This meeting was televised live over Cablevision and will be televised October 18, 19.95 at 7:30 p.m. by CVI. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PRESENT: Chair Moses Carey, Jr., and Commissioners William L. Crowther, Alice M. Gordon, Stephen H. Halkiotis and Don Willhoit. COUNTY ATTORNEY PRESENT: Geoffrey Gledhill COUNTY STAFF PRESENT: County Manager John M. Link, Jr., Assistant County Managers Rod Visser and Albert Kittrell and Clerk to the Board Beverly A. Blythe (Other staff members are listed where appropriate) I. ADDITIONS OR CHANGES TO THE AGENDA - NONE II. AUDIENCE COMMENTS A. MATTERS ON THE PRINTED AGENDA Chair Carey said that citizens who want to speak to an item on the printed agenda will be recognized at the appropriate time. B. MATTERS NOT ON THE PRINTED AGENDA Chris Nutter, Past President and current member of Friends of the Department of Social Services, asked that the Board of County Commissioners help Friends to help the social workers as they work with clients. The social workers are following state directives on the Governor's "Work First" Program. She said that Friends has created a Work First response committee to work directly with Marti Pryor-Cook, Director of the Department of Social Services and her staff. She explained that the hardest thing to plan for and create is the work experience which is mandated for those participants who have not attained a job within 12 weeks of entering the Work First Program. She asked that the Board urge each County department to strongly consider setting up a work experience and to write to other governments in the County and ask them to do the same. She emphasized that it is important that Government support Work First by creating work experience. Providing work experience is a local obligation that needs the support of the County Commissioners. Chair Carey said that the Board will schedule a special work session to learn more about the impact of the Work First program on staff and participants and what the Board can do to help in the implementation of this program. Commissioner Willhoit said that information about welfare reform and the Work First program is needed in order to formulate goals for human services and respond in a positive way to the challenge to implement this program. 2 PUELIC CHARGE Chair Carey dispensed with the reading of the public charge. III. HOARD COMMENTS Commissioner Halkiotis asked that the County look at a consolidated meeting/activity calendar so that multiple meetings are not scheduled for the same day or evening. He also asked that a traffic study be requested at the new A. L. Stanback School. IV. COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT - NONE V. RESOLUTIONS/PROCLAMATIONS A. RESOLUTION TO OPPOSE SITING OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE FACILITY Chair Carey introduced this item noting that at the last meeting the Board considered this resolution. They decided to send a letter to Congressman Heineman requesting that he introduce legislation that would modify the federal Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act to address local concerns. The Board requested that the resolution be brought back to this meeting for further consideration. Rod Visser said that the staff at the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Authority have indicated that because a site has been selected, the host county can negotiate with the Authority any issues related to transportation routes and other concerns expressed by other counties. In terms of general routes, most of the waste transported within the United States is transported on regular tractor-trailers that indicate they are carrying low-level radioactive waste and the transportation routes are not regulated. Some of the other low-level radioactive waste with higher concentrations are carried by special trucks referred to ws cask trucks and are overweight trucks limited to certain roads. Commissioner Gordon emphasized that the resolution will send a message that Orange County is very concerned about this facility and the routes going through the County. Commissioner Halkiotis feels it is the responsibility of the County Commissioners to urge Congressman Heineman to bring about some meaningful change and look beyond just saying that it is not wanted, but to look at alternatives of nuclear power. CITIZEN COMMENTS Mary McDowell, resident of Orange County and for five years a member and staff support for Chatham County's Preferred Site Local Advisory Committee on Radioactive Waste, shared information they have learned about this site. She feels that transportation routes must be addressed after the site is licensed. She summarized a report done by a consultant on the transportation risk assessment as part of the license application for this facility. She shared with the Board the map that shows the routes considered by Chem-Nuclear in their license application and the routes that may be considered by the truckers who haul the waste. She said they did not consider waste going through Orange County. In answer to a question from Commissioner Willhoit, Ms. McDowell said that the transportation assessment did not consider that the waste going to Oakridge for incineration will be coming in from I-40 from the west. She noted that there are now at least three other alternatives where waste could potentially be sent from North Carolina. 