a. Matters not on the Printed Aqenda (THREE MINUTE LIMIT PER SPEAKER -
Written comments may be submitted to the Clerk to the Board.)
�
Kathy Gunn is from Carrboro and lives at 212 Hillsborough Road next to the
proposed southwest library. She said that she had asked the Carrboro Board of
Aldermen last week not to rezone this property, but it was rezoned anyway. She asked
the County Commissioners to please work with the Town of Carrboro to seek alternate
sites for the southwest library. She said that her neighborhood has become an innocent
victim of politics and is not an appropriate place for a library.
Robert Dow lives in Carrboro and said that he had concerns about the siting of
this southwest library. He said that there should be publicly accessible information about
this. He said that there was no public input prior to the rezoning hearing. He said that
this library would bring significant traffic to Hillsborough Road.
Sam Gharbo lives in Efland. He said that the elected officials are here to serve
the residents, protect them, provide for them, inspire them, prevail for them, lead them,
persuade them, listen to them, and do right by them. He said that it was stunning to see
how often the County Commissioners do not get it. He said to Commissioner Foushee
that he wished he had been there at the last meeting because she got it and had that
"aha" moment. He said that she did exactly what her purpose at that meeting. He said
that he moved to Orange County and was forced to become involved in an issue that
should not have been an issue. He said that this body over the past two years has
made him look at how it functions or not, interacts with the public or not, how it listens or
not, and how it is inconsistent and disingenuous when dealing with matters. He hopes
that there will be change for the future.

Commissioner Yuhasz asked what areas need most improvement in relation to the
national standards.
Rosemary Summers said that Orange County needs to do better education on sexually
transmitted infections. The rate of these infections needs to be decreased. Another area is
low birth weight babies. This rate is not particularly out of the limit, it is higher than the national
benchmark. The third area is obesity prevention in children.
Commissioner Jacobs made reference to the 24% of people who are uninsured and
asked how UNC students are categorized. Rosemary Summers said that she does not know
how they are categorized in this survey, but it is now a requirement for all students to have
insurance.
Commissioner Jacobs said that it would be considerably higher if UNC students were
disaggregated.
Rosemary Summers said that there are a high number of small businesses in Orange
County and sometimes it is difficult for these businesses to provide insurance.
Commissioner Jacobs said that the Health Department provides services and
Rosemary Summers said that it is primarily for women and children.
Rosemary Summers said that the growing movement of community gardening will
make more access to healthy foods.
c. NCACC Outstandinq County Proqram Award for Oranqe County's

The Board and the Animal Services and Social Services Departments received a 2010
Outstanding County Program Award from the North Carolina Association of County
Commissioners for the County's Community Spay/Neuter Program as part of the celebration of
National County Government Month.
Animal Services Director Bob Marotto introduced Lisa Nolan, Outreach Coordinator with
the NCACC, who presented the award for the County's spayed and neuter program.
Lisa Nolan gave background on the award. She said that Orange County's program
was one of three winners in the Human Services category. She presented the award to Bob
Marotto and Nancy Coston.
d. Resolution Reqardinq Planned Uses of Revenues from a Potential One-
Quarter Cent (1/4�) County Sales and Use Tax
The Board considered approving a resolution outlining the intentions of the Orange
County Board of Commissioners regarding the use of the proceeds from a One-Quarter Cent
(1/4¢) County Sales and Use Tax, if approved by voters on November 8, 2011 and authorizing
the Chair to sign.
�
Frank Clifton said that from the last meeting the County Commissioners had staff draft
a resolution that implements the referendum date and uses, and it can be changed as needed.
There are joint meetings with the school boards coming up and the County Commissioners
may want to establish a more specific resolution.
Interim Assistant County Manager Michael Talbert said that the Board has been
discussing this issue for several months. There have been several public hearings on it. The
Board's discussion has revolved around a 50% allocation to economic development with a
variety of potential uses in that category. There is also 50% going to education and the Board
discussed the issue of older schools and technology as being the highest priorities. The staff
has taken the liberty to alert the school systems that this is something that the Board would like
to discuss. There is a meeting with the schools on April 26th. The financial impact of this tax
would be an estimated $2.5 million annually. If approved on November 8th, it would be
effective April 1, 2012. The Manager's recommendation is that the Board approves the
resolution.
Commissioner Jacobs recommended using the same language for the 50% funding for
the schools as is used for the 50% for economic development. He suggested the following
language: "50% of the funding will be allocated in an equitable manner between the county's
two school systems for the dedicated purpose of capital projects, including but not limited to
facility improvements at older schools and improvement of technology."
