OCTOBER 4, 1993
SPECIAL MEETING
The Orange County Board of Commissioners met in Special .Session at 6:30
p.m. on Monday, October 4, 1993 at the Old Courthouse in Hillsborough, North
Carolina. The purpose of this meeting was to receive input from the County
Commissioners on meeting space and other space needs in the proposed Southern
Human Services Building.

Alice M. Gordon, Stephen H. Halkiotis, Verla C. Insko and Don Willhoit.
COUNTY ATTORNEY PRESENT: Geoffrey Gledhill
COUNTY STAFF PRESENT: County Manager John M. Link, Jr., Assistant
County Managers Albert Kittrell and Rod Visser, Clerk to the Board Beverly A.
Blythe and Purchasing Director Pam Jones.
MEETING ROOM IN THE NEW SOUTHERN HUMAN SERVICES COMPLEX
Architects from Haken and Coley presented a layout of the Southern Human
Services Building showing all the groups which will be using the facility.
They stated that they have had a request of 36,000 sq.ft. from all the user
groups. The multi-purpose room which could be used for a County Commissioners
meeting room would be 2, 000 to 2, 500 sq. ft. with a flat floor. This room would
also be used for the nutrition groups and other meetings. All areas are
secured at night leaving the meeting room open.
It was the consensus of the Board to wire the room for cable. They
decided after a brief discussion not to have a dedicated office for the County
Commissioners. Commissioner Gordon expressed her desire to have a decent place
for the County Commissioners to meet with citizens. The architect will look
at the shared space to see if one can be used for that purpose as well as house
file cabinets. When it is not being used by a County Commissioner it could be
used by others as a conference room.
The Board agreed to a permanent seating arrangement with permanent audio
visual capabilities and a permanent microphone system.
The Board talked about having a common intake area. They would like to
have as much central intake as possible. Pam Jones indicated they would take
that into consideration.
With no further items to discuss, Chair Carey adjourned the Special
Meeting. The next meeting will be held this same day at 7:30 p.m. in the
courtroom of the Old Courthouse in Hillsborough, North Carolina.

IV. RESOLUTIONSJPROCLAMATIONS
A. 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. Each local government is being asked to
jointly agree on the following points: (1) organizational commitment; (2) a
scope of work with an estimated cost and timetable, and (3) financial
commitment.
A motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner
Gordon to adopt a resolution to support a Falls Lake Watershed Study as amended
and stated below: (amendment in bold)
RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT A FALLS LAKE WATERSHED STUDY
TO BE CONDUCTED BY THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT
OF ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH AND NATURAL RESOURCES
Whereas, Falls Lake is the primary drinking water supply for those people
throughout the region who live and work in the City of Raleigh, Knightdale,
Holly Springs, Wendell, Wake Forest, Fuquay-Varina and Garner; and
Whereas, the State and individual local governments have completed studies that
could constitute elements of a comprehensive Falls Lake Watershed Study
(including Wake County's and Raleigh's study of Lower Barton and Honeycutt
Creeks, Durham City and County's study of Little River and Flat River and the
State's Neuse Basin study), but unanswered questions remain about the
relationship between land use in portions of the watershed and the drinking
water quality; and
Whereas, in 1993 the General Assembly appropriated $150,000 to the Department
of Environment, Health and Natural Resources for a Falls Lake Watershed Study
to address water quality concerns and enable the governing boards of Wake
County, Durham County, Durham and Raleigh jointly to establish the scope of
work for the study by October 1, 1993; and
Whereas, the April 28th, 1993 Watershed Summit established a Falls Lake Working
Group comprising the chief elected officials from jurisdictions within the
Falls Lake Watershed and the Secretary of the Department of Environment, Health
and Natural Resources to determine issues which need to be addressed by a Falls
Lake study, as well as how the study should be financed and governed; and
Whereas, Orange County is committed to working in partnership with other
jurisdictions in the Falls Lake Watershed and with the state to protect this
6
drinking water supply as evidenced by Orange County's participation in the
Falls Lake Working Group and as evidenced by Orange County's support of an
Upper Neuse Association which could be instrumental in implementing the
recommendations of a Falls Lake Watershed Study; and
Whereas, Orange County believes that the costs and benefits of protecting the
Falls Lake Watershed should be assessed and shared equitably among the affected
jurisdictions; and
Whereas, the local government representatives on the Falls Lake Working Group
have recommended that the new study draw from and build upon the numerous
studies and models relating to the Falls Lake water quality that have been
developed and not exceed the $150,000 study fund appropriated to the
Department; and
Whereas, the local representatives on the Falls Lake Working Group have
endorsed the concept of a scope of work for a Falls Lake Watershed Study which
includes a water quality goal; develops an understanding of potential current
and future pollution sources and how the lake functions; and includes best
management practices to address water quality problems and has requested that
the attached scope of work be forwarded to each jurisdiction for its
consideration before October 1, 1993.
Therefore, be it resolved that Orange County supports and respectfully requests
the Department to conduct the attached Scope of Work for a Falls Lake Watershed
Study with an amendment that would address the equity of costs and benefits for
the jurisdictions who participate in protecting the watershed."

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.
