residents of Orange County, and WHEREAS, the Board has evaluated several options for providing such a facility, and - WHEREAS, the Triangle Youth Hockey Association (TYHA), in conjunction with the Municipal Financial Group (MFG), has proposed the construction and operation of the Triangle Community Activity Center (TCAC), which among other functions would house an Olympic-sized public swimming pool, and WHEREAS, plans for the construction and operation of the TCAC and an analysis of the economic feasibility of such an undertaking have been outlined in a business plan prepared for the TCAC by the North Carolina Small Business and Technology Development Center, and WHEREAS, the viability of the proposed TCAC would be dependent on a contribution from Orange County of $4 million over a ten year period, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Orange County Board of Commissioners does hereby express its commitment to proceed with the TCAC project, and FURTHERMORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the County Manager, County Attorney, and County staff are directed to continue negotiation with the interested parties in .this project to produce a final agreement with TYHA, for subsequent consideration by this Board, that is substantially in the form of the draft TCAC Facilities/Services Agreement, dated September 28, 1993, and FURTHERMORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Orange County Board of Commissioners does hereby indicate its desire that the Board of Commissioners shall have authority to appoint members to the TYHA Board of Directors numbering one less than a 11 majority of the TYHA Board.