A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Foushee to
approve the amended resolution outlining the intentions of the Orange County Board of
Commissioners regarding the use of the proceeds from a One-Quarter Cent (1/4¢) County
Sales and Use Tax, if approved by voters on November 8, 2011 and authorize the Chair to
sign.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS
A Resolution Regarding Uses of Potential Revenues from a One-Quarter Cent (1/4¢)
County Sales and Use Tax
WHEREAS, there are significant pressing infrastructure, economic development, school, and
other County capital needs that are precipitated by growth pressures and the new economic
reality facing Orange County; and
WHEREAS, it is important to provide Orange County taxpayers with alternatives to the
pressure to raise property taxes to address these and other County needs; and
WHEREAS, the levy of a Article 46 one-quarter cent (1/4¢) County sales and use tax would
provide a new County revenue source and would generate approximately $2,500,000
annually for the County; and
WHEREAS, it is important for Orange County to plan for future economic development that
will enable the County to recruit, retain, grow, and generate businesses and jobs that are
desirable; and
WHEREAS, it is important that Orange County expand collaboration and cooperation of
economic development efforts and decisions between Orange County and the towns of
Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Hillsborough and the cities of Mebane and Durham; and
�
WHEREAS, it is important for Orange County to meet public school needs; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners establishes a +°n_� commitment of up to ten
years to allocate Article 46 one-quarter cent (1/4¢) County sales and use tax proceeds as
follows:
a. 50% of the funding will be allocated in an equitable manner between the County's two
school systems for the dedicated purpose of funding capital projects, including but
not limited to facility improvements at `older' schools and the procurement of
technology. The Board requests that each school system furnish the Board of
Commissioners with a detailed list of prioritized projects that could be completed with
anticipated funding over the next ten years. The Board will evaluate the projects and
approve a ten-year plan which will be incorporated into the County's Capital
Investment Plan. As part of the Capital Investment Plan annual review, progress will
be evaluated annually and adjustments made according to needs agreed upon by the
School Boards and Board of County Commissioners;
b. 50% of the funding will be allocated to Economic Development initiatives including but
not limited to: funding utility infrastructure needed to recruit and locate new
businesses, small business loans to help existing businesses expand, innovation
centers to provide space for new start-up businesses, funding support for the
County's agricultural businesses, and Business Investment Grants. The Board of
Commissioners will approve a ten-year Economic Development Plan as part of the
County's Capital Investment Plan; and
WHEREAS, if additional funding does not come from the one-quarter cent (1/4¢) County
sales and use tax, the property tax will be the primary funding source available for schools
and economic development initiatives; and
WHEREAS, to distinguish and separate the revenues produced through this '/4 cent sales
tax, if approved by Orange County voters, a Special Revenue Fund will be established to
receive and account for the sales tax revenue. These funds will remain separate from the
County's general fund to allow for more accurate tracking of revenues and expenditures in
accordance with initial ten-year allocation plan established as part of this resolution;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Orange County Board of Commissioners
hereby states its intent to use the revenues from the Article 46 one-quarter cent (1/4¢)
County sales and use tax, if approved by the voters of Orange County, for currently
unfunded or underfunded economic development and public school capital needs for a
period of ten years, with a scheduled implementation date of April 1, 2012.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT proceeds from the one-quarter cent (1/4¢) County
sales and use tax in later years will be used to address priorities as established by the
Board of Commissioners in the County's Capital Investment Plan.
This the 19t" day of April, 2011.

VOTE ON CONSENT AGENDA: UNANIMOUS
6. Items Removed From Consent Aqenda
h. Technoloqy Purchases
The Board considered approving 1) the purchase of 350 computers to replace aging
inventory; 2) the upgrade of another 350 computers with current operating systems and office
software; and 3) the purchase of a Storage Area Network device and authorizing the Financial
Services Department to execute the necessary paperwork.
Commissioner Jacobs said that he understands the need to keep technology updated
and he understands the purpose of this item. He said that this large of an expenditure of
money should not be on the consent agenda. He does not know how this relates to the
placeholder in the CIP and the overall strategy for improving technology in county government.
He said that this is a large ad hoc proposal and it makes him uncomfortable to be voting on
something this significant financially without having a context. He thought that this was worth
flagging.
Frank Clifton said that this is just a renewal of operating equipment and without making
the software changes, this becomes inefficient. The County has to catch up on the upgrades.
