ALL RECORDING TAPES OF THE MEETING WILL BE KEPT FOR FIVE (5) YEARS. 1. ADDITIONS OR CHANGES TO THE AGENDA The Board added as item 8-zero, minutes for the February 24, 1997 Quarterly Public Hearing. 2. AUDIENCE COMMENTS a. Matters on the Printed Agenda Chair Crowther stated that citizens who have indicated a desire to speak on an item on the printed agenda will be recognized at the appropriate time. b. Matters not on the Printed Agenda Roger Barr asked for a status report on the Neville Tract, a 14 acre tract of land adjacent to the present landfill. He said that to secure the cooperation of the community in the purchase of this tract, elected officials conducted a long series of meetings with neighbors in 1995 and a series of agreements were reached. However, in late March, 1997, the neighbors were notified that the Landfill Owners Group (LOG) was not planning to follow the agreed upon plan. He asked that the County Commissioners support their January, 1996 resolution and direct staff to act accordingly to follow it in every detail, whether or not so doing is convenient for landfill management. John Link will report back to the Board on the status of this situation. PUBLIC CHARGE Chair William Crowther dispensed with the reading of the public charge. 3. BOARD COMMENTS Commissioner Halkiotis made reference to the update about the license plate office. He is disappointed that it will be mid May before business can be resumed. He expressed a concern that they have no enforcement or penalties for someone not giving them 60 days notice. He would like to have someone call their Raleigh office and ask them to set up this office as soon as possible and to consider a second office in Hillsborough. Commissioner Gordon distributed two articles which pointed out that many people move to rural areas not realizing that citizens in the rural areas of the county don't receive the same level of services that are provided to citizens who live within the city limits of a municipality. She feels that a summary of what Orange County does provide and what they don't provide would help newcomers who move to this area. Commissioner Brown asked that a letter be sent to the committee studying the Horace Williams tract requesting that the County have representatives on this committee. A letter will be sent making this request. Commissioner Brown asked for an update on the rabies situation in the County. A report will be placed on the April 16 agenda. 4. COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT John Link asked for items to be added to the agenda for the Board's meeting with the Town of Hillsborough scheduled for April 9. Commissioner Halkiotis asked that the proposed reservoir be discussed at that meeting. 5. RESOLUTIONS/PROCLAMATIONS A. NATIONAL DRINKING WATER WEEK PROCLAMATION Chair Crowther read the proclamation.

VOTE: UNANIMOUS B. ESTABLISHMENT OF JOINT PUBLIC HEARING ON INTEGRATED SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN John Link stated that the Landfill Owners Group has adopted a schedule for reviewing and implementing an integrated solid waste management plan for Orange County and the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill , and Hillsborough. All local governments are required by the State to have an adopted solid waste plan in place by July 1, 1997. On February 19, 1997, the LOG adopted a resolution requesting that each of the four governing boards schedule a public hearing for 7:00 p.m. on May 22, 1997 at Stanback Middle School. Chair Crowther noted that the County Commissioners need to discuss the various options for solid waste management and submit that as part of the integrated plan. A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Carey to adopt the resolution as stated below: A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A JOINT PUBLIC HEARING OF THE GOVERNING BOARDS OF CARRBORO, CHAPEL HILL, HILLSBOROUGH AND ORANGE COUNTY ON INTEGRATED SOLID WASTE PLANNING WHEREAS, the Landfill Owners Group has adopted a schedule for development of the integrated solid waste plan that includes a public hearing on the plan, and WHEREAS, the State of North Carolina General Statute 130A-309.09A(b) requires that each local government hold an advertised public meeting as a minimum requirement for public participation in development of the required solid waste plan, and WHEREAS, the Landfill Owners Group believes that a single public hearing at which all elected members of all governments of the owners group are present could be more effective in communicating citizens' requests than a series of separate proceedings by each government, and WHEREAS, the members of the local governments have not yet given full consideration to the elements of the integrated solid waste plan. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Orange County Board of Commissioners that they will host a public hearing, along with other local governments that adopt similar resolutions on the integrated solid waste management at 7:00 p.m. on May 22, 1997, at Stanback Middle School.

