3. 6/2/08 Chatham County Resolution
Adopting a Policy for Mutual
Assistance with Other Law
Enforcement Agencies
PURPOSE: To approve the attached resolution updating the 1985 Resolution Adopting a Policy
for Mutual Assistance with Other Law enforcement Agencies, which allows the Sheriff's
Department to enter into mutual assistance agreements with other law enforcement agencies to
provide temporary assistance as needed.
BACKGROUND: North Carolina General Statutes §§ 160A-288 and 160A-288.2 allow county
law enforcement agencies to enter into mutual aid agreements with the Board of County
Commissioners' authorization. Once obtained, the Sheriff's Department may temporarily
provide assistance to another agency if the assistance is requested in writing by the head of the
other agency. The Sheriff's Department is then authorized to loan officers (including in an
undercover capacity), equipment, and supplies.
Although an officer on loan is subject to the lawful operational commands of superior officers in
the requesting agency, such officer remains under the control of his or her employing agency for
administrative and personnel purposes, including pay.
Given the reciprocal nature of any agreements into which the Sheriff enters, the Orange County
Sheriff's Department will benefit from the ability to request assistance as needed from other law
enforcement agencies.
2
The updates to the Resolution include the following: citing the appropriate General Statute
sections and defining the maximum time period during which the Sheriff's Office may lend an
officer, equipment, or supplies.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with consideration of the
resolution.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the attached
resolution updating the November 19, 1985 resolution and authorize the Chair to sign the
resolution.

(A ecapl.ete copy of the report is in the permanent agenda file in the Clerk's
office.)
Kern emVent presented an overview of the report. At the
gnvira mmental.Management meeting to be held in December, the level of Instream
flow requirement will be dismissed. in' the short term, action needs to - be
taken by the Board with regard to issues relating to take orange. Orange -
Alamanee corporation needs to address those issues relating to Corporation
Lake and the Town of Hillsborough needs to address those issues relating to
Lake Ben Johnson.
In answer to a concern from Cow' toner Marshall, Thotpeon
indicated that raising Lake Orange two feet would not have any Impact on the
property in that area.
Ccummissioner Marshall stressed the need for a task force with
representatives from O ASA, Orange- Alamance, Orange comity and Hillsborough to
review the reoamnendations in the report and take into account what DEN may
decide at their meeting in December and come up with a abort range proposal.
Thongsoo clarified that at the present time 2.2 million gallons is
available with 1.9 being used leaving 300,000 as the excess capacity per day.
With modifications as outlined in the report, a total capacity of 3.5 or 4
million gallons per day would be available.
Chair willhoit noted that policy decisions need to be made in order
to implement those provisions which would provide for the maxix mnoutput from
the existing reservoirs. Policies need to be worked out whereby Orange
Alamance will seek other water supplies and not increase the transfer out of
county which is foie at the present time. Also, the Town of Hillsborough
needs to consider policies for establishing a rate structure which will
provide enough capital to increase the future water supply as needed.
It was the consensus of the Board to reactivate the Water Resource
committee and to formulate and bring back to the Board the policy issues that
need to be addressed immediately.