Chief Information Officer Todd Jones said that staff is seeking approval for three main
initiatives - replacement of older computers, upgrading operating system, and replacing the
data storage area. These three initiatives were included in the Strategic Technology Plan that
was originally developed in 2004. This has undergone at least three reiterations. He said that
the staff has met with the school systems to explore the possibility of collaborative purchases.
It has been found that there are no cost savings in doing so and the type of hardware needed
is different.
Commissioner Yuhasz said that the County Commissioners understand the need for
these replacements but the question is what they can and want to do through technology and
through this broader question, how this purchase fits into this larger picture.
Commissioner Foushee said that the County Commissioners understand the need, but
they want to know about the expectation to replace computers, similar to a CIP. The County
Commissioners want an Information Technology plan that the County Commissioners would be
aware of in advance.
Commissioner Gordon said that she supported what has been said and what the
County Commissioners are looking for is an Information Technology strategic plan. She would
like to vote on having an Information Technology strategic plan.
Commissioner Yuhasz said that County services are still on a client server basis as
opposed to a web based server. He said that there is a policy component to that decision.
This discussion needs to happen, in his opinion, before the County develops an IT strategic
plan.
Todd Jones said that the attempt that they have submitted before in their Information
Technology plan has been to try and address these issues, but it may be too voluminous. He
would welcome the opportunity to get a clear understanding of what the County
Commissioners want and do not want in the document.
Commissioner Jacobs said that he agrees with all of the County Commissioners'
comments. He thinks that the staff and Board of County Commissioners are talking past one
another and nobody is wrong. He thought that the County Commissioners said that they did
not find that the 130-page document addressed the needs. The framework has policy
implications and this is the County Commissioners'job. What has been missing is the County
�
Commissioners setting the priorities. An example is central permitting. He said that he has no
idea where this fits in IT.
Frank Clifton said that there needs to be a very detailed discussion. He said that the
problem is finding something that addresses the priorities.
Chair Pelissier said that she does not know the challenges of many departments. She
thinks that a number of people will have to get together to hash out the general ideas for a
strategic plan.
Commissioner Gordon said that there is a direction from the Board of County
Commissioners for this to be done.
A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Gordon that
staff brings back a scope of discussion for a strategic plan for Information Technology, both
within Orange County government and as it goes outward from Orange County government to
be discussed at a work session in the near future.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS
A motion was made by Commissioner Yuhasz, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to
approve the purchase of Lenovo computers, the Storage Area Network and software as
indicated; and authorize the Financial Services Department to execute the necessary
paperwork.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS

located in the northeastern part of Chapel Hill Township, at the corner of Murphey School
Road and Old NC 10.

Local Historic Landmark Designation
Seven Criteria to Evaluate Significance
1) Resource Type — National Register status; single building or complex
2) Age — buildings gain significance with age
3) Historic significance — association with famous person or event
4) Architectural significance — link to well-known architect; nationally popular style;
example of innovative construction technique
5) Environmental significance — does farm still look like a farmstead
6) Contributing factors — does property have other features that contribute to knowledge
of site, e.g. farm equipment, fountains, statues
7) Integrity— has the property changed or does it retain original features —windows,
doors, etc.
Common buildings gain significance as they get older if they retain their original features,
particularly as fewer examples survive.

The Orange County HPC uses seven criteria to evaluate the historic and architectural
significance of potential local landmarks and local historic districts: resource type, age,
historic significance, architectural significance, environmental significance, contributing
factors, integrity. While each property is unique, the systematic evaluation formula
combined with a multi-step review process ensures that all sites are assessed using a
consistent approach. The HPC scored the Murphey School highly on its historic site
evaluation form-69-74 out of a maximum of 100 during Dec 8th meeting.
Criteria A for its association with statewide efforts to improve education, and Criteria C for
its distinctive architecture.
Murphey School was designed by Henri Colvin Linthicum, a specialist in school design and
partner with his father in the architectural firm of Linthicum and Linthicum. It was named
for North Carolina's "Father of Public Education," Archibald D. Murphey.
The Murphey School building complex survives as a remarkably intact example of the
classical brick consolidated schools that were constructed throughout rural North Carolina
during the 1920s and 1930s. The main building was constructed in two parts. The original
classroom wing was constructed in 1923 and a large (almost stand-alone) auditorium was
constructed in 1936 along the west side of the original building so that the hallway of the
classroom wing leads directly into a side door near the auditorium's stage.