VOTE: UNANIMOUS B. IMPACT FEE REIMBURSEMENT POLICY Jahn Link said that on November 1, 1995, the Board approved a policy for Impact Fee reimbursement to local non-profit organizations meeting the established criteria. The eligibility criteria included only non-profit housing organizations producing single family housing for first-time homebuyers at or below 80% of area median income. Since adoption, the interest in reimbursement of fees paid for rental property developed for low income families has become more visible. Most of the discussion centered around #8 and the paragraph following which are stated below for reference purposes: 8. "All organizations requesting impact fee reimbursement must certify in writing that the housing will remain affordable to the anticipated beneficiary or beneficiaries for a period of at least twenty (20) years. Evidence must be provided that agency and/or program guidelines are in place to assure compliance." "The Board of Commissioners may consider rental housing developed by a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization for special needs populations on a case-by-case basis." Highlights of this discussion are listed below. The recording of this discussion is in the permanent agenda file in the Clerk's office. Commissioner Gordon made reference to #8 and said that she feels there are some cases where 30 years would be appropriate. She asked Tara Fikes when federal guidelines specified 20 years and when they specified 30 years. Ms. Fikes explained that most HUD programs require a 20 year affordability period. Commissioner Gordon asked that the County Attorney prepare a paper showing the pros and cons to determine the implications of including rental housing in the existing reimbursement policy and also an explanation of some of the definitions. Since 20 years is traditionally the number of years used by HUD, Commissioner Carey feels the County should use these guidelines on what can be charged for rent. The rent must remain affordable throughout the rental period. Geoffrey Gledhill emphasized that a policy which indicates that the Board consider applications on a case-by-case basis provides the County Commissioners the option of placing conditions on each individual application. In response to a concern expressed by Commissioner Brown, John Link said that it is important to establish a process where any request for reimbursement must adhere to the budget process. John Link said that one option is to appropriate sales tax toward the reimbursement of impact fees. The impact fees themselves would revert back to the schools system affected and it would be revenue neutral. Another option is to simply appropriate money from property tax for a certain amount each year. Commissioner Gordon does not believe John Link's suggestion to appropriate sales tax for impact fee reimbursement would be revenue neutral for the schools if it were appropriated from the schools' portion of the sales tax revenue, since otherwise the money would go to the schools. Commissioner Carey feels that there is a distinction with new housing occupied by senior citizens and houses vacated being occupied by families with children. He supports this kind of payment for reimbursement of impact fees for housing for senior citizens but not for non-senior citizen housing because of the impact of families with children moving into the vacated housing. Commissioner Gordon feels that the rationale for the impact fee is that when new housing is created it increases the housing stock. She does not support Commissioner Carey's distinction mentioned above because she feels that this undermines the rationale for the impact fee. A motion was made by Commissioner Carey, to approve the policy as it refers to first time homebuyers and track the HUD policy on the number of years the units must be maintained as affordable which would be 20 years or at least the number of years that HUD would require and for the purpose of the home ownership policy, it should be restricted to first-time homebuyers as stated in the policy. For first time homebuyers, this would not include rental. The HUD policy for the number of years is relevant for both. This motion also includes an amendment to the policy to provide for advance notice of projects and to have the reimbursements coincide with the budget cycle. (this approves the policy as written except #8) This motion was seconded by Commissioner Brown. Carrboro Board of Aldermen Alex Zaffron said that Carrboro is developing guidelines at the present time. They plan to use HUD guidelines and the projects must be funded either by the State or Federal Government.. VOTE: AYES, 4; NOS, 1 (Commissioner Gordon) Commissioner Gordon said she still feels the number of years that this housing will remain affordable should be 30 years instead of 20 years. A motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Chair Crowther to approve including rental housing in the impact fee reimbursement policy as presented on the draft policy. Commissioner Gordon asked to delay including rental property until information is received from the County Attorney about the pros and cons of whether rental property should be included in an affordable housing policy. Commissioner Carey said that he feels this information is not necessary and that the staff should be instructed to include rental property in the affordable housing policy. Commissioner Brown asked that no action be taken but that the questions brought up be answered at an upcoming meeting. Commissioner Carey and Chair Crowther withdrew their motion. The staff will review the discussion and bring this item back on another agenda. C. CHARGE TO SKILL DEVELOPMENT CENTER ADVISORY COMMITTEE Jahn Link presented for Board consideration the charge to the Skill Development Center Advisory Committee. Several changes were made by Commissioners Brown and Gordon. A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Brown to adopt the mission statement and the charge as stated below: "The mission of the Skill Development Center is to provide adequate training and employment services so that all Orange County citizens can be self-sufficient" 1. To advise and report to the Board of Commissioners on all Skill Development Center Activities 2.

To establish annual measurable goals for the Skill Development Center's service outcome and to review annually the service outcomes in relation to those goals. 9. to review the proposed annual budget for the Skill Development Center. VOTE: UNANIMOUS D. CORPS OF ENGINEERS DRAINAGE BASIN STUDY - FUNDING AGREEMENT WITH TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL Planner Mary Willis summarized the information in the agenda. Mike Neal from the engineering department for the Town of Chapel Hill said that in 1994, the Town Council appointed a group of citizens to determine what stormwater services the Town should be providing their citizens and how they should pay for that service. One of their recommendations was to do a planning study of an inventory of what they have and then to look at the types of mitigation measures that might be used to reduce flooding. Chapel Hill will use this study as a model to look at different land uses and the impacts land uses would have on pollutant loading. Commissioner Gordon asked how they decided what Orange County would pay as their share of this study. Mr. Neal explained that this was a recommendation from the committee. Commissioner Gordon questioned whether this should be put in next years budget instead of taking it out of contingency. A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Carey to approve the agreement, authorize the Chair to sign and take the money out of contingency. VOTE: UNANIMOUS E. LEASE APPROVAL FOR 112 N. CHURTON STREET Director of Purchasing and Central Services Pam Jones summarized the information on this lease.
