A. BOARD COMMENTS
1. Chair Marshall announced that the Town of Hillsborough will hold
a public hearing on Thursday, February 26 in Superior Courtroom on their
thoroughfare plan.

calendar be placed on the March 2 agenda.
3. Commissioner Hartwell made reference to a letter from Secretary
Kirk of the North Carolina .Department of Human Resources to the Social
Services Directors about simplification of some of the social services
procedures. He expressed concern about the number of forms a client must
complete for eligibility. The State may, under the federal guidelines,
request a waiver to simplify the paperwork but does not seem inclined to
do so.
4. Commissioner Halkiotis gave a Livestock Market update. He
presented four facts: (1) the Orange County Livestock Market will cease
to operate under the direction of Gold Kist, Inc. as of 6/30/87, (2) the
closing of the Orange County Livestock Market will have an impact on the
economy of orange County as several million dollars of transactions will
also cease, (3) Carolantic Realty, Inc. through Jim Anthony has offered
to lease the present facility for an additional 12 months beyond 6/30/87
to any interested party for a fixed fee and (4)-
the Orange County Beard of Commissioners care about this facility and its
economic impact on all of Orange County. He stated that he (and any
other Commissioner(s)) is willing to direct a small committee of county
staff (Agricultural Extension, Planning Department/Board, Economic
Development Commission, County Manager or designee, and others as
appropriate) and representatives from the Orange County Cattlemen's
Association to look at two separate issues and report back to the Board
of Commissioners.
ISSUE #1: To study the feasibility of a possible extension of the
livestock market at its present location pursuant to the
offer made by Jim Anthony of Carolantic Realty. Report back
to the Board of Commissioners by March 24, 1987.
ISSUE #2: To study the feasibility of a joint public/private venture
for the creation of an Agricultural/Rural Education Center
(a multi-purpose facility) in Orange County that would
provide a livestock sale site as just one of many possible
uses by all citizens of Orange County. A report would be
presented to the Hoard of Commissioners by May 19, 1987.
It was the consensus of the Soard that Commissioner Halkiotis cha'ir'
such a committee as outlined above.

Efland Sanitary Sewer Bond Order and the presentation on Modular
Construction. These items will be rescheduled.

PUBLIC CHARGE
Chair Shirley Marshall read the Public Charge as approved by the
Soard and as written in the Rules and Regulations of said Board.
PUBLIC HEARING - IMPACT FEES
Attorney Geoffrey Gledhill made the presentation. He explained that
the proposed legislation would establish impact fees to cover the
acquisition of open space and greenways, capital improvements to public
streets, schools, bridges, sidewalks, bikeways, on and off street surface
water drainage ditches, pipes, culverts, other drainage facilities, water
and sewer facilities and public recreation facilities. Impact fees
received by the County shall be deposited in a capital improvements
reserve fund or funds established under Chapter 159 of the General
Statutes, Article 3, Part 2. An impact fee ordinance shall make provision
for credits against required fees when a developer installs improvements
of a type that generally would be paid for by the County out of a capital
reserve account funded by impact fees. The legislation would provide an
appeals procedure for any person aggrieved by a decision regarding an
impact fee.
There were no questions or comments from the Bcard.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
..Planning Soard Chair Barry Jacobs reiterated that last year when
impact fee legislation was discussed the Planning Board passed a
resolution which endorsed the proposed enabling legislation. He would
like to again on behalf of the Planning Board endorse this proposal. He
further stated that accepting impact fees and requiring developers to pay
for public improvements of private ventures is keeping with the
conservative view of the expenditure of public money.
WITH NO .FURTHER COMMENTS, THE PULBIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.

Marvin Collins explained that local governments have been asked
_., to supplement state funding for landscaping improvements at the T-40
interchanges. The Triangle J Regional Image Task Force Subcommittee asks
the County to share, with Durham County, the cost of improvements to the
I-40/US 15-501 interchange. Orange County's share would be $10,000.
NCDOT will maintain the plantings upon installation. No funds have been
budgeted for this project.
Planning Board Chair Barry Jacobs expressed mixed feelings on
endorsing the contribution as requested. The marketing aspects of the
beautification efforts for this festival seem to be aimed at making the-
Triangle area as attractive a package as possible to the potential
300,000 visitors expected to the area. If money is going to be
allocated for beautification efforts or preservation of natural
resources, there are more pressing needs than attempting to impress
visitors that will be in the area far twelve days.
Commissioner Willhoit endorsed participation by the County.
Commissioner Hartwell indicated there are other specific needs in
the County that need to be addressed before money is allocated for
beautification purposes.
After further comments from the Board members, a motion was made
by Chair Marshall, seconded by Commissioner Carey to deny the request for
$10,000.
