AGENDA ATTACHMENT I . r FTR U P ICE The Coalition for Choice was formed in August, 1977, Uy individuals and organiza- tions who were c ncerneL by the federal government's action not to pay for abor- tions for women who were eligible for redical assistance. The Coalition wo ked to get ,groups in the Charlotte/liecklenburg area to formally endorse the four principles which were drawn up at the 2nd meeting. These prin- ciples are: 1. Abortion is the right of women. This right was upheld by the Supreme Court in 1973. 2. The "Hyd Amendment", which cuts off federal funding for most abortion , is blatantly discriminatory against poor women and threatens the right of all women to choose a medically safe abortion. 3. Congress should fund abortions for women who are eligible for federally funded medical assistance. 4. The State of North Carolina should be urged to pick up funding for abortions until, the federal, goverrwment again resumes its responsibility. By early December 1.977, twelve groups publicall,y endorsed the Coalition. These grooms are: AAMI -- Charlotte Branch, B'nal B'rith Women •- Ch. 7B1, Charlotte/Meek. urg Rape Crisis Service, Charlotte Women's Political Caucus, Charlotte Women's Center, Mecklenburg Commission on the Status of I-10 yen, Mational ;abortion Rights Action League, North Carolina American Civil Liberties Union, North Carolina Black Women's Political Caucus, ?forth Carolina National Organization for tomen, people's All.iance...and Planned Parenthood of Greater Charlotte. Indiv'.dual$ from other organizations, which have not formally endorsed the Coal tion, have been working with the Coalition. The group is=, edia el y began working at the county, state, and federal level. Support was given to those Congressional rgpresentatives who su-Pported the most liberal language of the "Hyde Amendment" of the 1973 AEIP-Labor Appropriations Bill. At the same time, people began talking with i,ecklenburg County Commis- sioners to urge them to appropriate county funds to aid .low-income county res.i- dents. In October, on a recommendation fron, the 1•13eckl.enburg County Department Of Social Services Board, the county made funds available to pay for first- trimester abortions. Representatives from the Coalition and member organizations spoke at the COuntF Commission meeting and individually with COmmissi.on members prior to that sheet'ng. Each of the supporting groups had drawn up a position statement on the issue of funding abortions. At the end of Ser�tetnber, a statements, was se t out. In addition to the media the estatements went toe state and federal 90vernment officials. This began our contact with the Depart- ment of Human Reso rces and Departnent of Social Services at the state level.. Many People in those departments, including Dr. Sarah Morrow, Secretary of the Department of Human Resources, were sub sportive, and the state began l,aakina for funds. y - AGENDA ATTACHMENT I Page 2 , The Coalition for Choice began circulating petitions, mainly in the Charlotte/ Mecklenburg area, to get individual support for its position. over 500 people signed the petitions, and on January 13 an ac. under the title "The Right to Choose" appeared in The Charlotte Observer Listing individuals and organizational supporters. Can January 17, the State Social Service Commission met in Winston Salem and approved a proposal by the Department of human Resources to use state funds to cover the medical costs for women who choose to have an abortion. The money was appropriated from February 1 through June 30, 1978. The guidelines for use of this money are the same as the federal guidelines were prior to cut-off of funds. The Social Service Commission made it quite clear that any money used for this purpose after :Tune 30th would have to come from the State Legislature. We are presently devising strategy to work with the State Legislature on this issue and to .Lobby the federal government to abolish the "Hyde Amendment" in the 1978 NEW-Labor Appropriations Bill. The Coalition believes that worsen have the right to choose a medically safe abortion. We will continue to work to make sure that this right is protected. If you want to support, this right, please join us.

