Pete Hallenbeck's second term expires on March 31 as well but, since he has served two terms, he is not eligible for reappointment. However, the Planning Board recently elected him to be Chair again in case the BOCC wants to wait until next year to appoint someone to his position (Tina Love indicated at the Feb. Planning Board meeting that someone can continue to serve up to one year past their term expiration date; it's apparently in the Rules & Procedures...). I don't know if you want to pass this information on to the BOCC. But if there is not interest in allowing Pete to continue on, his position will need to be filled with a new person. Thanks and please let me know if you have any questions. Perdita Holtz, AICP Planning Systems Coordinator Orange County (NC) Planning Department P.O. Box 8181 (mailing) 131 W.

Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: It has been made plain that the BOCC has made every effort to increase the public good without a commensurate increase in taxes. However, it is necessary that continued growth of populations and public services will require an increase in income from new tax resources such as a growing tax base of successful businesses. I have considerable experience in these areas, and would like to apply them in a productive manner.

A combination of successful product development and commercialization of products, successful private business creation and management, successful coordination of commercial business, academic research, and government agency activities, successful public relations programs, and knowledge of the needs of government agencies for successful management of their programs. What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? Planning Board: provide complete and accurate recommendations to the BOCC in regard to preparing that body to make confident and appropriate decisions in the realm of growth opportunities for the County. The breadth and depth of my expertise and experience makes my service as an Advisory Board member unique. What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related to growth? Maintenance of the rural atmosphere of the County while growing revenues in an economically viable and sustainable manner; providing required services to the citizens of the County as population and commercial growth continues; countering the health and environmental risks that growth presents. What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth? This Board should be the lead avisory resource for the BOCC in their responsibility for both short- and long -term success and quality of life of the citizens of the County. How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities?

Senior IP Counsel 2010 Eno Male Caucasian Community Activities /Organizational Memberships: North Carolina Bar Association Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: None Boards /Commissions applied for: Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Background, education and experience relevant to this board: As an attorney, I have been trained in analyzing the law, which lends itself to analyzing all new information. While I do not have any specific background in Planning, everyone has to get their first experience somewhere. I am very interested in how our County develops and am adept at getting up to speed in new areas quickly. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Being a resident of an area that recently had a siginficant amount of activity at the BOCC (the Eno Economic Development area), I attended several BOCC hearings and have grown very interested in how our County is governed and the different advisory boards that delve into various issues. My wife and I love this county and plan to continue rearing our children here and thus have a vested interest in how the County moves forward. Given how important this advisory board is, I was disappointed to see that my township is not represented at this time. I will be pleased for any qualified applicant to receive this position, and would be honored to do so myself to represent the interests of the folks in my area. Conflict of Interest: Supplemental Questions: 22 Page 2 of 2 Matthew Edwards Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Please list the work /volunteer experience /qualifications that would add to your expertise for this board. Other than training as an attorney, I do not have any particular qualifications. What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board? Sometimes the most helpful perspective to bring is one unfettered by previous experience. I do not have any preconceptions about how things should be done and I have experienced the power of this position in my work as an IP /Patent attorney. Oftentimes, because I do not have the same level of technical background as my clients, I am more willing to ask questions as I am not afraid of looking stupid . This fosters a discussion that in turn can lead to alternative paths that may not have been visited if I had known or thought I knew the answers. What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? From an outsider s perspective, it seems that the responsibility of this board is to recommend measures that will allow the county to grow and develop in a way that is in step with the general desires and beliefs of the county s residents. For example, Orange County prides itself on preserving nature, environmental concerns, etc and this board should help in the development and recommendation of plans to the BOCC that are in step with those beliefs. If appointed, I hope to contribue to the development and recommendation of just such plans, ones that balance the County s need for growth with the values that we all have as residents. What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related to growth? I think the most important issue facing Orang County and its growth is that many, many people move to this county from our Triangle neighbors to live in a place that is more peaceful. Most of us enjoy nature and like to live in communities that are not a stonesthrow from commercial entities. The problem with this is that because we as residents tend to not like industry/commerce in our backyards, the residents have higher property taxes than the surrounding counties. I understand that the work of the Economid Development board is to try and develop our economy by increasing the commercial prescence, which will ultimately take some of the pressure off of residential property taxes. But this will be a difficult line to walk, as while no one likes to pay higher taxes, many residents also want to maintain the setting we have in Orange County. What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth? I think that the Planning Board should keep as it s guiding principle the reasons that people choose to live in Orang County. If we all wanted to live in highly developed, commercial and industrial areas, we would live in Wake or Durham county. But we do not, and in fact, many of us have moved from those counties to escape those types of areas. I think the Planning Board needs to consider the values and desires of residents in the communities near to any proposed developments. How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities? Unfortunately, the linked filed is from 2009, so I do not believe the goals and priorities stated therein are the same as those for the current year.

