Chair Jacobs called the meeting to order at 7:01 p.m.
1. Additions or Chanqes to the Aqenda
NONE
PUBLIC CHARGE
Chair Jacobs dispensed with the reading of the public charge.
2. Public Comments
a. Matters not on the Printed Aqenda
Don O'Leary questioned how society has gotten so deep that there is even discussion
about why we are putting industrial chemical waste into our water supply in the form of fluoride.
He said this is a result of government deception and evil influence. He read from the Bible.
He said it is the leaders' responsibility to take care of the people. He asked for this issue to be
put on a public hearing.
Corey Stumer said he wanted to respond Colleen Bridger's response to their comments
about OWASA fluoridation in their water. He said Colleen Bridger's email to the Board of
County Commissioners and public recommending that OWASA continue drugging the
population through their water supply. He said he has informed her of where the propaganda
of safety and efficacy of fluoridation comes from, but she continues to repeat the mantra of
safety and effectiveness. He said the FDA has never approved the ingestion of fluoride as
being safe and effective in preventing tooth decay, and the truth about this policy is available
to anyone on the web. He said there is sufficient evidence to abandon this fluoridation policy,
and Colleen Bridger has made no effort to address with any specificity the questions and
statements posed last month. He said she has deferred this to the OWASA board, who has
then deferred to other state bureaucracies to avoid liability. He said this issue deserves a
public referendum.
Chair Jacobs said petitions are referred to agenda review. He noted that the Board of
County Commissioners has no control of anyone's water supply, and he suggested that the
comments and requests for public hearing might be better directed to the Board of Health.
b. Matters on the Printed Aqenda
(These matters will be considered when the Board addresses that item on the agenda
below.)
3. Petitions by Board Members
Commissioner Price said one of Orange County's residents will be receiving an award
from the N.C. Literary Hall of Fame, Jaki Shelton Green, and she would like the Board to
recognize the recipient with a personally signed letter or resolution.
Commissioner Price said the there was a request that the Board of County
Commissioners recognize the County's volunteer firefighters, and she suggested something
similar to what Chapel Hill has done.
Commissioner Rich petitioned Chair Jacobs to write a letter to United Healthcare
demanding that it cease supporting the decisive polices of the American Legislative Exchange
Council (ALEC). She said several companies have recently divorced themselves from ALEC
due to their negative, regressive policies.
Commissioner Rich said she would like to see other options for healthcare providers.
Commissioner Rich said there were 90 people at the first Food Policy Council meeting.
She said the first thing that can be done is for the County to have ten percent of its catering
needs come from local growers.
Chair Jacobs said there is already a policy in place to insure that ten percent of catering
comes from local growers.
Donna Baker said this was referred to Dave Stancil, and a list was being compiled of
local caterers.
Chair Jacobs petitioned that the Attorney re-examine how contract vendors can be
requested to pay a living wage.
Chair Jacobs said there was a recent news story about how Chapel Hill has approved
funding for families who have lost section 8 vouchers. He would like to know why Orange
County is not working with these families. He said people have not gotten the message that
the County has a social justice fund that can be used to help these people. He would like to
find a way to plug into these conversations.
4. Proclamations/ Resolutions/ Special Presentations
a. Arts & Humanities Month —2014 Piedmont Laureate Carrie J. Knowles
The Board heard a brief selection from Raleigh resident and author of short Fiction,
Carrie J. Knowles, the 2014 Piedmont Laureate, for National Arts & Humanities Month.

7. Reqular Aqenda
a. Next Generation 9-1-1 Solution (8:15-9:00)
The Board considered approving the purchase of the Next Generation 9-1-1 Solution to
provide a service that is integrated, operated and maintained to the public safety class
standards demanded of a life-critical application and authorizing the Manager to sign.
Jim Groves introduced Dinah Jeffries and Kevin Medlin. He reviewed the following
information from the abstract:
Since 1992, Orange County has utilized Enhanced 9-1-1 (E9-1-1) that represented a
significant improvement in 9-1-1 service by providing the telecommunicator with the name and
address of landline callers. Today, the technology has broadened its capabilities to provide a
geographic location that identifies the latitude and longitude coordinates for wireless callers.
The County is now poised to make another significant technology jump due to consumer
expectations and major world events by allowing residents, visitors, and responders to utilize
texting, imaging and video capture to 9-1-1 as well as providing a faster connection to 9-1-1
through digital connections. NextGen 9-1-1 (NG911) will use Internet Protocol (IP) based
hardware and software to provide call identification, location determination, call routing, and
call signaling for emergency calls.