3 She asked that the Orange County Board of Commissioners ask the state to look at other policy options that might be more reasonable for the state of North Carolina. Commissioner Willhoit mentioned that the compact situation is pretty much in disarray in the southeast. He noted that there is not as great a need for facilities as envisioned when the low-level policy act was adopted in the late 70's. There is a need to look at the whole process at the federal and state level. He feels that the resolution is mainly in opposition to the site rather than addressing the larger policy issues. Jim Warren, Director of an organization called "The Waste Awareness and Reduction Network" based in Durham said they were also concerned with the broader issues. He said that most of the trucks are not placarded. Some of the trucks have a high concentration of radiation streaming through the trucks themselves. Some are allowed to release 1,000 milligrams an hour of radiation, the equivalent to 100 check x-rays three feet from the truck. He noted that almost all of the radioactive waste comes from nuclear power plants and not from research labs or the hospitals. Their organization is opposed to the burial of nuclear waste anywhere in North Carolina. He feels they need to look beyond the current position and look at the broader implications. The organization feels that the fair and responsible policy is to retain the dangerous waste at the nuclear power plants that are producing the waste. Keep it above ground where it can be monitored and where leakage can be discovered and repaired easily. Their position is to keep the material off the highways and in the hands of the people who produce it. Mark Marcoplos feels there are too many risks in siting a low-level radioactive site in North Carolina. He hopes that a message can be sent to the legislators that the citizens want another way to deal with this waste. He feels that the local responsibility is to build energy efficient buildings and would like a commitment locally to conserve energy. He supports the resolution as presented. A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to approve and authorize the Chair to sign the resolution as presented. Chair Carey noted that the resolution would be sent to the North Carolina congressional delegation. Commissioner Willhoit said that one concept in the letter which is not in the resolution is to provide adequate resources to the state's radiation and protection division who would grant the license which instead of the low-level waste authority. He feels it dishonest to propose something without offering an adequate solution. If this resolution is to be sent to other congressmen, he said it should encourage North Carolina to have a review of the low-level waste policy. He feels that these actions would be more responsible than what is contained in the resolution as written. He made a motion to refer the resolution back to the staff for including some of the concerns heard tonight. This motion was seconded by Chair Carey. VOTE ON THE MOTION TO REFER BACK TO STAFF: AYES, 2; NOS, 3 (Commissioners Crowther, Gordon and Halkiotis) VOTE ON THE MOTION TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION AS PRESENTED AND STATED BELOW: AYES, 4; NOS, 1 (Commissioner Willhoit) 4 RESOLUTION OF THE ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OPPOSING THE SITING OF A RADIOACTIVE WASTE DISPOSAL FACILITY AT THE WAKE/CHATHAM COUNTY SITE WHEREAS, a site located on the Wake County side of the border of Wake and Chatham Counties is under consideration for use as a "low-level" radioactive waste disposal facility and a license application to establish and operate a facility at that site has been submitted by Chem-Nuclear Systems, Inc.; and WHEREAS, citizens and local elected officials of Chatham, Wake and Orange Counties have serious concerns regarding the potential negative impacts of utilizing this particular site for a waste disposal facility and have closely monitored the process of developing site studies, waste handling and transportation plans, as well as the licensing review process; and WHEREAS, consultants who are not under contract to Chem-Nuclear Systems, Inc. but who are experts in low-level radioactive waste generation, disposal and regulation, hydrology and other fields germane to this siting and licensing process have found that the proposed site is not optimal for burial of wastes and that its proposed capacity is far greater than necessary to contain - as initially intended - the low-level radioactive waste generated in twenty years by the Southeast Compact states; and WHEREAS, the proposed site does not, in the expert opinion of many consultants and state regulators, meet licensing requirements that will provide reasonable assurances that the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the region will be adequately safeguarded; and WHEREAS, the continued investigation and consideration of this site