ABORTION FUNDING IN NORTH CAROLINA BACKGMUM: On January 22, 1973, the United states Supreme court ruled that abortion .laws in Texas and Georgia were unconstitutional. The court held that during the first trimester, the only restriction that could be imposed was that abortions be performed by a lice=ed physician. In May. 1973, the North Carolina General Assembly enacted legislation whereby abortions became more readily available in North Carolina. In North Carolina prior to August, 1977 abortions were funded 'for women who qualified for medical assistance tinder the Medicaid Program (Title X1X of Social Security at) and title XX of the. Pubiic Health Service ?tat. These funds paid the cost of first and second t3rimester abortions. The federal government paid 0 percent of' t2ie cost and North Carolina 10 percent. In October, 1976 the Hyde Amendment which. was an amendment to the 19764977 HEW-Labor Appropriations bill was to have gone into effect. It said that: "None of the funds contained in this!act shall be used to perform abortions except where the Life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to terns. Tn October; 1976 Judge Dooling in New York issued a pre- liminary injunct on and the Hyde Amendment was not implemented until. the Supreme Court acted in le Sutter of 1977. in the summer of 1977 the Supreme Court made a decision that affected abortion funding. on Jun: 20, 197'7 the court ruled that states were not required to pay for non-therapeutic abortions under Medicaid even though full term pregnancies were covered. Two months later, a federal district court dissolved its order that had enjoined a congressional prohibition on the use of federral funds for abortions. The 1.976 Hyde Amendment .immediately went into effect. In the meantime, Congress began considering the wording of the Hyde Amendment that was to be ckdd, on to the 1977-78 Labor-HEW Appropriations bill. Before the issue was finally resolved on December 7, 1977 after a bitter five and a half month deadlock, there had been approximately, 30 votes and the passage of two month-long =ntinuing resolutions. (temporary funding measures) so that federal employee could be paid. The final wording was little batter than- that passed in 1. 76. This issue will again be brought, up before Congress In the summer of 1978. IN NORTH CAROL=z All but 18 states and D. C. have cutoff all funding for abortions. In North Carolina, after he August, 1.977 cutoff of funds, several counties, including Mecklenburg, Wak , and Durham., continued to pay for first trimester abortions under certain ci cumstatctasj out of .county funds. on January 17, 1978, the Social Service mmission acting upon a :reco ndation from Dr. Sarah Morrow, Secretary of the North Carolina Uepartmisnt of Human Resources, voted to use state funds to p y the medical east of abortions from February 1, 1978 until June 30, 1978. f state funds are to be made available'after that tine, the North Carolina eral Assembly will have to pass a supplemental appropriations bill in June, 19 8. i AGENDA ATTACHMENT I ` THE IMPACT The withdrawing of Medicaid funds for abortion discriminates against poor women. It will . .. sharply reduce the availability of safe legal abortion for women; . .: increase the number of deaths and injuries they will suffer due to botched, illicit and late procedures; _« . .. increase the incidence of unwanted and high risk childbearing :. among low income women; increase births among teem=agers; .'.. diminish their chances for lessening dependency; and .. . deepen their poverty. Specifically, if the (approximately) 4,000 North Carolina wofrien who.had fed- erally funded abortions last year had been denied legal abortion: An estimated 2-4 might have died from illegal abortion; approx- imately 168-332 might have 'regtilred hospitalization for resulting injuries or infections;l . .. maternal and infant deaths would have risen since many of these poor women, due to inadequate nutrition and health care, would have been at "high-health risk" when pregnant.:: They would have beenat" - even greater.risk if under 16, over 35, or had 4or more children:; Ra:d they been forced to carry their pregnancies to term they would have faced increased danger of toxemia, infection, and hemorrhage.'

In North Carolina in the 19th century abortion was prohibited except to save the .life of the mother. Liberalization of North Carolina's law oocu=ed in 1967 and in 1971 to allow abortion when two physicians were in agreement on the need. In 1973, to comply with the Supreme Court decision of .that year which gave women the right t6 choose. an abortion, the General Assembly enacted the statue which is currently in effect. The North Carolina Medical, Care Commission said that during the first 10 to 12 weeks of conception, abortions may be performed by a licensed physician in ei-tbpr freestanding clinics or outpatient facilities. Because of a 1977 Supreme Court decision ana subsequent action by Congress in 1977 most low income woven•across the country are being denoted the option to choose an abortion as R solution to a problem pregnancy. Federal funding for this medical procedure is denied most women in the United States who are eligible for other government assisted medical care. Only seventeen states, including North Carolina and the D. C. have elected to cover the cost of abortions. .,. In North.