NG911 capable public safety answering points (PSAPs) can receive and process incoming
calls by means of IP-based networks called Emergency Services IP Networks (ESlnets). This
network architecture will support many more modes of emergency communication than the
voice-centric legacy system currently in use. ESlnets are designed not only to receive
traditional 911 voice calls, but also to receive text, data, and video communications from any
communications device via lP-based networks. In addition, ESlnets can be configured to
receive machine-generated data from telematics applications (e.g., automatic collision
notification systems in vehicles provided by vendors like OnStar), medical alert systems, and
sensors and alarms of various types. In contrast to the device-specific connection protocols in
legacy 9-1-1 networks for wire-line, wireless, and interconnected VoIP phones, NG911 will
provide IP-enabled devices with multiple means of accessing the NG911 network depending
on whether they are operating in a stationary or mobile configuration.
In order to achieve this milestone identified in the Emergency Services Workgroup
recommendations for continuing to upgrade equipment to move towards the Next Generation
initiatives, staff is recommending the selection of Motorola to partner with Intrado to provide the
Next Generation Solution for Orange County. On May 8, 2014, the Board of County
Commissioners approved the Orange County Emergency Services Strategic Plan that included
the need to prepare, develop and implement a solution that goes beyond the current
technology to reinforce and integrate with a nationwide vision in providing public safety
solutions to the public and responders.
The County's current vendor, Qwest (formerly known as CenturyLink), has been unable to
provide a proposal and solution to move into this critical phase. For the past several years
Qwest (CenturyLink) has experienced a declining level of customer service and response to 9-
1-1 service related issues, including service outages which many of the 9-1-1 Centers across
North Carolina have reported to the NC 9-1-1 Board.
Staff is recommending this switch in vendors to Intrado/Motorola because of Intrado's subject
matter expertise in providing 9-1-1 solutions as well as the County's long-term and successful
relationship with Motorola. UNC Public Safety has recently contracted with Motorola/Intrado as
well. Having the same vendor and network infrastructure will enable the County 9-1-1 Center to
transfer information to UNC seamlessly, and vice versa. Intrado and Motorola have both been
extremely responsive and proactive in identifying issues from other states and providing
solutions that will work in North Carolina, specifically in Orange County.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed NG911 Solution is an eligible expense from the North
Carolina 9-1-1 Board Emergency Telephone Fund (ETF). The ETF is derived from the monthly
911 service charge that is imposed on each active voice communications service connection
(land and mobile) that is capable of accessing a 911 system. The North Carolina 9-1-1 Board
makes a monthly distribution to the primary PSAP (Orange County 9-1-1) from the pre-
designated amount allocated to the County each year. This expense is covered under the
annual ETF allocation and is not borrowed money or a loan.
Orange County One Time setup fee: $22,246.00
Orange County Recurring Payment: $25,789.92
Total Customer Sale Price over 60 months: $1,585,654.53
It is noted that the monthly expense for NG911 is substantially more than in previous years.
The increase is due to the network(s) required to support text and video to 9-1-1, as well as
added features and capabilities, such as transferring Automatic Number and Automatic
Location Identifiers (ANI/ALI) to another community or county, which increases efficiency and
provides better customer service for the 9-1-1 caller, and the County's stakeholders.
Chair Jacobs asked Jim Groves to clarify where the Emergency Telephone Funds
(ETF) are derived from.
Jim Groves said these phones will have an attached 911 service fee, and all of this
goes to the 911 board at the state level. He said the board then looks at the primary public
safety answering points and allocates money based on the previous year's spending. He said
this fee is already being paid by residents of N.C.
Commissioner Pelissier said she would like to hear some examples of how information
is received from medical alert systems.
Jim Groves said these medical alert systems now work off of a GPS location, and this
information can come directly into the 911 system.
Commissioner Rich asked for information on the advantage of having video.
Jim Groves said if telecommunicators can see what is going on, this information can be
shared with responders and law enforcement. He said this is seen as something for the future.
Commissioner Gordon asked how home alarm systems work now versus how they
would work with Next Generation.
Jim Groves said things would be very similar. He said these calls go to a central
monitoring agency who determines if there is truly a fire before calling the 911 center. He said
the preference is to keep this the same.
Commissioner Gordon asked if there is any difference in the data that is provided.
Dinah Jeffries said the difference is that alarm companies can transfer information to
the 911 system by computer now. She said with Next Generation 911 videos can be sent from
the home, and the current system can't receive that.