Amend Section zV by adding
section Iv-$-9 wa *shed Pr ertion Standards
In every subdivision, provision shall be made for the protection of
water supply watersheds of regional importawe. Lwxb Which are
within the boundaries of such watersheds shall be subdivided and
developed only after proper provision is made for the preservation '
of vegetative buffers adjacent to streams draining to existing or
proposed reservoir sites and the first one-half (1 1/2) inch of .•.
stormwater runoff from =pervious surfaces is infiltrated into the
soil.
1V- B-9- a.� +��hi7i±v
Water supply watersheds requiring special protective measures
include all property located within the Neese and cape Fear River
basins outside the zoned portions of water supply watersheds r•
designated in the
in all new subdivision located within a water supply watershed of
regional importance, the preliminary and/or final plat of such
subdivisions may not be approved unless strum buffers are provided
in acoordance with the following standards:
1) Stream buffers shall be provided along all perennial stream
within or bordering new subdivisions. Perennial streams are
defined as those streams, creeks or other drainagaMs
indicated by a solid blue line on U.S. Geodetic Survey
quadrangle maps for Orange County.
2) The stream buffer shall be measured from the edge of stream
banks for a distance of fifty (SO) feet therefrom and shall be
provided along both sides of all perennial streams.
3) Within the stream: buffer, land shall be retained in its
natural state. However, disturbance to existing
forested /vegetated areas may be allowed when replaced with
vegetation resulting in oarparable stormwater runoff velocity
and quantity within one (1) year from the date of
installation. Where a buffer area is subject to serious
erosion, an erasion resistant vegetative cover shall be
established and maintained.
4) public wd private streets, bridges and railroad rights- of-way
shall be penaitted to cross buffer areas, but they shall enter
and exit such areas as nearly perpen3icular to them as
possible. The direct discharge of runoff through ditches,
000~82
shall be, controlled through infiltrations, retention or
detention structures, and diversion devices.
ly_gry.C. infiltratiW M=Aards
For all new subdivisions, the preliminary and/or final plat may not
be approved unless provision has been made for controlling the
first one -half (312) inch of stormwater runoff from impervious
surfaces. bperviaus surfaces are those areas which prevent
infiltration of water into the soil and include parking areas,
roads, sidewalks, and other similar facilities constructed of
aspbalt and/or concrete.
Control of stormwater runoff shall be accceplisbed insofar as
possible through on -site infiltration of the first ane-half (1/2)
inch of runoff and through the use of methods which rely on natural
soil properties for absorption and treatment-. Infiltration
teCbn=p" not only remove both suspended and dissolved pollutants,
but they require less maintenance, reduce flooding' prcmate
grcundwater recharge and help maintain stream flow during dry
periods.
Where, due to soil type, steep slopes, presence of flood plains,
highly erodible soils, vegetative cover and/or previous land
disturbances, infiltration is impractical, the following
alternative measures may be permitted:
1) Flow attenuation methods, such as grass swales, to reduce
runoff velocity and filter out pollutants.
2) Retention ponds which capture stoL7lwater runoff allow
suspended pollutants to settle out and release the runoff at
reduced -rates.
3) Retention ponds with no outlet structures which retain all
runoff until it infiltrates or evaporates.
Where or -site infiltration methods are utilized, areas for such
purposes shall be designated on the plat and shall remain
undisturbed both during and after construction. Undisturbed areas
for infiltration of runoff shall also be located downslope from
impervious surfaces and shall not include areas characterized by
floodplains, highly erodible or impervious soils, steep slopes or
previously disturbed areas. Areas designated as suitable for
septic tank nitrification fields may not be used for storttaater
infiltration purposes. Runoff from roads, parking lots arrVor
sidewalks shall be directed to undisturbed areas through the use of
beams, grassed diversion ditches or swales, or other acceptable
MUM.

own*NCB nanwII'T m :
An impervious surface is a surface composed of any material
which inpedes or prevents the natural infiltration of•water
into the soil. Such surfaces shall include any concrete or
asphalt surface. These would include, but not be limited to,
streets and parking areas, sidewalks, patios " structures
which cover the land. As a watershed bey developed the
amount of impervious surface increases causing a decrease in
soil absorption of stormwater runoff and an increase in

An impervious surface is a surface composed of any
material which impedes or prevents• the natural
infiltration of water into the soil. Such surfaces
shall include, but not be limited to, streets and
parking areas, sidewalks, patios and structures which
cover the land. As a watershed becomes developed the
amount of impervious surface increases causing a
decrease in soil absorption of stormrater runoff and an
increase in direct runoff to streams and other water
bodies resulting in an increase in potential water
pollution.