The building is particularly remarkable in that the original classroom wing displays elements
from the less common Spanish Revival Style, including stylized metal roof shingles
designed and painted to imitate terra cotta. The auditorium building is fronted with a
classical (temple-front) portico supported by colossal square columns. The original
teacherage, a circa 1923 one-and-one-half story frame bungalow, also survives on the site
along with the well house and water tower.
In NC, individual landmarks are eligible for a 50% property tax reduction
Local designation programs are a form of overlay zoning. Should the Murphey School
become designated properties are subject to design review—COA and demolition delay of
up to 365 days. HPC reviews COA in quasi-judicial format.
The Local Landmark Program and the National Register of Historic Places are two entirely
distinct and separate programs. Both offer honorary status to historic properties through a
formal designation process. The specific benefits of each program, however, are quite
different.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS DESIGNATING
THE PROPERTY KNOWN AS THE MURPHEY SCHOOL IN ORANGE COUNTY, NORTH
CAROLINA AS A LOCAL HISTORIC LANDMARK
Whereas, all of the prerequisites to the adoption of this ordinance prescribed in Part
3C, Article 19, Chapter 160A (Historic Districts and Landmarks) of the General Statutes of
North Carolina and an ordinance creating the Historic Preservation Commission of Orange
County (the "Historic Preservation Ordinance") have been met; and
Whereas, the Orange County Board of Commissioners has taken into full consideration

Orange County Historic Preservation Commission and presented to the Board of County
Commissioners on the 3�d day of March, 2011, on the question of designating the property
known as Murphey School as a historic landmark; and
Whereas, the property known as Murphey School, located in Chapel Hill Township in
the County of Orange and more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto, remains a
remarkably intact example of the classical brick consolidated schools that were constructed
throughout rural North Carolina during the 1920s and 1930s, and retains the original
teacherage, water tower, and some play equipment; and
Whereas, the original classroom wing displays elements of Spanish Revival design, a
less common form for consolidated schools, and the subsequent classical temple-front
auditorium was constructed with WPA funds; and
Whereas, Murphey School was designed by Henri Colvin Linthicum, a specialist in
school design and partner with his father in the architectural firm of Linthicum and Linthicum;
and
Whereas, Murphey School was named for North Carolina's "Father of Public

of the Historic Preservation Ordinance; and
�
Whereas, the Division of Archives and History of the North Carolina Department of
Cultural Resources has reviewed and commented on the findings of the Orange County
Historic Preservation Commission.
Now, therefore, be it obtained by the Board of County Commissioners of Orange
County, North Carolina that:

b. Inteqrated Supply Services Aqreement: Walker Automotive Supply, Inc.
�
The Board considered approving an integrated supply services agreement with Walker
Automotive Supply, Inc. for implementation of an on-site inventory program for fleet and
facilities and authorizing the Chair to sign.
Jeff Thompson from Asset Management presented this item and gave some
background information. Historically, Orange County's volume of purchases for fleet and
facilities inventory would not allow it to qualify for an on-site managed inventory program.
However, information technology advances have allowed the logistics and supply industries to
move away from an inventory heavy supply model to a less costly "on demand" model that can
support maintenance operations like Orange County's. this arrangement would allow the
implementation of a just-in-time inventory system, managed by Walker Automotive, Inc., to be
developed on the County's site.
Walker Automotive Supply, Inc. ("NAPA"), acting as the local Agent for NAPA and its
parent company, Genuine Parts Company (GPC), will provide on-site logistics and supply
support for Orange County's fleet and facilities maintenance operations located at 600
Highway 86 North in Hillsborough. WalkerAutomotive, Inc. will: 1) provide the inventory
supply specialist who will control these operations; 2) own and service the inventory housed
there; and 3) distribute the inventory from the County's location.
Orange County projects its estimated net annual savings to be between $20,000 and
$40,000 for automotive and facilities maintenance supplies due to lower cost per unit and more
efficient management of the inventory.
Commissioner Hemminger asked if they looked at other companies. Jeff Thompson
said no.
Frank Clifton said that one of the issues is that there is a software supply process.
Commissioner Foushee asked if any Orange County employee would be displaced and
Jeff said that one employee will be relocated to another department.
Commissioner Jacobs suggested working with the two school systems on
transportation and sharing this with them.
A motion was made by Commissioner Hemminger, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs
to approve an integrated supply services agreement with Walker Automotive Supply, Inc. for
implementation of an on-site inventory program for fleet and facilities and authorize the Chair
to sign.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS
c. Buckhorn-Mebane Economic Development Area Water and Sewer Desiqn
The Board considered an optional design alignment and sewer facility for Phase 2 of
the Buckhorn-Mebane Economic Development Area water and sewer infrastructure and
authorizing the County Manager to sign.
