BACKGROUND: The Board of Commissioners scheduled this public hearing to receive comments from the public about proposed legislation that will be submitted in 1994 for consideration by the North Carolina General Assembly. The Commissioners are proposing three pieces of local legislation: 1) A bill that would enable the County to acquire and make available property for use by a school district, and thus acquire or construct school facilities through installment purchase arrangements. 2) Addition of Orange County to a list of jurisdictions authorized by existing State legislation to sell products from the County' s computerized Geographic Information System (GIS) to the public at reasonable cost - with the stipulation that purchasers of such data may not resell the data or use it for trade or commercial purposes. 3) A bill that would make it unnecessary for the Board of Commissioners to approve pyrotechnic displays sanctioned by the University of North Carolina that are conducted on University property. The public hearing is intended to provide the Orange County legislative delegation to the North Carolina General Assembly with an indication of the degree of support or opposition there may be to any particular piece of legislation. The County will report to Orange County legislators concerning the results of the public hearing in conjunction with submission of the proposed legislation. RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board conduct the public hearing.
