PURPOSE: To consider three changes in the County Commissioners' regular meeting
calendar for 2013.
BACKGROUND: Pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 153A -40, the Board of County
Commissioners must fix the time and place of its meetings or provide a notice of any change in
the Regular Meeting Schedule by:
• Changing the BOCC Regular meeting from December 17, 2013 TO December 10, 2013,
and this meeting will be held at the Southern Human Services Center, 2501 Homestead
Road, Chapel Hill, N.C.
• Changing the location of the February 12, 2013 BOCC Work Session FROM Southern
Human Services Center TO the Link Government Services Center, 200 South Cameron
St., Hillsborough.
Staff is requesting this change because the agenda for the Work Session will include the
discussion of four County facilities located in Hillsborough. First, the opportunity to
renovate the Whitted Building for a Board Meeting Room /Arts Performance Place.
Second, the possibility of a stand -alone BOCC meeting facility at the current Government
Services Annex location. Third, the possible relocation of the Board of Elections to the
Link Government Services Center. Fourth, planned maintenance and repair
expenditures for Fiscal Year 2013/2014 at the Environment & Agriculture Center and
alternatives for the highest and best use of the facility. All Board members have not
likely seen all of these facilities. Asset Management Services would like to provide the
opportunity for a tour of the facilities before the scheduled work session for new or
current Board members that would like to see these facilities before the Work Session.
Decisions regarding the future uses of these facilities will impact the 2013 -18 Capital
Investment Plan.
• Changing the March 12, 2013 BOCC Work Session FROM Link Government Services
Center TO Southern Human Services Center, 2501 Homestead Road, Chapel Hill (since
the February 12, 2013 Work Session would be moved from Southern Human Services
Center to Link Government Services Center and staff tries to balance the number of
meetings between Chapel Hill and Hillsborough).
RECOMMENDATION (S): The Manager recommends the Board amend its regular meeting
calendar for 2013 by:
• Changing the BOCC Regular meeting from December 17, 2013 TO December 10, 2013,
and this meeting will be held at the Southern Human Services Center, 2501 Homestead
Road, Chapel Hill, N.C.