Craig Benedict said that Engineer Kevin Lindley is here tonight and the consultant from
Hobbs Upchurch was also present. Hobbs Upchurch Associates (HUA) is the consultant that
the County hired to do design work in the Buckhorn-Mebane corridor and also to do an
overview plan of some of the needs in the economic development district from Efland to
Mebane. He made reference to the map from the Efland area to Mebane (multi-colored).
The decision tonight is how to get the flow from the lift station on Buckhorn Road.
There are additional design costs when the gravity system is put in, but would only be $8,000
more.
Frank Clifton said that what staff did not want to do is put a force main in and then have
that area come forward for development and it not be enough. The gravity line costs more, but
it will be needed for a large-scale development.
�
Commissioner Jacobs echoed what the Manager said in the forward-thinking on this
issue. He asked why there is not a public hearing first before bringing this to the Board of
County Commissioners for a rezoning and putting in sewer.
Craig Benedict said that there was one community outreach meeting in March to bring
this area up to speed on this proposal. He said that the focus is still to put gravity sewer at
Gravelly Hill Middle School.
Commissioner Jacobs said that Orange County has an agreement with Mebane that
they are not going to move outside the economic development district. He asked if there was
any kind of agreement with Mebane that they will respect this same line the way that there is
an agreement with the EDD.
Craig Benedict said that staff is looking to expand the current agreement they have with
Mebane to include Area A and some other areas, and honoring the Bowman Road line for
water and sewer.
Commissioner Yuhasz said that it looks like the County is going to get a lot of design at
a basement price and he does not think a delay is necessary since this is only at the design
stage now.
Chair Pelissier concurred with Commissioner Yuhasz and said that she did attend the
community meeting. She said that a lot of people thought that Orange County did not own
land in Area A.
Craig Benedict said that there were some large landowners there that were very
positive.
Chair Pelissier asked how long the design process would take before construction.
Craig Benedict said that there would be two different design parts. One is a gravity
system in E1. The contract has some things unfolding by September or October of this year.
Commissioner Gordon said that outreach meetings are useful but they do not take the
place of a public hearing. She thinks the Board should follow the usual process of having a
public hearing first.
Commissioner Jacobs said that he thinks the County needs to be clearer with the public
and to let them know this is only the design phase and not a decision to proceed. Also, this
will happen in phases, and the second phase of design will not even take place until after the
public hearing. He thinks that the County Commissioners are not making any commitment yet
that precludes public comment.
Commissioner McKee agreed that this is talking about design and not moving forward
without a public hearing.
A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Foushee to
approve design Option 2 to add a `backbone' gravity sewer to 423 acres; direct staff (Attorney,
Planning, Financial Services) to initiate any contract amendment necessary; authorize the
County Manager to sign the contract amendment; and authorize staff to begin necessary Land
Use Plan amendments.
VOTE: Ayes, 6; No, 1 (Commissioner Gordon)
Commissioner Jacobs asked to please communicate to the public these points about
the process.
Frank Clifton said that staff will emphasize that the County Commissioners have
authorized the design only.
9. Reports
a. Reqional and Local Transportation Planninq Initiatives
The Board received an overview of ongoing transit planning activities.
�
Craig Benedict said that this has been an ongoing report that comes to the Board in
various forms. There are various initiatives. House Bill 148 allows Orange, Durham, and
Wake Counties to proceed with a funding mechanism for light rail or some alternative in the
region. This could include bus rapid transit and regular bus service. There is an alternatives
analysis that is being headed by Triangle Transit and its consultant, URS. There is also the
Orange County Transit Plan, which includes areas in Durham County because there will be a
linkage and a cost-sharing mechanism between Orange County and Durham County. With the
monies that are projected to be left over from a light rail project in the Durham/Orange area,
staff is looking at what type of bus services could be provided to enhance the future light rail
public transit system. As part of that discussion, a meeting has been held with Durham City
and County officials about the cost-sharing mechanism. There has been one meeting so far,
but no determinations have been made about which option is better.
Chair Pelissier said that this is just providing a general update on the process and they
will bring specifics forward after these decisions are made by the elected officials group. The
question is where to draw the boundaries. The other thing is will the type of model allow them
to have the type of enhanced bus service that is needed.