What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? 25 Page 2 of 2 Jay Hichens The board needs to find the crucial balance between county growth and the preservation of the rural and artistic communities that have been the hallmark of Orange County. I hope to be able to offer a reasoned approach that helps meet this goal. What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related to growth? Preservation of the counties rural heritage and environment while encouraging controlled growth that provides a wide spectrum of jobs and a stable tax base will be a significant chanllenges. What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth? The planning board should learn from the best and worst examples of similar couties across the US and offer the people of Orange County a comprehensive set of choices for future growth.

Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: Orange County Human Relations Commission Boards /Commissions applied for: Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Background, education and experience relevant to this board: As a lifelong Orange County resident, I believe that I have a great deal of life experience in regards to the planning needs of the County. Orange County is in the midst of great expansion and planning due to a boom in economic activity. The County needs a concerned citizen who will be able to advocate for a balance in the needs of the county s economic interest and the citizens of our county. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I m a concern citizen that would like to have a greater say in how our county plans for economic activity. We need a thoughtful discussion and evaluation accordingly if we re to be both economically vibrant and welcoming to our current and future residents. Conflict of Interest: Supplemental Questions: 27 Page 2 of 2 Matt Hughes Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Please list the work /volunteer experience /qualifications that would add to your expertise for this board. In the roles I ve served in in the community, I ve had to interact with a great deal of people from a variety of paths in life. That gave me a sense of what the people of Orange County want and what they need. What they need is development that is thoughtful, that will bring in tax revenue, and increases our quality of life. What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board? As a young person living in the county, who is also a lifelong resident, I think I bring in a unique view to the Board. I m someone that knows what Orange County was like not that long ago and what development should look like as a young person who wants to stay local. What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? I believe this Board should represent the needs and interests of both Orange County government and the citizens of our community. Their mission should be to seek middle ground between these two groups and work with developers to implement commonsense regulations on development, especially if there could be a negative environmental or economic impact. What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related to growth? Smart planning and planning for the future. Many communities that surround Orange County are not planned smartly and tend to divide those within their communities. I think that smart planning that seeks to create a sense of community, while also making sure that we are economically sound and welcoming to new residents and businesses is paramount to ensuring that we have smart growth that we can be proud of. What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth? The Planning Board should certainly take a guiding role in the growth of our community. Smart growth is one that is planned deliberately and carefully, but that doesn t gum up the works of bringing needed economic activity to Orange County. It is the Planning Board s responsibility to balance the needs of the residents of Orange County, Orange County government, and developers in order to reach a comprehensive understanding on development. The role is not to block growth, but it facilitate growth. How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities? First and foremost, the Planning Board should implement greater collaboration with area governments so that planning can be more unified in nature. The Triangle is a great place to live, work, and play with a great deal of economic activity taking place across county lines. Secondly, the Planning Board should be working to ensure that the growth of Orange County is sustainable in water usage, energy usage, and smartly protecting and using our natural resources. This is all achieved by finding balance and being innovative. Most importantly, I would advocate for a high quality of life for Orange County residents by working hard on the sustainability and collaborative goals as I believe those are two of the most important goals the Planning Board could or should have. Looking towards the future is often hard, but we cannot soothe current needs without thinking about future actions and we cannot work to soothe those needs without working as part of the whole.

First in Southern Village and now in the Eno Township. This is such a beautiful part of North Carolina I hope to never leave. I am organized, detail oriented, and capable of making things happen in groups. I have started, with help from others of course, a Chapel Hill Toastmasters Club, A Chapel Hill Questers club, and my own business. I am happy to say my independent jewelry appraisal business has been successful for over nine years. Notably, there is only one other independent appraiser in North Carolina. As an appraiser in the National Association of Jewelry Appraisers, I am held to high standards for ethics and am required to follow the Government s Uniform Standards for Professional Appraisal Practice. My BS degree is in Child and Family Services. I graduated in 1980 Magna Cum Laude. The profession taught me to listen more than talk, a worthy attribute I aspire to and practice every day. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: 33 Page 2 of 3 Kim Piracci I find that my personal values are usually in lockstep with Orange County s. Even though some community practices are counter intuitive regarding long term growth, for example, public transportation versus more roads and parking spaces, Orange County usually gets it right. I spent my first 17 years in Orange County living is Southern Village. This past summer, with our children grown, we moved to a smaller house in the county. Adjacent to and wandering in our property is a little creek that empties into the Eno River. I find that I have become more interested in our fresh water sources and protecting the watersheds.