Planned Parentho of Greater Charlotte 951 S. independe ce Blvd., Suite 930 Charlotte, NC 2e202 AGENDA ATTACHMENT 11 ORANGE COUNTY HEALTH AND MEDICAL CARE ADVISORY COUNCIL 46 14�e � The purpose of this report is to st.mmarize the view's of the undersigned regarding the need to establish in Orange County a health and medical care advisory council which would be appointed by and report to the County Commis- sioners of Grange County. The undersigned understand and recognize the respon- sibilities and functions of the Orange County Board of Health, the Capital Health Systems Agency, Orange Chatham Comprehensive Health Services , various professional organizations such as the Durham-Orange County Medical Society, the hospital associations , and other groups interested in problems of the health and medical care delivery in Orange County. They also recognize the fact that the trustees of the North Carolina Memorial. Hospital are concerned with providing hospital care to Many citizens of the county. The proposed organization would not duplicate the work of any of these organizations. It would complement and strengthen all of these activities both by bringing unto sharp focus the needs o. Orange County in relation to health and medical care and by caiWully tabulating and making known the various options open to the people of Orange County and their elected representatives in their efforts to meet the health and medical care needs of all county residents. To assure close cooperation and coordination of function between the counci the Orange County Board of Health, and the Capital. Health Systems Agency, the membership of the Council should include but not be limited to representatives from these two units, other providers and consumers. Secondly; appropriate liaison should be established with organizations and consumer groups who are not represented as members to assure appropriate input from each. The purpose of the council would be to work closely with the Capital Health Systems Agency and the Department of Health and the other professional and con- sumer organizations mentioned in defining as precisely as possible the health AGENDA ATTACHMENT' II Page 2 and medical. care needs of each community of Orange County and to periodically report to the County Commissioners and to the people of Change County regarding the spectrum of zervioes from which they might choose in their efforts to pro- mote health and f edical.. care programs for the people of the county. These perio is reports would contain sufficient detail to permit the County Commissioners an the people of Grange County to understand the requirements for implementing each program presented as an option and insofar as possible to indicate the Expected costs of and benefits from each„ alternative. The report would also be expected to indicate what effect new programs would have on the programs that arE now in operation. This would require a careful inventory of the current programs including their cost to the people of Orange County along with the service that are currently being provided through each program. The primary goal of this advisory council might be summarized by saying that it would attempt to bring into focus in periodic reports to the County Commissioners and people of Change County the health and medic,- care needs of each community o Grange County in such a way that citizens can relate to what the problems are and what their options are in moving to meet these needs.

AGENDA ATTACHMENT VI March 30, 1978 .. „ Memo To: Orange County Board of Commissioners Q From: Neal Evans, Finance Director Subject: Proposed Budget Amendment The attached budget amendment makes numerous changes relating to the School Bond issue, a further distribution of funds previously appropriated for Central Dispatch, additional funds for liability insurance, and increased revenues and appropriations for the Housing Authority and the South Orange Fire District. -- -1_)._._School _.Bond changes:_ the School Capital Bud et is changed to reflect the actual amount remaining for each system at June 30, 1977 plus an additional $10,000 to cover allowable costs related to the bond sales. The $10,000 will come from interest accruing to that fund. An additional $152,550 for interest and $600 for fees will be re- quired for the June 1 , payment of interest on these bonds. The source of these funds is $61 ,360 in accrued interest from Dec. 1 , 1977, (the effective date of the bonds) paid by -the purchases, and $71 ,190 transferred from the General Fund. This General Fund amount will come from interest earned on investment of the bond proceeds prior to actual use. 2) The Central Dispatch amendments distribute a single line appropriation previously recorded to personnel .

TRUCKS I am list na for vour reference a summary of bidsifor small trucks reported at v ur last meetinu. The staff still feels the best overall buy shown on this list is, the Toyota even tough it is not the low bid. It has proven more difficult to document t is position than we had anticipated however. The magazine Consumer Re opt has not rated small trucks anytime recently. We find company suppl ed literature relatively meaningless as it deals mostly with fri vol ou items. The most significant item relating to vehicle quality we have uncovered is the December 1977 value of 1977 Toyotas and Couriers as eported in the NADA publication of vehicle resale values. This report i dicated: CURRENT MARKET VALUE AS A PERCENT OF ORIGINAL COST YEAR TOYOTA COURIERS 1976 89.8 71.8 1975 76.8 58.3 1974 51 .4 47.2 1973 49.7 35.6 1972 40.1 27.6 We have n t been able to locate any life cycle cost information relating to o erall operational cost of these vehicles. • AGENDA ATTACHMENT VIII PLATS FOR CONSIDERATION A.
