PUBLIC COMMENT:
Vivian Hearndon -Latta spoke on the Cedar Grove Library. She said that she hopes the
Board of County Commissioners will consider keeping the library open because it is well
needed in the community. She said that this is a great service to the community and the
community uses it on a constant basis.
Commissioner Gordon asked about School Resource Officers (SROs) and it was
answered that the Chapel Hill Police Department is paid by CHCCS for this, but Orange County
pays for the ones for OCS. She said that this is worth noting.
Frank Clifton said that this may go back to the fact that Orange County schools are
served by the Orange County Sheriff's Department and the Chapel Hill - Carrboro City Schools
chose to use the Chapel Hill Police Department.
Chair Foushee said that the Town of Chapel Hill received a grant that started the
funding for the SROs and then the Town of Chapel Hill picked that up for a period of time and
now the school system pays for it.
Chair Foushee said that Fire Chief Dan Jones is here tonight. Last week the County
Commissioners had questions about the fire district tax for the Chapel Hill Township. She
asked the Fire Chief to address'those questions about the six residents in Chapel Hill.
Commissioner Yuhasz said that the rate went up from 2 Y2 cents to over 7 cents and
there are only 6 houses involved. He suggested that the change might be considered to be
phased in over a few years. He asked if the Chief made contact with these families about the
increase.
Dan Jones said that letters were sent and hand - delivered and he received one response
via phone call and she spoke in favor of the raise. He said that the reason they suggested this
increase was because it is a doughnut hole of two streets and for some reason it has never
been annexed. He said that these six residents have been paying only 2.5 cents for municipal
protection.
Commissioner Nelson spoke to Ms. Hearndon -Latta and thanked her for coming. He
said that this was the most painful cut for him, but he had to make it this budget season. He
spoke about the costs of the staff and maintaining the facility, which would be almost $150,000
for this facility. He said that the Library Services Director has promised to come back in the fall
with a plan for library services for rural Orange County.
Ms. Hearndon -Latta said that she wanted to fight for what she believed in and she
believed in education. She said that she and others were willing to volunteer to keep this facility
open.
Commissioner Nelson suggested that she talk with the Orange County Library Services
Director about this.
Chair Foushee said that Commissioner Nelson's comments were in line with the
sentiment of the entire Board.

suggestions for further improvements, and he will share these at a later time.