Chair Jacobs said stickers are put on the windows of homes stating that animals are
inside the house. He asked if this information can be pre-loaded into the system.
Dinah Jeffries said this information can be pre-loaded now, but it would be helpful if
there is an actual video, so that responders can see the location of people or animals in the
house.
Commissioner Rich asked how will people know to send a text message rather than
calling.
Jim Groves said there would be a very robust public relations campaign to introduce
this.
Commissioner Rich said it is important to include the school boards in this educational
process. She said she can see this texting being abused if people don't understand what a
911 call is.
Chair Jacobs asked if every county fully funds their 911 centers.
Jim Groves said he does not know that answer, but he can research this.
Chair Jacobs questioned whether towns participate in the funding. He said he does not
think every County takes on the full funding responsibility, and he wonders if counties that
include a municipality share the funding responsibility.
Commissioner porosin asked if this is related to the radios and the communication
issues the Board heard about last week.
Jim Groves said these systems are separate.
Commissioner porosin asked for clarification on the costs to the County versus the cost
born by the 911 Emergency Telephone Fund.
Jim Groves said all of this funding comes out of the 911 Emergency Telephone Fund.
Clarence Grier said the emergency 911 fund currently contains approximately
$1,126,000, and this is part of the total budget, but it is not part of the general funds budget.
Commissioner Rich asked if this fund gets replenished every year.
Clarence Grier said yes, it is typically replenished about $500,000 per year.
A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Pelissier for
the Board to approve the purchase of the Next Generation 9-1-1 Solution to provide a service
that is integrated, operated and maintained to the public safety class standards demanded of a
life-critical application and authorize the Manager to sign all contracts, agreements, change
orders and renewals.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS
b. Southern Oranqe County Government Services Campus Special Use Permit)
The Board considered authorizing the Chair to execute the Special Use Permit
governing the Southern Orange County Government Services Campus issued by the Town of
Chapel Hill.
Jeff Thompson said the master plan is included in the agenda packet. He reviewed the
following information from the abstract:
In June of this year Chapel Hill Town Council voted unanimously to approve Orange County's
SUP for a master plan for the Southern Orange County Government Services Campus.
Background: On October 16, 2012 the Board of County Commissioners approved a
Master Plan (Attachment 1, "Approved Master Plan") regarding the Southern Orange County
Government Services Campus and authorized the Manager to submit a Special Use Permit
("SUP") application to the Town of Chapel Hill to govern development on the County's property
over a 25 year period. This SUP allows future development to follow the Board's intent within
the approved Master Plan without multiple additional SUP approvals as future building projects
are contemplated and built. The master plan and SUP application process was facilitated by
Clarion Associates of Chapel Hill, NC.
On June 23, 2014 the Town Council of Chapel Hill voted unanimously to approve the Special
Use Permit (Attachment 2, "Chapel Hill Special Use Permit"). The SUP has been executed by
Chapel Hill and awaits signature by the Chair. Upon the Chair's signature, the SUP will be
recorded with the Orange County Register of Deeds.
Highlights of the SUP are as follows:
• Any contemplated construction on the site must begin by June 23, 2019. The approved
SUP has a 25-year life, expiring on June 23, 2039;
• The SUP allows up to 300,000 square feet of floor area (61,750 square feet already exist),
and up to 600 new parking spaces (258 already exist) on the approximate 33.2 acre site;
• The SUP requires the clustering of buildings to achieve walkability, visibility, and connections
while maximizing the preservation of undisturbed areas;
• Recordation of the SUP document will consolidate all previously approved Special Use
Permits for this site, and replace those with this singular document;
• Town staff is authorized to approve plans and issue permits in accordance with this SUP
— no further approvals needed from Town Council;
• Prior to any construction, the Chapel Hill Community Design Commission needs to approve
building elevations, site lighting, and the location/screening of HVAC equipment;
• Orange County must provide a progress update to the Town Council every five years (the
first update will be scheduled during the fall of 2019); and
• The Traffic Impact Analysis will need to be updated in 2020 and 2030.
Jeff Thompson said this converges three existing SUP's — Southern Human Services
Center, Project Home Start, and the Seymour Center— into one set of development guidelines.
Commissioner Gordon said she is glad this has come to fruition. She said this is a key
part of the County's ability to provide services in the southern part of the County. She referred
to the map and asked about changes to the road in the development area of the Seymour
Center. She asked if it is understood that additions can be made to the roads around the
Seymour Center and the Southern Human Services Center.
Ken Redfoot said yes. He said the additions and modifications are included in the
number. He said this is addressed in the overall document.