Commissioner Foushee said that she has nothing to add since the Chair covered the
highlights, but the County cannot sell this plan to Orange County unless it works for Orange
County.
Commissioner Gordon provided some additional information about the plan. She
reiterated that this plan for bus service and rail service has to be acceptable to residents in all
parts of Orange County.
Commissioner Jacobs asked about the vehicle registration fee and how the Triangle
Regional program will address public transportation for people that do not live in Chapel Hill or
in urban areas.
Chair Pelissier said that this is the crux that they are talking about for this plan. If there
were a limited amount of hours according to some of the scenarios for the light rail, it would not
meet the needs because it would only be enhancing services in the urban areas.
Craig Benedict made reference to the timeline and said that he would send an email
about this to everyone. Originally the light rail plan was supposed to be available in March, but
this has shifted. The final financial model for this will probably not be ready for another month.
Chair Pelissier said that, regardless of what is decided about a sales tax referendum,
the County is doing the work that it needs to do, which is to come up with an Orange County
Transit Plan that interfaces with the Durham County Transit Plan. She thinks that a lot of
progress has been made.
Commissioner Jacobs said that, based on this timetable, the Board of County
Commissioners will vote on putting a %2-cent sales tax on the referendum along with the '/4-cent
sales tax and Chair Pelissier said that this is a possibility.
10. County Manaqer's Report
Frank Clifton said that the Town of Carrboro voted to approve the rezoning of the
property which the County has the option to put a library on. There is a 120-day extension
timeframe. The staff is pursuing the normal due diligence. No timeframe has been
established, but it is up to the County Commissioners. The deadline for deciding on whether
or not to purchase the property is August 17tn
The second issue is the State budget process. School funding is an issue that is on
the table. Lottery proceeds seem to be the primary criteria. The other impacts to the County
that are direct are the misdemeanor housing issues.
�
He said that the County budget process is on schedule. The goal is to attempt to
bring a budget based on maintaining the existing tax rate.

13. Board Comments
Commissioner McKee said that he is concerned about considering a land purchase for
a future southwest branch library before they have a discussion on the level of support for the
main library and before there is a discussion on the support given to the Town of Chapel Hill
library.
Commissioner Foushee — none.
Commissioner Hemminger said that there are a lot of water issues coming up. Also,
regarding the Home Trust, Orange County is the only entity that has not endorsed increasing
the income level for the Community Home Trust. She would like to discuss this item as soon
as possible.
Commissioner Yuhasz said that an interim health director has been identified and the
contract is being negotiated currently. Also, recent State legislation has required that local
management entities for mental health are going to be required to merge if their service area is
less than 300,000, which is what OPC is. The director is currently negotiating with another
LME for that merger. The Board will be required to signal the intent to approve the merger and
dissolve OPC. The local LME's were given until May 20th of this year to either find a merger
partner or have one assigned to them.
Commissioner Jacobs said that it would be useful information for elected officials and
the General Assembly as to the fiscal impact of having a 15% cut at UNC. The Chancellor is
talking about cutting positions and cutting programs. This is the County's largest employer.
Commissioner Jacobs made reference to the southwest library branch and said that
he would like to see the Board get the information that was presented to Carrboro because he
has not seen it.
He said that there was a nice opening event at Fairview Park. He said that there is no
sign on US 70 that indicates that the park is there. Frank Clifton said that there is a sign there,
but it is not very big. Commissioner Jacobs asked to make a bigger sign if possible.
Commissioner Gordon said that the Transportation Advisory Committee discussed the
Triangle Regional Transit Program. Karen Lincoln will be making a short report on the meeting
in the near future. She also reported on the Bus-On-Shoulders project for I-40.
Commissioner Gordon said that the Intergovernmental Parks Work Group met
recently, and discussed recreation programming and other issues.
Commissioner Yuhasz said that he understands that the Town of Hillsborough is
moving forward with the wayfinding signage.
John Roberts made reference to the southwest library and the promises made to Carrboro and
said that Carrboro's officials were told that staff there did not have the authority to agree to
meet conditions or to make specific promises, because the Board of County Commissioners
would have to agree to any specific conditions. They were told to avoid a repeat of past
problems and no promises were made, but only to commit to work with the Town to address
the Town's concerns.
�
Chair Pelissier made reference to the LME's and said that she understands that there
will be a presentation because the merger does a Medicaid waiver, which is a different way of
doing business.
Regarding the '/4-cent sales tax referendum, she and Commissioner Yuhasz are
beginning to reach out to various groups to talk to them about how to support the referendum.