will result in the expenditure of enormous sums of public funds; NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Orange County Board of Commissioners that the Board opposes the continued consideration, under the current matrix of site suitability and use parameters, of the Wake/Chatham site for a low-level radioactive waste disposal facility; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board requests that The Honorable Fred Heineman introduce legislation modifying the federal Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act to provide for: 1) a national low level waste repository in a location not constrained by ground water concerns or other consequential environmental factors; 2) the regulatory permissibility of establishing single-state low-level radioactive waste disposal facilities; and 3) the establishment of standards requiring minimal concentration levels, volume reduction and waste .form stabilization of all radioactive contaminated materials destined for subsurface disposal. B. TRANSFER OF COUNTY OWNED PROPERTY TO TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING County Manager John Link asked the Board to consider adopting a resolution that would authorize staff to pursue a process that would result 5 in the transfer of a small parcel of property to the Town of Chapel Hill for affordable housing uses. A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Gordon to approve the resolution as stated below: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING STAFF TO DEVELOP AN AGREEMENT FOR THE TRANSFER OF A PARCEL OF COUNTY OWNED PROPERTY TO THE TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL WHEREAS, Orange County acquired by tax foreclosure in 1977 a small parcel of land on Scarlette Drive in Chapel Hill, and WHEREAS, this parcel is of no practical use to the County under current circumstances, and WHEREAS, this parcel abuts a larger parcel of land owned by the Town of Chapel Hill, and WHEREAS, informal discussions at staff level have reflected the Town's interest in acquiring the County owned parcel, to be combined with the Town owned parcel and used for a joint affordable housing demonstration project involving the Town and Orange Community Housing Corporation; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Orange County Board of Commissioners does hereby authorize the County Manager and County Attorney to pursue a formal agreement between the County and the Town that would lead to the transfer of the County owned parcel to the Town, for nominal consideration, for affordable housing purposes.

INNOVATION AND EFFICIENCY COI~IITTEE Commissioner Gordon suggested that the number of citizens be increased from 9 to 11 and Commissioner Crowther suggested a sunset clause. A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Crowther to approve the charge to the Innovation and Efficiency Committee with the following changes: 1. The membership will be increased from 9 to 11 2. An interim report will be presented by April 16, 1996 3. Progress reports in the form of summaries from each meeting will be made to the commissioners VOTE: UNANIMOUS B. WATER/SEWER SERVICE BOUNDARIES TASK FORCE The Board discussed the possibility of designating the areas outside of the service areas already identified but in the County part of Orange County as the Orange County service area. The County would then identify the provider for the extension of water and sewer. Commissioner Crowther suggested that the Board should include Chatham County and Person County in future meetings. A motion was made by Chair Carey, seconded by Commissioner Gordon to approve the Administration's recommendation which is consistent with the Chapel Hill Town Council resolution of June 26, 1995, the basic provisions of which are: 1. Endorsement of the "straw line" proposal for long-term boundaries among water and sewer utilities; 2. Entering into, on an interim basis, a memorandum of understanding to abide by the proposed utility boundaries pending a permanent agreement; and that such an interim agreement be drafted by the Task Force for consideration by the local governments and utilities; 3. That Orange County, Hillsborough, Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and OWASA representatives meet with representatives of additional jurisdictions and utilities such as the Orange-Alamance Water System, the Town of Mebane, and the City of Durham to determine whether they would be willing to enter into a utility boundary agreement on an interim .basis for a term such as five years and on a long term basis such as for 20 years; and 4. That the task force and representatives of other jurisdictions discuss, in parallel with service area boundary issues, the additional issues identified in the Task Force report (listed in Attachment B) entitled "Correlative Objectives to Adopting the Boundary Map" including responsibility for failure of private community water and wastewater systems, and the consideration of proposed new community systems (2 or more septic tanks using a common drain field). VOTE: UNANIMOUS ~. . 