Kim Piracci, GG Jewelry Appraiser, Owner, Graduate Gemologist and Certified Senior Appraiser, planned, implemented and built small business in Chapel Hill. Charter President of Speak Up! Toastmasters in Chapel Hill, planned, implemented and worked together with a diverse group of people to found a new group for Chapel Hill and surrounding areas. Last year I helped to start and am now the Treasurer for a Chapel Hill Questers group. Questers is an international organization with a mission to preserve and restore local landmarks. There is a new group starting in Hillsborough as well and I plan to be part of that effort. It seems that I often find myself in leadership positions, beginning in elementary school and through college, often being elected to student government positions. I like to see people working together toward improvements. What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board? I lived in Chapel Hill, actually Southern Village, for seventeen years. Our children came of age here, utilizing the library, public transportation, parks and other amenities here. I appreciate the contribution these facilities make to the quality of life here. I now live in the county and welcome the wild spaces, trails and watershed areas and recognize the importance of them for the benefit of people that live in Orange County. I am a business owner and know that it can be a difficult place to open a business in. I also appreciate that these difficulties protect the county and people that live here, and make it a terrific place to live. An appropriate balance is obviously what we all would like and what I would like to participate in. What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? Broadly speaking, the Planning Board would make sure that Orange County has a wonderful future. More specifically, the Board addresses land use, public transportation and other issues affecting the county. As I understand it from the website, the board researches Orange County, decides on appropriate objectives, develops policies and proposes them to the Board of County Commissioners. I personally, would like to work on protecting our natural environment. What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related to growth? To quote a famous politician from the last century, It s the economy, stupid. Obviously we need to have steady economic growth. How can we protect our citizenry, and the environment as our universities and businesses grow? What infrastructure do we need to build 34 Page 3 of 3 Kim Piracci and repair to support the growth? How can we remain flexible in a time when information and technology changes practically daily? How can this be accomplished with the support of the community? What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth? The Planning Board seems to be a research and advisory board. As such, it would be the responsibility of the board to provide the most factual and unbiased reports to the Board of County Commissioners, taking into consideration the desires of the citizens, the businesses and the environment. How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities? If I was on the Planning Board, and I hope that I will be, I would like to work on Goal Five, Priority 16, educating the public. The specifics and limitations of that contribution are unclear to me right now. However, I believe that education and information are the solutions to most problems.

Conflict of Interest: Supplemental Questions: Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Please list the work /volunteer experience /qualifications that would add to your expertise for this board. At the County level, I ve served as a citizen activist on numerous county -wide issues.

As Chapel Hill s appointee to OWASA, I have worked hard to maintain the highest fiscal and environmental standards throughout the organization. As the current Chair of the HR Committee, I ve emphasized policies that serve to bolster a productive and effective work force What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board? I ve worked on a number of issues - social services, environment, transit and economic development - with County -wide impact and would bring a holistic perspective grounded in that experience. It s important that our wider community has access to the decisions that are made on their behalf and I d work hard to improve communication and participation by our citizens in this key governmental process. What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? The Board has both operational and strategic responsibilities. Strategically, the Board reviews relevant policy changes by other Board s for impacts on land -use policy. The Board is responsible for analyzing changes within the UDO (and other regulatory frameworks) to make sure they align with the BOCC s goals as well as serving the general public good. Operationally, the Board reviews proposed projects to make sure they adhere to established regulatory requirements, align with BOCC initiatives, synchronize with economic, social and environmental goals. The Board can recommend improvements in plans and determine if variances in policy are warranted by an overriding public good. What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related to growth? Integration and consistency. Integration of municipal growth within Orange County. Integration of social, transit, economic and environmental policies with planning policy. Integration of policy within a wider regional context. Consistency within Orange County s own approach and overlaps with municipal and ETJ concerns. What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth? The Planning Board can take the time and provide the analysis to make sure our community is being well- served by growth. As Orange County grows we need to make sure that our citizens can continue to be able to afford to live here, that the quality of life we ve come to accept isn t degraded, that our economic base is improved without diminishing the environment. How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities? 37 Page 3 of 3 Will Raymond I have an established record of promoting transparency within the governance process and would like to work on improving communication between the Board and the wider community on Planning issues.

As a member of Orange County s Project Connect s social service outreach process, I m well aware of the depth and growing need within our community.