Commissioner Gordon thanked staff for this. She said this process has taken a long
time, but this is a fabulous opportunity to put all County functions on one campus in the
southern part of the county.
Commissioner Pelissier echoed Commissioner Gordon's comments. She asked what
constitutes beginning construction, and what this really means.
Jeff Thompson said there will be a permitting process through the community design
committee to receive a building permit and begin clearing the land. He said the infrastructure
project in 2015-16 would constitute the beginning of construction.
Commissioner Rich asked where the maximum height of 4 stories came from.
Ken Redfoot said this was determined while working with the Town staff. He said the
County gave them options, and elevations were done across the site. He said everyone
concluded that four stories was the best height.
Commissioner Price asked if this is also tied to the capabilities of fire trucks.
Ken Redfoot said that was not a consideration.
A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Rich for the
Board to authorize the Chair to execute the Special Use Permit governing the Southern
Orange County Government Services Campus issued by the Town of Chapel Hill.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS
Commissioner McKee noted that this approval allows this to be included in the space
study project.
8. Reports-NONE
9. County Manaqer's Report
Bonnie Hammersley said her report includes a list of items for the next work session,
and she invited comments and questions.
Commissioner porosin asked if this is in an email. He questioned how he can
comment without having the information in the packet.
Bonnie Hammersley said purpose was just to show the titles of the item and not the
content for their information. She said this list of items is included on the agenda face sheet
for the Manager's report.
Commissioner McKee said future work session items are discussed in agenda review,
and sometimes items are moved around. He said the purpose of this is just to give everyone a
heads up about what is forthcoming at that work session.
Commissioner Gordon said there is a three month rolling calendar, although it might not
always be up to date. She said this list gives a little window on the most recent projection.
Bonnie Hammersley said that is correct.
Commissioner Gordon said she appreciates this list, as well as the rolling calendar.

12. Board Comments
Commissioner Rich thanked the team that put together the free mammogram program
for County employees.
Commissioner Pelissier said she and Commissioner Price attended the Justice and
Public Safety NCACC Committee meeting. She said a number of the goals from Orange
County were included and will be forwarded. She said two of these were referred for study.
She said, for future reference, she would like the clerk to remind the Commissioners to talk to
staff in order to be fully informed about the details. She said these items may not have been
referred if she and Commissioner Price had been briefed and been able to answer questions.
Commissioner Pelissier said there was tie vote on the issue of the right to regulate
guns in parks, and this failed. She said she tried to argue that this was not something all
counties would be asked to do, but this was to allow counties to right to decide for themselves,
but it did not move forward.
Commissioner porosin said last week the 4th circuit of appeals issued an injunction to
prevent two parts of the new voting law from going into effect. He said same day registration
during the early voting period has been restored, and out of precinct ballot counting has been
restored. He said this is a great victory for the people. He suggested checking with the Board
of Election to see what is being done in light of this change, in terms of getting information out
to the voters.
Chair Jacobs said the district court judge asked for the State Board of Elections to
come back to him with a plan for how these changes will be implemented.
Commissioner McKee recognized the Little Free Library at Cedar Grove, which was just
dedicated. He deferred to Commissioner Price for further comment.
Commissioner Gordon said the Strategic Communications Plan work group is
continuing to meet and the group will try to tie things together for the Commissioner's meeting
in November.
Commissioner Gordon said the Intergovernmental Parks Work Group will meet
tomorrow, and she is happy to say that all of the jurisdictions that needed to approve the
coordinated use of school facilities for recreation have done so.
Commissioner Price said one of the County goals regarding reimbursement for
misdemeanants will be looked at by staff and re-submitted to the NCACC staff. She said
there was some confusion regarding terminology.
Commissioner Price said two of the advisory board applications are out of date, and it
might be helpful to ask people for updated information when they are reapplying.
Commissioner Price said the Little Free Library was donated to Cedar Grove Park, and
the dedication was a nice event. She thanked staff for their efforts in making this happen.
Chair Jacobs said the State of the Environment event is being held on Saturday
October 11 th. He said the dedication of Riverwalk is happening that same day.
Chair Jacobs said there has been one meeting of the Solid Waste Advisory Group
since the Board last met. He said there is another meeting on Thursday and there will be two
attendees from the University and the hospital.
Chair Jacobs said it is his inclination to recommend that he, Commissioner Price, and
Commissioner porosin would serve on the retreat planning committee. He said the clerk
needs to know if this is the desire of the Board.
There was consensus from the Board on this.