10 C. EQUITY FUNDING IN THE RECURRING CAPITAL BUDGET FOR THE TWO SCHOOL SYSTEMS IN ORANGE COUNTY John Link presented for consideration two methods for revising the method by which recurring capital funds are allocated in the two school systems. Method 1 is to allocate recurring capital on a per pupil basis. Method 2 would allocate on a per pupil basis and continue the funding for the Orange County Schools at the rate of $750,000 per year thereby holding harmless the Orange County system. John Link indicated that the two school systems have not seen this proposal. The Board agreed that it would be appropriate to receive feedback from the two systems before they take action on this item. Commissioner Willhoit said that while it is appropriate that the Chapel Hill-Carrboro school system receive additional funds because of increased space, the question of whether or not $750,000 would be adequate for the Orange County system is an issue. He feels there should be some mechanism for growth either on a per pupil basis or increased proportionally based on growth in the sales tax. John Link said that once the Chapel Hill system reaches that percentage basis, then both systems could elevate based on additional revenue. One of the problems is that there are only limited funds available. The burden is on the property tax because 45$ of property tax is going for education. In answer to a question from Chair Carey, John Link said that the Orange County system has 822,000 square feet and Chapel Hill has 953,000 square feet in school buildings. However, the square footage per pupil is almost the same. Commissioner Gordon said that when the recurring capital formula was first implemented, the two school systems each had approximately the same number of students. However, the Chapel Hill-Carrboro system has since grown at a much more rapid rate and is now significantly larger than the Orange County system and therefore has more needs. Elsewhere in the school budgets funds are allocated on a per pupil basis. She noted that the Board had indicated they would talk about this issue outside of budget deliberations and she feels this is an equity issue that needs to be addressed. Commissioner Crowther emphasized that the two school systems need to have an opportunity to respond to this proposal. Commissioner Willhoit said that he would like to tentatively qo with method 2 as recommended with the growth financed through sales tax and once the formula is reached that the increases be in proportion to the enrollment. Chair Carey suggested communicating this to the two school boards and receive their comments. He feels that the square footage per pupil issue is the same for each school system because of the way space is allocated. John Link suggested that they include this information in a letter being written to the two school systems on siting of schools and that the matter could be handled as part of the CIP process. The commissioners agreed that recurring capital funds should be allocated on a per pupil basis using method 2 and that no formal action would be taken on this item until the two school boards have had an opportunity to review and respond. The commissioners and school boards already have a meeting scheduled in January and this issue could be an agenda item. 11 D. MEETING SCHEDULE FOR CALENDAR YEAR 1996 This item was postponed to the next meeting. X. REPORTS A. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATE On April 18, 1995, the Board of Commissioners appointed a citizen committee to update the 1989 Economic Development Strategic Plan. Economic Development Director Ted Abernathy introduced Chair Howard Lee who gave this report. The Board identified several items they would like to see included in the report. This was received as information. B. HAZMAT ORDINANCE This report was received and will be placed on the next agenda for decision. C. ORDINANCE REGULATING THE USE AND OPERATION OF FACILITIES OWNED OR OPERATED BY ORANGE COUNTY This report was received and will be placed on the next agenda for decision. D. 1995-96 COMMISSIONERS' GOALS In answer to a comment from Commissioner Gordon, John Link said that the goal for efficiency improvements will be added to the goals that will be distributed for the goal setting retreat in December. Paul Thames explained the goal for the Efland Sewer. XI. APPOINTMENTS 1. Stoney Creek Small Area Plan Work Group A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Chair Carey to appoint James Bumphus to the Stoney Creek Work Group to an "At Large" status. VOTE: UNANIMOUS 2. Citizen Innovation and Efficiency Committee The Board members each voted for up to eleven members from the list of applicants provided, except that Rochell Broome's name was removed by Commissioner Willhoit since she does not live in Orange County and Jack Vogt's name was not included since he will be working with the group. The Clerk will tabulate the results and they will be announced at a later date. XIV. ADJOURNMENT With no further business to come before the Board, Chair Carey adjourned the meeting. The next regular meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 1, 1995 at 7:30 p.m. in the Northern Human Services Center in Cedar Grove. Moses Carey, Jr., Chair Beverly A, Blythe, Clerk
