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 welt 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 %2 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 fo'r 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. VOTE: UNANIMOUS Attachment 2 - 2010 Budget Ordinance: Commissioner Gordon pointed out that there is a revised page 17 (peach sheet).

He also said that this year's budget process was an improved process, but he has some suggestions for further improvements, and he will share these at a later time. Commissioner Nelson added his commendations to the staff and said that this process was transparent and the numbers were correct. Commissioner Pelissier said that this was a much better experience this year and she highlighted that having performance indicators was very useful. She thinks it is important to let the public know what the County is doing. Commissioner Hemminger agreed and said that the budget was easier to understand and cross-reference. b.
